Designer Halston American

Not on view


COZINESS The quality or state of being cozy (enjoying, affording, or suggesting warmth; homey ease, and freedom from care in inconvenience):

Halston is best known for transforming the informality and comfort of sportswear into clothing suitable for all occasions. An open cardigan combined with a full-length sweater dress in soft tones of wool cashmere became one of his signature evening looks. This ensemble exemplifies Halston's facility for executing luxurious garments in a relaxed manner, intended to offer the wearer a sense of confidence and ease.
