While you can certainly draw parallels between Halston and Calvin Klein, who were contemporaries, you can also see the differences. Both considered minimalist designers, Halston is sexy in everything he did - he couldn't help himself. He sort of defined Liza Minelli and made Liz Taylor look gorgeous even when she was a little plump. Okay, a lot plump. Calvin always leaned toward the masculine lines in womenswear - Halston was the young Madame Gres. Halston's version of the traditional djellaba in cream silk dupioni has a long, pointed hood and is open to well past the breasts with two long ties at either side of the neck that are best left open. Beautiful as a dress with stacks of Kenyan silver bangles and coral beads or as a tunic with a camel turtleneck and brown silk crepe trousers. Unlined, it has short slits on either side of the hem and inseam pockets at both hips. Bust measures up to 38", shoulder to shoulder 17", outer sleeve 20.5", hips up to 42" and length 40". Excellent condition. sold |
