As of today I have decided that i'm gonna blog totally in English. This way my readers from abroad can read my stories too!
So for this next blog I must be up front and just say that this is actually kind of old news, but quite new to me! I mean, I hear about lot's of designers all the time, old and new i'm hearing new things also since i'm an art student. But this next bit I figured out all by myself.
It's all about this topdesigner named Halston from the seventies. This decade was often defined to as a time of hedonism, hazardous fun, Saturday Night Fever, Studio 54 and Andy Warhol.
And then there was Halston, a legendary designer from Des Moines, Iowa.
Roy Halston Frowich was born on April 23, 1932. He developed his interest for sewing after his mother. After high school Halston, attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and he had his first break designer hats. Atfer this Halston soon moved to New York where he moved on to designing women's wear. His design were worn by Bianca Jagger, Liza Minelli, Anjelica Huston, Babe Paley and Lauran Bacall. His style and brand were soon too be closely associated with the international jet set of that time. Despite his achievements, his increasing drugs abuse undermined his succes. And he finally got fired from his own company and lost the right to design and sell clothes under his own name. He died on March 26 1990 of complications of AIDS.
