As the creator of Jackie Kennedy's signature pillbox hat, the designer of choice for Liza Minelli and other sequined celebrities in the 1970s, and the inventor of a deceptively simple yet glamorous approach to women's sportswear, Halston (1932-1990) is recognized as a significant figure in fashion around the world. Halston was a prolific designer whose creations throughout his career spanned the extremes of fashion: from prosaic uniforms for airlines and car rental companies to extravagant party frocks for well-heeled socialites. This is a visual anthology of Halston's life and legacy - a picture-led history of Halston as a fashion innovator. Images and text are organized in rough chronological order, mixing paparazzi shots with catwalk photographs, archival photographs by Andy Warhol, behind-the-scenes images of fashion shows and parties, sketches, and specially-commissioned photographs of Halston collections. A biographical essay introduces the book, and six 600-word texts on different periods of Halston's career are interspersed throughout, along with selected quotes by Halston, his associates, clients and famous friends.
