Catherine Martin to be honored by Rodeo Drive Walk of Style

Catherine Martin, a costume and production designer who gained note for working with Miuccia Prada on costumes for the 2013 film “The Great Gatsby,” will be inducted into the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style, it was announced on Feb. 5.

Martin will be the second costume designer to be inducted on the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style. The first was Edith Head. However, Martin was the most fitting choice for a year when Beverly Hills will be looking back at its history, said John Mirisch, Beverly Hills’ mayor.

“We are delighted to honor Catherine Martin with the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award during our centennial year,” Mirisch said. “As we look back on our own glamorous past, celebrating her re-creations of 1920s design while working with three of Rodeo Drive’s key luxury brands is particularly gratifying.” Along with working with Prada on the film, Martin also worked with Brooks Bros. and Tiffany & Co., which maintain stores on Rodeo Drive.

The award will be celebrated with a Feb. 28 party at 1927 estate Greystone Mansion, which is located in Beverly Hills. Other inductees for the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style were Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford, Gianni and Donatella Versace, photographer Mario Testino, and Diana Vreeland.
