Halston Heritage Collection Dress
Like any dutiful fashion slave, I have watched and re-watched the SATC movie trailer memorizing every outfit paraded by our favourite fab foursome. How about that black, cut-out mini-dress Samantha was wearing as she ran across the street to meet the other girls? Her figure and that dress are beyond amazing.
The dress I drooled over the most has to be the white Halston Carrie sported as the doors to her building parted open like the Red Sea did for Moses. It should come as no surprise that Neiman Marcus is exclusively featuring the gorgeous Halston Heritage Collection, including that very dress (for $325 it could be yours too).
Roy Halston Frowick is an American icon. If you watch Mad Men (I watched all 3 seasons over the Holidays and am currently suffering from Draper Withdrawal), no doubt you have noticed the Jackie-O inspired pill box hats. These hats, designed by Halston, are one of his most iconic contributions to 1960′s American fashion.
“You’re only as good as the people you dress”
In the 1970′s, Halston was renowned for the draped dresses (highlighted in the current Halston Heritage Collection) adorned by celebs like Lauren Bacal, Bianca Jagger and Liza Minnelli at the infamous Studio 54 nightclub in New York City. As a result of his celeb following, Halston was famously quoted to say: “You’re only as good as the people you dress.”
If the SATC girls are sporting his dresses in 2010, we can all agree that Halston’s legacy continues to be as good as the people he dressed.
