词条 Halston
释义
Halston
American designer
byname of Roy Halston Frowick
born April 23, 1932, Des Moines, Iowa, U.S.
died March 26, 1990, San Francisco, Calif.
American designer of elegant fashions with a streamlined look.
Halston studied at Indiana University and the Art Institute of Chicago and operated a millinery shop in Chicago before joining milliner Lilly Daché in New York City. In 1959 he became a milliner for Bergdorf Goodman; in 1966 he expanded his line into clothes and in 1968 began his own couture house, which catered to celebrities. He won the Coty American Fashion Critics “Winnie” awards for having the most influence on fashion in 1971 and 1972. In 1973 he sold his business to the Norton Simon conglomerate for $16 million but continued as principal designer until 1984.
Halston's simple yet chic designs included Ultrasuede shirtwaist dresses, tailored suits, traditional chiffon and crepe evening dresses, cashmere sweater sets, tunics, slinky halter dresses, and knitted cape-stoles. Beginning in 1984 he tried unsuccessfully to buy back his business; his later creations were limited to costumes for Martha Graham's dance company.
