<p><font size="1">In the pantheon of American fashion designers, Halston
reigns supreme. </font><font size="1">A new biography of the American
clothing designer follows his career from the early days as a milliner
for Bergdorf Goodman through his immense influence on international
couture. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="1"> "He mixed couture-level garment construction with
the reality of modern lifestyles," write the authors of "Halston:
An American Original" (HarperCollins, �29.75 at amazon.co.uk). "Both
in spirit and in detail, he led fashion's redefinition from the
pie-in-the-sky dictates of a handful of designers to apparel driven
by women's needs." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">In 1959 Halston - born Roy Frowick Halston in 1932
in Des Moines, Iowa - left Chicago for NYC to work for the famed
French milliner Lilly Dach�. He was named co-designer at Dach� after
only one year. Soon thereafter he accepted a position at Bergdorf
Goodman, a fashionable New York department store, where he charmed
his clients and made a name for himself. After two years at Bergdorf
he succeeded in becoming the store�s first designer to have his
name placed in the hats he designed. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">In 1962 he designed the famous pill box hat worn
by Jackie Kennedy at the President�s inaugural, making the Halston
name a household word. Later that year he was bestowed the Coty�s
Fashion Critics Award. In 1966 Halston designed his first ready
to wear collection for Bergdorf Goodman. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">He opened his own salon in 1968 and became the toast
of New York�s fashion society. His close circle of friends and clients
would come to include some of the most fascinating men and women
in the world, among them Liza Minnelli, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,
Andy Warhol, Mick and Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth Taylor. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Halston�s career sky-rocketed during the 1970�s
and his designs set the standard for American designers. He reintroduced
the twinset, made cashmere chic again and reinvented the caftan.
The Halston name became synonymous with classically cut, simple,
spare and elegant designs, a phenomenally successful fragrance line
and the fabric known as "Ultra suede". He was the undisputed high
priest of fashion. He went on to design and license his name on
thirty-one different licensing products including a range of home
linen, uniforms for Braniff International Airlines and a line of
luggage. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Throughout most of the seventies he epitomized the
glamour and decadence of the era, becoming a central figure in the
nightlife scene of New York�s Studio 54 disco and eventually succumbing
to the ravages of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in
1990. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">But the name Halston is back in fashion since 1998,
thanks to actress Minnie Driver wearing their stunning red evening
gown to the Oscars that year and receiving world-wide press coverage.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">For the Spring/Summer 2001 collection, Halston brought
70's ultra-suede into the 21st century. </font><font size="1">The
signature 70's shirtdress received a very enthusiastic welcome.
</font><font size="1">Other high points during the fashion show
were the leopard print chiffon dresses and blond and gold lace tops
with gold leather pants. A bronze tennis sweater and "Fort Knox"
T-shirt dress shimmered down the catwalk. A sexy but practical piece
was a black "Turn-Around" dress that could be pinched and gathered
either in the front or the back. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Pictured above: One of the coloured silkscreen prints
by Andy Warhol used as in-store displays for Halston.</font><font size="1"><br>
