What Makes Rrivre Work? A Peek Inside His World

By Pauline Parry This is the third in a fun series I've been doing where I get up-close-and-personal with people in our industry. This month I chatted with the multi-talented Rrivre Davies of Rrivre Works in Los Angeles. Rrivre's designs follow his belief that celebrations should provide joyous memories that last a lifetime.

So a year has gone by since the last Polo Classic match put on by Veuve Clicquot. Last year was a grueling event, with more than double the guest count turning up. The guests were acting like they have never eaten before, not letting us get to the buffets with the food, people swarming us like they were going to die unless they got some of the cheesecake stuffed strawberries�. It was tough. This year we were ready. To see how the event unfolded, along with some rather entertaining photos please click here
