Roitfeld And Battaglia: Urban Hoedown

On Monday night, Marc Jacobs and the Art Production Fund hosted an Urban Hoedown, genuine right down to the hay scattered on the floor of the Tribeca warehouse space. Partygoers were invited to indulge in cowboy costumes for the evening and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia obliged, pictured here wearing Band of Outsiders, Marc Jacobs, and Rodarte. Highlights included authentic Western style BBQ and a mechanical bull (although neither Vlad nor Gio braved the bucker to my knowledge). Vladimir shared that his favorite cowboy is Clint Eastwood which of course prompted me to sing, "Rollin' rollin' rollin'... Though the streams are swollen... Keep them doggies rollin'... Rawhide!"

Rawhide? I prefer the man with no name.

Michael, frankly, I googled Clint Eastwood to come up with that joke, for what it's worth...

No, I have never actually seen Rawhide or Man With No Name or any Western in its entirety that I can recollect... I just know the song, I find the whip cracks soothing.

Now if you'd care to discuss a nouvelle vague film or two, i could get into that...

LOL!

I think Vlad nailed it. Gio not so sure, prairie skirt, feathers and the huge buckle belt it is almost too costumey.
