The Roitfelds At Indochine Anniversary Party

On Friday night Indochine celebrated 25 years of decadence with seven hours of non-stop over-the-top partying and of course both of the Restoin-Roitfelds, Julia and Vladimir, were part of the wild scene. The 1920s Shanghai party theme inspired delightful costumes, the signature edibles tantalized partygoers, and the deft DJs kept the packed crowd gyrating.

The evening's entertainment featured go-go dancers in birdcages as well as on poles and performances by Raven O, Narcissister, Peppermint, Epiphany, and The Ones with Wanda Acosta, Belinda Becker, Nick Cohen, Coleman, Donna D’Cruz, Mess Kid, and Rawdon spinning.

The swank soirée was hosted by owners Michael Callahan, Jean-Marc Houmard, and Huy Chi Le; among the guests were Lily Donaldson, Naomi Watts, Iman, Zac Posen, Willem Dafoe, Charlotte and Olivier Sarkozy, Anna Sui, Michael Keaton, Andy Valmorbida, Frederique van der Wal, Harley Viera-Newton, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Chiara Clemente, Victor Calderone, Rosie Perez, Byrdie Bell, Liev Schreiber, Erin Fetherston, Ellen von Unwerth, Narciso Rodriguez, Francisco Costa, Genevieve Jones, Stephen Gan, Hamish Bowles, Stefano Tonchi, Jennifer Brill, Sam Shaffer, Isabel Rattazzi, and Poppy De Villeneuve.

The Roitfelds are clearly smitten with the place, as Julia said, “I come here all the time..I’ve had my three last birthdays here, my brothers’ three last birthdays, all the big events...It’s quite a magical place, you know?” If you did not make the party, there's also the Indochine 25th anniversary book...

I like the way you shopped Vlad's picture on top of the burlesque girls like he's leering at them :P.

Thanks for noticing, sweetness. I had in mind a sort of peephole effect...

Reminds me of the Shanghai Pervert Parties, but those are even more over the top, you can check a video from a shanghai pervert party here

At first I thought that footage might have been shot at my Halloween party!

Thank you for your apt reference, Sean, the Indochine scene bears a strong resemblance to the SPP.
