Halston: Inventing American Fashion Lesley Frowick

Written by Halston"s niece and confidante, this is the first monograph to chronicle the designer"s life and his glamorous, minimalist aesthetic that personified American fashion in the electric 1970s. After rising in the fashion world from his beginnings as a milliner for Bergdorf Goodman, Roy Halston Frowick launched his eponymous womens wear label in 1968, buoyed by his connections with socialites and celebrities. As the creator of Jackie Kennedy"s signature pillbox hat and as Liza Minnelli"s fashion guru throughout the 1970s and "80s, Halston was synonymous both with American style"s modern, glamorous look and an A-list clientele. The Halston look continues to be revered today as a marker of American fashion at its peak. This book chronicles the ultrachic Halston"s journey from his homespun roots to the acme of urban fame, illustrated through the lens of the author"s personal archives and early sketches, as well as unseen Joe Eula and Stephen Sprouse drawings. His story unfolds through the author"s interviews with Jane Holzer, Marisa Berenson, Joel Schumacher, and Jeffrey Bilhuber, among others, all of whose personal narratives are essential to Halston"s enduring legacy. Spotlighting his most important design achievements and his collaborations with luminaries such as Martha Graham, Elsa Peretti, and Hiro, this book presents to readers the untold story of Halston and solidifies his place as a key designer in American fashion.
