Set into the sidewalks of Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Style honors designers and style icons who have shaped fashion and design. It is free to visit and makes a good thread to follow while you browse the boutiques.
History
The City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee created the Walk of Style in 2003. The first honoree was Giorgio Armani, in September 2003, and new names have been added at ceremonies over the years since.
Where to find it
The plaques run along the sidewalks of Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way. The symbol of the Walk is Torso, Robert Graham's bronze sculpture at the corner of Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way, a popular photo spot.

- Start at Two Rodeo at Wilshire Boulevard and walk north.
