“This is a moment to raise a glass to Rodeo Drive! There is nothing comparable. The legendary street's magic continues thanks to the exemplary fashion design and craftsmanship from the greatest fashion houses and brands in the world, the architect-designed boutique spaces, the spectacular window displays, exclusive artist collaborations and pop-ups, and our unrivaled customer service,” said Rodeo Drive Committee President Kay Monica Rose. “With our new program Rodeo Drive Celebrates, Rodeo Drive Committee member boutiques and businesses who are committed to the advancement and preservation of the street and its unique community, have come together as neighbors. They will open their doors with invitations to customers, residents, and visitors – local and international, to a series of special celebrations in honor of Rodeo Drive's unique place in fashion.”

“As summer moves into full swing, we invite our visitors and community to see firsthand why Rodeo Drive is THE place to be for fashion: our merchants' expert craftsmanship, their appreciation for fashion, as well as their unrivaled hospitality and customer service,” said Beverly Hills Mayor Dr. Julian Gold. “Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion is a great opportunity to visit our shops, stay in our hotels, and take advantage of the special offerings and personalized experiences.”

Since the 1960s, Rodeo Drive has been recognized as a coveted destination at the intersection of fashion, luxury, and entertainment. The opening of Giorgio Beverly Hills in 1961 by Fred Hayman, "the Godfather of Rodeo Drive," followed shortly after by Aldo Gucci opening the first Gucci boutique, then Van Cleef & Arpels, a Vidal Sassoon salon and Bijan Pakzad's “most expensive boutique in the world" cemented the foundation for one of the Rodeo Drive Committee's early goals “to promote Rodeo Drive as America's answer to the glamour of Rome's Via Condotti, London's New Bond Street and Paris”s Faubourg St-Honoré.” Now, nearly five decades later, the street still has the highest concentration and diversity of luxury retail stores in the world. Among the more than 100 luxury brands on the street, CHANEL, Givenchy, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, Versace, and Vera Wang, and more fashion brands offer customers exquisite luxury fashion for men and women to name a few, continue to invest for the long term in the design and build of stellar, flagship boutiques. Rodeo Drive's inextricable ties to Hollywood and the entertainment industry as the go-to service for red carpet fashion and styling and a hot spot for celebrity shopping add to the allure. In this tradition, Rodeo Drive Celebrates Fashion continues the street's singular legacy as an international fashion destination.

A Bauhaus-inspired creative campaign begins this month with modern, colorful red, blue, yellow, black, and white graphics on street pole banners along the length of Rodeo Drive, print advertising, and social and digital media activity across Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors' Bureau, the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, local hotel and participating boutique and business channels.

The second annual, week-long program Rodeo Drive Celebrates Timepieces & Fine Jewelry will take place in the fall from October 1-7, 2023.
