Halston is the definitive chronicle of Roy Halston Frowick, the iconic 1970s designer who cleared the runways of hippie chic and defined a decade of glamorous style electrified by disco and celebrity. A must-have for the fashion and style set. Written from an insider’s perspective by Halston’s niece, this is the first complete monograph celebrating the designer’s glamorous, minimalist aesthetic that would come to personify American fashion in the decadent era of the 1970s. Known for the clothing he designed for the dance floors of Studio 54, Halston is also synonymous with a quintessentially American kind of sporty, easy fashion that embodied chic simplicity.
