The Art of Elysium brought out Hollywood’s elite the night before the Golden Globes to host their ninth annual Heaven Gala in Los Angeles. The event was overseen by British fashion designer and activist Dame Vivienne Westwood and design partner, creative director and husband Andreas Kronthaler as creative visionaries. Finola Hughes and Russell Young were honored with the organization’s highest honor, the Spirit of Elysium award.
The Heaven experience was divided into two parts, with the first being an industrialized modern world art installation by New York-based art director Andrew Ondrejcak which included a live performance by the racy London-based punk band, Wild Daughter. The second portion of the evening transformed into a post-apocalyptic rainforest with Detroit-based soprano Shara Worden providing musical entertainment alongside ballet dancers dressed in Westwood couture.
