April 4th 2010 05:40
ULTRASUEDE: IN SEARCH OF HALSTON, a new documentary by Whitney Sudler-Smith that takes viewers on a fabulous, fun-and-fact-filled journey through the life and times of the country's first celebrity designer, will have its World Premiere on Friday, April 30th at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, it was announced today.
No one represents the 70's quite like legendary designer Halston, and Sudler-Smith's film, two years in the making, combines a prodigious amount of archival footage, (meticulously researched and sourced from every possible outlet), and stunning still photographs brought to thrilling life with imaginative 3D effects. Most importantly, there is a fabulous array of interviews with various cohorts, commentators, witnesses, and survivors of Halston's empire: Andre Leon Talley of Vogue, his best friend, Liza Minnelli; two of his leading models, Anjelica Huston and Pat Cleveland; fellow designers Diane von Furstenberg, Stephen Burrows, Naeem Khan, and Ralph Rucci; musicians Billy Joel and Nile Rogers (both of whom used "Halston" as a lyric in hit songs); journalists Bob Colacello and Glenn O'Brien (of Andy Warhol's Interview), Jim Moore of GQ, Cathy Horyn of the New York Times, and Amy Fine Collins of Vanity Fair, among others.
ULTRASUEDE: IN SEARCH OF HALSTON is produced by Adam Bardach, Anne Goursaud and Nicholas Simon; written by Anne Goursaud, and executive produced by Mark Urman and Shawn Simon. It will be presented as a gala special event under the festival's "Tribeca Talks" rubric and will be followed by a panel including Talley, Smith, Cleveland, and Rucci, among others.
