Halston
Pronunciation: Hall-stun
If you lived in the 1970s, then you know Halston. Roy Halston Frowick was the guy that dressed pretty much anyone who entered the door of the infamous Studio 54. He was to fashion in the 70s what Marc Jacobs is to fashion today (maybe even a little higher), bringing fabrics like ultra suede to the forefront of fashion. Everyone from Liza (Minelli) to Bianca (Jagger, Mick’s first wife) discoed the night away in his designs. However, when disco fell, apparently Halston’s status as the “it” designer fell with it. Recently, the line has started to gain prominence via vintage stores and consignment shops.
