Neiman Marcus tapped L.A. graffiti/street artist Galo “Make” Canote to create a visual feast for Christian Louboutin’s public appearance in Beverly Hills and a VIP dinner held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. For the store’s window displays, Galo recruited fellow artists to create works in progress during the event.
