There’s no better weekend to throw a party in Los Angeles than Oscars weekend, and Miuccia Prada knows this well. That’s why she chose last Friday to host the latest edition of the Double Club, her experimental art-fashion-music festival in collaboration with artist Carsten Höller, at a warehouse in LA’s Arts District.

Höller worked with the Fondazione Prada and Canadian rapper Drake to design the event with a glow-in-the-dark roller coaster, swing chairs and a carousel to amuse celebrity guests, including Letitia Wright, Shay Mitchell and Hunter Schafer. The rides orbited around an elaborate stage festooned with multicoloured lights, where acts like Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Pedro, Bianca Lexis and Anderson .Paak performed.

Drake’s contribution? He cleared a space next door to install Luna Luna, a vintage German amusement park with rides designed in the 1980s by artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Hockney, and Salvador Dali. Höller had credited Luna Luna with his inspiration for the Double Club, so after resurrecting the park en masse in 2022, Drake made sure to add LA to its US tour.

The private event became a key stop for celebrities on the Oscars trail last weekend, though Höller made no secret of its artistic virtue. He organised his layout with mathematical precision and purpose, dividing the immense space by half, then half again, and so on, directing visitors into ever-smaller spaces.

Yet his overwhelming goal was to provide a place to blow off steam, and Hollywood obliged.
