Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, NYC

by trish on April 6, 2010

I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I don’t think I will be lucky enough to see it when it premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, but it is definitely on my list. It makes me happy to see so many movies popping up about fashion and the industry itself. This particular movie is of interest because I was a little girl at the time this was unfolding. It was during the 70’s & disco was raging. I clung to all my fashion magazines. I couldn’t get enough of the images and the stories.

A glowing, prismatic portrait of the rise and fall of America’s first celebrity designer—Halston—the man who was synonymous with fashion in the 1970s, and became the emperor of NYC nightlife. Interviews with friends and witnesses (including Liza Minnelli, Diane Von Furstenberg, André Leon Talley, Anjelica Huston, Bob Colacello, and Billy Joel, among others) round out this glittering evocation of the man who defined the most beautiful and decadent era of recent memory.

We found this little tidbit via FIT facebook fan page. Become a fan if you of theirs to get more great bits of information about the industry we all love so much.

Wishing I were going to be in La Jolla April 23 & 24th.  La Jolla will present it’s first Fashion Film Festival, highlighting short films with fashion as the subject. The two day event will also feature informal fashion show, discussions and after parties.

“Be part of the evolution of fashion with La Jolla’s two-day fashion event. The La Jolla Fashion Film Festival centers on a digital vision set in a world class coastal resort – utilizing seaside movie screenings,  an exclusive screening held in the center of the “Village”, fashion webcasts, twitter pop-up shows, film debuts, and more.” – LJFFF
