We’ve
been gearing up for this holiday for a while it seems and now that it’s
just around the corner, we can almost smell mom’s home-cooked dinner
and feel the warmth of our fuzzy flannels. With that in mind, we made a solid list of movies we plan on enjoying for solid hours (let’s be honest – days)
that we haven’t had a chance to watch just yet. In our quest to ensure
we have an ample veg-out sesh, we stumbled upon several movies that have
yet to be released (Batman anyone?!) but one got us super excited: Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston. No, this isn’t about a 90′s nightclub — we have Limelight for that – this documentary focuses on the life, tragedy, and talent of the man behind Halston. Finally! Film-maker Whitney Sudler-Smith interviews Halston’s muses, friends, and clients in this film that depicts the designer’s career starting as a hat maker at Bergdorf Goodman, through the glitter-speckled nights at Studio 54 and ultimately, selling his namesake to the likes of JC Penney, decades before any other brand caught onto the diffusion line trend. – - moreRelated articles
