The Rodeo Drive Committee, in partnership with the city of Beverly Hills, announced the lineup for its second annual Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion event happening Aug. 5-11 in Beverly Hills. This year’s highlighted activation will entail an energizing public exhibition featuring sculptures from renowned French contemporary artist, Richard Orlinski.
The exhibition will consist of several of Richard Orlinski’s colorful animals crafted from resin that will be placed along the iconic palm-tree lined Rodeo Drive and into the lobbies of the historic Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel. This marks Richard Orlinski’s first presence in Beverly Hills, and his work will be on display until November. Among the sculptures is the artist’s iconic “Wild Kong,” “Standing Bear,” “Panda” and “Crocodile,” as well as a new work designed specifically for the city of Beverly Hills.
“Rodeo Drive Celebrates is an opportunity to honor the exemplary craftsmanship, creativity and innovation in fashion, while engaging with our over 100 retailers to create a space that shapes the present and future of the iconic, world-famous shopping destination. We are excited to have Richard Orlinski included in this year’s celebration,” Rodeo Drive Committee President Kay Monica Rose said.
In addition to the exhibition, this year’s event will also include an impressive collection of private and public activations, including a VIP cocktail reception and ribbon cutting, exclusive pre-sale events, new collection presentations and photo moments.
Featured retailers include Auto Vault, Buccallati, Bulgari, Henry Jacques, Loro Piana, MCM, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren.
Rodeo Drive Celebrates will take place over two dedicated weeks in summer and fall: Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion, Aug. 5-11, and Rodeo Drive Celebrates Timepieces and Fine Jewelry, Oct. 7-13.
The Rodeo Drive Committee partnership with Richard Orlinski was made possible with the help of the city of Beverly Hills, Sevan Bolikian, exhibition producer and curator, Cynthia Hajjar, member of the advisory council of the Alliance Française of Los Angeles and president of UFE Los Angeles, Richard Orlinski’s team, Kathy Gohari and the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel.
