LOS ANGELES, Calif. – August 13, 2021 – HEX, award winning fashion accessory brand, today released the complete series, Women In Focus, each episode highlighting female creatives and photographers as they share their stories, challenges, successes and give advice to encourage other women in the industry.

Drawing on decades of experience in fashion, music, and art and channels to equip the next generation of creators, HEX teamed up with Natalie Amrossi, Shauna Wade, Elise Swopes, Claire Lejeune, and Enkrypt Los Angeles to create the series, and showcase a different perspective in an often male-dominated field. In each episode, the artists discuss what it took to be successful in their careers and how their unique backgrounds shaped the creative journey.

“It was a huge honor to work with and learn from this group of talented women who shaped the series with their own perspectives,” said Trent Valladares, HEX co-founder. “This was never designed as a marketing campaign. It was simply a project that we really wanted to do – shine the spotlight on a group of artists and hear from them about the challenges, influences and backgrounds that made them who they are. It’s clear that their work is opening doors for others who are getting excited about photography and creative passions.”
