The Rodeo
Drive Walk of Style® was
introduced in 2003 by the City of
Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive
Committee to honor style legends
for their contributions to the worlds
of fashion and entertainment.
Selected by an independent group of
representatives from the media, entertainment
and fashion industries, the Rodeo Drive
Walk of Style® honors
industry leaders with a lasting tribute
that commemorates their life-long achievements.
Honorees are presented with permanent
plaques featuring their personal quotes
and signatures, which are then embedded
into the sidewalks along Rodeo Drive.
Recipients of the Rodeo Drive Walk
of Style® Award
have celebrated this distinguished
honor with star-studded awards ceremonies
at landmark Beverly Hills locations
including Rodeo Drive, the Beverly
Hills Post Office and Beverly Hills
City Hall.
The symbol for the Rodeo Drive Walk
of Style®,
a sculpture entitled “Torso,” created
by world-renowned artist Robert Graham,
has become a focal point of the famed
street. Standing 14-feet tall at the
intersection of Rodeo Drive and Dayton
Way, “Torso” is made from solid aluminum
blocks and mounted on a bronze pedestal.
As part of the induction, each recipient
receives a maquette of “Torso”, also
designed by Mr. Graham, as the Rodeo
Drive Walk of Style® Award.
