Haute Living recently organized an exclusive cover launch event to celebrate the Los Angeles Lakers’ star player, Anthony Davis. The evening, sponsored by XO and LOUIS XIII Cognac, featured a cocktail party followed by a dinner. Davis’ closest family, including his parents, Anthony Davis Sr. and Erainer Davis, and teammates such as LeBron James, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, and Avery Bradley, were in attendance.
The event began with a Champagne cocktail party on the patio of Mr. C Beverly Hills. Later, guests moved into the private dining room called “The Rialto Room.” The room was beautifully decorated with pastel-colored florals, LOUIS XIII decanters, and a large display of Anthony Davis’ Haute Living cover. The XO logo was prominently featured on one of the walls. The cover portrait of Davis reflected his fierce determination to win, which was the main focus of the story featured in the magazine.
During dinner, guests enjoyed family-style appetizers such as Artichoke and Avocado Salad with Parmesan, Fried Calamari with Tartar Sauce, Baked Tagliolini with Mushrooms, and Risotto Primavera. The entrées offered a choice between Burrata and Steak. Haute Living CEO Kamal Hotchandani expressed gratitude to XO and LOUIS XIII for their support, as well as to Klutch Sports Group, Rich Paul, and Anthony Davis for their contributions to the event and the city of Los Angeles.
The celebration continued with LOUIS XIII brand ambassador Wayne Chang leading guests through a special Cognac tasting. Anthony Davis and LeBron James shared lighthearted moments while enjoying the presentation. Chang invited guests to appreciate the rich color and aroma of the Cognac at different distances from the nose. Desserts were served, and the room filled with the sound of Baccarat glasses clinking as the Lakers team and guests raised a toast to honor Anthony Davis, their teammate and the man of the hour.
