As part of a choreographed alliance designed to further raise the profile of LG 
SIGNATURE in the minds of today's most discerning consumers, the partnership 
with ABT channeled the singular elegance of LG SIGNATURE at the gala. Renowned 
photographer Mark Seliger, celebrated for his captivating celebrity portraits 
for Vanity Fair, photographed VIP gala guests' "SIGNATURE Look."

"As a long-time fan of America's National Ballet Company®, I was honored to 
have the opportunity to join LG SIGNATURE in bringing to life the ABT gala 
experience in a fresh new way," said Seliger. "From the patrons to the dancers, 
from the venue to the integration of the sophisticated LG SIGNATURE brand, the 
evening exuded grace and elegance."

In a unique twist to traditional red carpet photos, Seliger captured ABT's 
Principal Dancers in advance of the Gala and offered ABT guests the 
once-in-a-lifetime chance to imagine themselves in a photo with the dance 
company. Posing against a backdrop of the dancers' image at a designated LG 
SIGNATURE photo station, guests received their own prima ballerina treatment by 
Seliger himself. 

"Few occasions are as elegant as American Ballet Theatre's Fall Gala," said 
David VanderWaal, senior vice president of marketing for LG Electronics USA, 
which sells the premium global LG SIGNATURE brand in the United States. "LG 
SIGNATURE is proud to commemorate the unparalleled elegance of the ABT and its 
supporters through Mark Seliger's signature elegant photography."

Enhancing the overall experience for gala guests, LG SIGNATURE transformed the 
entrance to the Koch Theater into a dramatic gallery displaying the art of 
essence behind LG SIGNATURE. Precision crafted for sophisticated consumers such 
as ballet aficianados, LG SIGNATURE products embody sophistication, luxury and 
purity, VanderWaal added. 

"We are proud to partner with LG SIGNATURE, a brand committed to setting a new 
standard of excellence," said Kara Medoff Barnett, Executive Director of 
American Ballet Theatre. "Likewise, ABT has exemplified excellence for almost 
80 years, with exhilarating performances and incomparable artists. The synergy 
between our brands offers elegance and innovation at the highest levels."
Spotlighted in the gallery were award-winning LG SIGNATURE products - led by 
the brand new 88-inch class 8K OLED TV (with images 16 times sharper than 
HDTV), and an array of Wi-Fi-enabled smart appliances including refrigerators, 
air purifiers and washer/dryer combos - all combining sophisticated design with 
unique LG SIGNATURE features.
