Photo: Halston

Halston was one of America’s most important designers. He was as famous for his glamorous, decadent lifestyle as he was for his elegant, streamlined clothes.

Last year, the television show “Ugly Betty” featured a vintage Halston “Fireworks” dress circa 1980. The dress is very rare as only five were made. It was worn by Keira Knightly, the guest star. Her character agreed to pose for the cover of Mode only if she could wear the dress.

We recently received a vintage Halston jacket. It is reminiscent of the “Fireworks” dress. The jacket is made out of black mesh with sequins whereas the dress is black chiffon with sequins and beads. This vintage beauty is in outstanding condition considering its age.  We will be posting it at our eBay store at the end of the month. Don’t miss it!
