is it vogue?

Fashion week had me pretty busy with the addition of life and such, so I'll try to get caught up EVENTUALLY. But whats really been getting TONS-O-BUZZ is the return of the famous 70's disco designer.

Roy Halston Frowick, also known as Halston (April 23, 1932–March 26, 1990) was an iconic clothing designer of the 1970s. His long dresses or copies of his style were popular fashion wear in mid-1970s discotheques.

He began his career as a milliner (designing the pillbox hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband's 1961 Presidential inauguration) and when he moved to designing women's wear, Newsweek dubbed him "the premier fashion designer of all America."^[1] His designs were worn by Bianca Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Anjelica Huston, Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, and Elizabeth Taylor,^[2] setting a style that would be closely associated with the international jet set of the era.

His drug infused life of the 70's inarguably ended his career. He wouldn't hire junior designers to help him, and in '84 he was fired from his own label.



ALSO, as a Sex and the City FANATIC (im actually watching it right now ;) ): There is a Halson reference there!:

Sex and the City episode Politically Erect, episode 32, Season 3. When she starts dating politician Bill Kelley, Carrie starts wearing vintage Halston as an homage to Jackie O.

And then I found these two samples that are available for purchase now! which is the beauty of updated Halston: They made their Runway clothes available immediatly, avoiding the designers ego driven 'wait' period so his/her peers can judgy wudgy.

Now Personally, I LOVE this look.
However, this look I could do without, but what do I know!?!?!?
