Roitfeld And Battaglia At Ultrasuede Premiere

The film Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston premiered in Europe last night at Notting Hill's Electric Cinema in London and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia were among the beautiful people celebrating its release. Director Whitney Sudler-Smith tells the story of the life of Roy Halston, a veritable fashion legend famed for dressing the jet set: Jacqueline Kennedy, Bianca Jagger, Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, Liza Minnelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Anjelica Huston. Hostess Kinvara Balfour shone in Halston amidst the glamorous guests screening the film including Sara Brajovic, Edie Campbell, Matt Collisaw, Andrea Dellal, Charlotte Dellal, Marina Hanbury, Nicky Haslam, Daniella Helayel, Fran Hinckman, Nellee Hooper, Annabelle Horsey, Stephen Jones, Dan Macmillan, Polly Morgan, Princess Tatiana of Greece, Marios Schwab, Amanda Sheppard, Sacha Volkova, David Walliams, and Matthew Williamson. The afterparty was conveniently located directly above the show at the Electric Club where the sounds of the 70s colored the night, paying proper respect to Halston's immense influence on disco fashion.

I would love to see that movie. When I think of Halston, I think of Studio 54 & Bianca Jagger. Who wouldn't want to see a movie like that?

Halston was such a pioneer. His apparel radiated such simplicity and utility and his influence is seen everywhere; had there been no Halston, we wouldn't have Tom Ford. He discovered new fabrics, such as Ultrasuede, and re-dressed the urban American woman in a sleek, refined style that often, literally, was seamless. Per Luca Turin, one of my fav perfume bloggers, Halston parfum in its initial formulation with its unique bean-shaped Elsa Peretti bottle, was considered an American classic. He dressed everyone from Jackie O to Lady Astor. And yes, there is all that Studio 54 stuff.

If you are interested, someone on YouTube has posted a remarkable, vintage Halston 4-part fashion show. It's really worth looking at. I just looked at it recently and realized how very influential he was.

RIP Halston
