There are those understated events that get attention for the flawless execution of invisible-to-guests nuances. Starz's after-party for the Hollywood Film Festival awards was not one of those events.

Working with Starz's Allyson Taylor (who was inspired by the hues of blue and green in the Hilton's poolside lighting scheme), Joe Moller produced the event with his team, keeping in mind the lavish lifestyles of the party's target guests: 1,200 high-level entertainment-industry execs. Moller brought in designer Bobby Trendy—best known for his days on The Anna Nicole Show—to infuse his particular brand of style in the poolside V.I.P. suites, which included faux fur, feathers from imported water fowl, and 24-karat detailing on candlesticks.

"My designs are dazzling, eclipsing, stratospheric, suffocating," said Trendy, who declared himself the most famous interior designer in the world and placed the value of the 50-percent-down sofas he created for the party at $20,000 apiece.
