Focus on Black Versace dress of Elizabeth Hurley and analyze the Background.
In advance of the premiere for Four Weddings and a Funeral and as a newcomer to high profile premieres, Grant had been told that he and his partner would be able to borrow designer clothing to wear to such an event.
Inexperienced in such matters and relatively unknown, Hurley contacted various fashion houses asking for such a loan but was rebuffed several times because they did not know who she was.On contacting the Versace Flagship Store on Old Bond Street, Hurley spoke to Dean Aslett, Head of Womenswear and Atelier, and who was also at that time in charge of dresses lent out for press and promotional purposes. He agreed to do Hurley a favour and lend her a dress.
Recognizing the favour, Hurley gave Aslett four tickets for the Premiere of "Four Weddings & A Funeral" that was taking place that very night. Aslett attended the Premiere with the Gianni Versace store manager, Sonja Boras and two other Versace employees, Cosimo Brancaccio & Adolpho Alvarado.
