WHO WE'VE WORKED WITH:
SAMPLES OF SUCCESS:
Southern Charm
TV Series
Bravo
Southern Charm was the brainchild of Vainglorious co-founder Whitney Sudler-Smith. After falling in love with the charms of Charleston, South Carolina in 2012, Smith passionately set out to cast and pitch a television show that would feel as unique as the city itself.
With the help of Vainglorious partner John Paul Horstmann, Smith successfully cast and filmed a pitch that was picked up by Bravo. A pilot was ordered, and six seasons later ratings are still high and the world is still enjoying Southern Charm.
Southern Charm:
New Orleans
TV Series
Bravo
After the success of Southern Charm, the team at Vainglorious set their sights on New Orleans.
Resistant to merely do a "knock-off" of Charleston, they immersed themselves in the culture and communities of New Orleans for more than a year, and emerged with an inspired concept that told the story of this unique city. Southern Charm: New Orleans went on the air in 2018 and was renewed for a second season.
Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston
Documentary
Showtime
Ultrasuede was born out of Whitney Sudler-Smith's reverence for 70's icon Halston, the first designer to put American fashion on the map in a big way. The film boasts interview with such luminaries as Liza Minelli, Anjelica Huston, Diane von Fürstenberg, Andre Leon-Talley, Stephen Burrows, Billy Joel, and Nile Rogers.
It premiered to much fanfare at the Tribeca Film Festival and has been played widely in distribution on Showtime and other media outlets.
