Earlier this month, the Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion event kicked off, the second annual edition of the popular event, with a formal reception at the Beverly Wilshire, which is a Four Seasons Hotel in honor of French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski, according to the Beverly Hills Courier.
Orlinski has made a name for himself, not only in France entertainment news, but also at the event, with an exhibit that features eight larger-than-life sculptures recently unveiled along Rodeo Drive, including pieces such as “Wild Kong,” a modern, geometric representation of a gorilla which is holding a heart that says Rodeo Drive.
The exhibit showcases Orlinski’s signature “Born Wild” style and also include sculptures such as “Standing Bear and Crocodile”.
“Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion has brought together our community to experience firsthand incredible VIP services, special programs in our flagship stores, and of course, as you see here today, world-renowned artwork from Richard Orlinsky,” Mayor Lester Friedman said.
“When I walked on Rodeo Drive, I was very surprised to see all the people, the kids, watching the structures with a smile,” Orlinksy said. “When you see the smile in the kid’s eyes, I think it’s a success.”
There is still plenty of time to catch the display as it will be running until November.
