It was charming, evoking a pre-stagram era when you just had to savor how Diane Kruger looked in her pale and floating ferretti dress; Jordan Roth’s show arriving in a Valentino Couture dress that required four men to manage the train; And the surprising ingredients that entered Total Madness, a cocktail based on vodka created by Colin Field, the famous hemingway bartender in Ritz.
