EDITION ISTANBUL LAUNCH EVENT – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI

ISTANBUL 069

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I really had fun at the Edition Istanbul launch event tonight. The atmosphere was upbeat and open, unlike other cities where such occasions can be a bit stuck-up. There was a fair share of glamour, too, starting with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, who looked stunning in a tight, long Pucci dress. She was more beautiful than any other woman in the room.

Jefferson Hack was mixing great tunes on the first floor and I have to say he's a very good DJ.

Rifat Ozbek was also there, looking dapper in a white shirt and printed scarf.

I bumped into stylist Sandra Herzman –on the left– who was in town with three girlfriends.

Guest mingled and danced in several rooms. I felt totally free and comfortable. It was like being 10 again.
