Do you remember Roy Halston’s glory days in the 1970s? Women in his creations were often seen in flowy skirts and vibrant colors rocking it out on the streets of New York City or inside the notorious Studio 54 nightclub. In fact, Halston was often sighted there, accompanying one of his favorite muses, the Oscar-winning actress Liza Minnelli. In 1972, when Minnelli was accepting the Oscar for her role in Cabaret, she rightfully wore the designer during Hollywood’s High Holy Night. Since then, Halston and Liza’s collaborations were stuff fashion magic was made of. They’d walk into a venue, owning the room as a tandem, and a huge part of it was because of Halston’s groundbreaking creations for the modern women. His popularity rose and soon he was dressing the likes of Bianca Jagger and Anjelica Huston.

Under the vision of industry veteran Ben Malka (who is now Halston’s new Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), the new Halston Heritage Spring 2018 collection may be a vintage throwback, but still quite appropriate for today’s women.

The war in Vietnam was over and this ushered in a time for self-expression. The brand brings back these iconic looks through their effortless collections that tell women that nothing is cooler than being alive and being yourself. May the spirit of the wild 70s live on!
