Rodeo Drive Honors James Galanos

I was delighted to have the opportunity to attend the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Awards Ceremony honoring James Galanos today at Two Rodeo. The plaque unveiling and award ceremony was followed by a star-studded luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel. Mr. Galanos is an iconic American fashion designer with celebrity clients such as Diana Ross and Rosalind Russell. His most famous client was Nancy Reagan, wife of former President Ronald Reagan, for whom he designed inaugural gowns. Everyone was honored to be in his company, none more than Mrs. Reagan who was dressed impeccably in Galanos!


The Walk of Style will also include a 2-week banner program on Rodeo Drive as well as an outdoor exhibition featuring Mr. Galanos’ personal collection of Victor Skrebneski’s photographs. A perfect spot for viewing is from Luxe Hotel's Cafe Rodeo.
