September 25, 2025 - Leica Gallery West Hollywood -
The usual beautiful GENLUX crowd converged at the Leica Gallery in West Hollywood to celebrate the magazine’s 20th anniversary. GENLUX cover star and pop singer Sophie Powers—whose viral American Idol video got our attention—was also celebrating the release of her latest song, Muddy. Publisher Cecilia Moreno extended heartfelt thanks to all those who have contributed to helping create GENLUX over the past 20 years, including photographers, stylists, makeup artists, hairstylists, assistants, and publicists. A special thanks was also extended to visionary creative director Stephen Kamifuji for helming GENLUX through these years. Cecilia also gave special thanks to the generous sponsors, including Mark B. Barrons, Giovanni Haircare, Shiseido, TRST, Wiens Cellars, and Aperture Wines, as well as LogoMotion.ai, Kamifuji’s brilliant new AI venture.
