Description

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.

Author Biography:

Lesley Frowick is one of Halston's six nieces. After a childhood spent mostly abroad as the daughter of a United States diplomat, she had the unique fortune of landing in Halston's orbit during the 1980s. She worked on Halston's Spring 1984 collection and alongside him on costumes for Martha Graham's Paris Opera gala that same year. Lesley is presently a freelance photographer and she is the co-curator of a show at the Warhol Museum celebrating Halston and Warhol in May 2014. She works at National Geographic's Creative Division in Washington, D.C. Liza Minnelli is one of the most versatile, highly regarded, and best-selling entertainers in television and stage history. The daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli and the goddaughter of Kay Thompson (creator of the beloved Eloise), Liza rose to international stardom after her portrayal of Sally Bowles in the 1972 film version of Cabaret. Halston created some of Liza's most iconic costumes for her performances. Throughout the 1970s and until Halston's death in 1990, Liza remained an inspiration to and confidant of the designer. She still wears his designs today. Upon Halston's death, Liza sponsored a memorial service hosted by Elsa Peretti at Alice Tully Hall
