Lower East Side artist Richard Hambleton came out of twenty years of solitude at the convincing of art dealers Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida. The two, who have taken Hambleton under their wings, celebrated the Pop Expressionist at the start of Fashion Week with a private dinner at Armani Ristorante and opened an Armani-underwritten exhibition of his life work at 560 Washington Street, which will run until October 2. Byrdie Bell, Fabiola Beracasa, and Tallulah Harlech all made the packed show while Zani Gugelmann and Ally Hilfiger joined the crew later at the official after-party at the Restoin Roitfeld family’s favorite Manhattan dining establishment, Indochine.

Vanessa Traina looks marvelous. Head to toe.
Zani looks so fit. She really takes her of her body.
byrdies new bf is cute last pic is rly hot giovanna is lucky all the girls look super cute esp fabiola with dyed lace dress
I find Devon breathtaking.
Zani’s body looks scary in that dress — it’s like a Speedo LZR swimsuit.
Zani, please eat something, I beg you.
I adore Vanessa Traina! Felt like she and Victoria disappeared for a bit. Love their recent comeback though. Nicky and Devon have such cute dresses.
Zani looks like she lost a bit of weight, which wasn’t necessary, but where does she look too skinny? She looks quite fit to me. But how does she manage to strike the same pose in every picture? Does she practice?
Can we have a moratorium on Rick Owens leather jackets over formal wear? It’s beyond a fashion cliche at this point.
Ally Hilfiger–where u been?
That guy with Byrdie is Alex the male model from MTV’s ‘The City’! The one Whitney blew off for Jay.
love astrid, devon, zani and et la famille restoin
