HALSTON

[BaronB 42]

To those of you who know nothing of the designer, today would've been the designer HALSTON's 83 birthday.

Not only did Halston change US fashion for good, he pretty much invented US fashion in the 70's.

And yes, Halston was GAY.

If memory serves me right, Halston helped put the French houses to shame during the 'Battle of Versailles' in the early 70s...

American fashion earned recognition and respect.... and his Z-14 still remains a classic after all these years...

Naturally, you should expect a barrage of criticism, for after all, he was gay, and that is the only thing about him that matters.

I'm not a fashion SME, but it looks like this man was a big deal in the fashion world.

RIP, Mr. Halston.

You are very correct. It is good to see someone who knows their history

Why is it important that you let people know he was GAY.
