Halston — American Minimalism

2015

1968. Roy Halston Frowick founds his label. Ultrasuede shirt-dresses, draped jersey gowns. Dresses Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger, Studio 54. The American minimalist counterweight to Parisian elaboration; commits the first major designer-brand-licensing disaster with JCPenney 1983. The subject dates from 1968; this photograph was taken in 2015.
