Robert Evans and Me

When we were approached by the Rodeo Drive committee to host a Vanity Fair photograph for a week leading up to the Oscars, I was thrilled to learn that we could choose the perfect photograph from the extensive collection of glamorous celebrities. Seen here with the legendary Robert Evans in our lobby, I invite you to view a special photographic installation of award-nominated and award-winning actors as featured in the Abrams book Vanity Fair, The Portraits: A Century of Iconic Images. The images will be on display from February 16 to 22 on Rodeo Drive and coincides with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's current exhibit "Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008." Participating retail locations includes Bally, Bernard K. Passman Gallery of Beverly Hills, Brooks Brothers, Cartier, Chopard, David Yurman, Ermenegildo Zegna, Etro, Garrard, Gearys Beverly Hills, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Ilori, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger LeCoultre, Judith Ripka, Lacoste, LladrĂ³, Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive, MaxMara, Michael Kors, Mikimoto, Ralph Lauren, St. John, Tiffany & Co., Valentino, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.
