A highlight of the event was the signature cocktail menu sponsored by Absolut Vodka. The "Absolutly Farias," a fruity vodka-based creation, emerged as a crowd favorite. Guests also enjoyed "Carollo Vineyards" Pinot Noir, which complemented the evening's elegant ambiance.
Farias, who gained recognition through his appearance in Paris Hilton's Viceland documentary "Hollywood Love Story", considers Hilton a muse for his work. He described her as "our generation's Marilyn Monroe," emphasizing her impact on early 2000s pop culture. "Just as Andy Warhol had Marilyn, I have Paris," Farias remarked. The exhibition's final piece, "21 Forever and Fame," paid homage to Hilton's role in shaping the "famous for being yourself" phenomenon.
