As the creator of Jackie Kennedy's signature pillbox hat and the designer of choice for Liza Minnelli in the 1970s, Halston is synonymous with American style. The designer became renowned for creating a modern, minimal, yet glamorous look that encompassed everything from flowing caftans and ultrasuede dresses to uniforms that lent panache to airline attendants and The Girl Scouts of America alike. The book, produced in honor of Halston's inimitable style, is no exception to this ideal. Two hundred color illustrations, 300 black-and-white photographs and dozens of reproduced drawings and sketches not only pay homage to fashion, but celebrate design from production to completion. According to the publisher, reproducing a wide array of fabrics was not an easy task. But it was achieved by using color calibration devices that assured a matching end product, paying careful attention to texture, color and form.
