CNN Halston Special Sunday August 25

CNN will have what looks like a fabulous documentary about Halston this Sunday. It not only highlights his innovative designs but also his maybe before his time business plans. Joe Zee was interviewed this morning and told the best story about the infamous pill box hat Halston designed for Jackie when Jack was inaugurated. It was windy that day and she had a hard time keeping the hat on her head and inadvertently dented it. The next day the knock off designers previewed their work with said inadvertent dents. I look forward to seeing and hearing many more interesting stories.

Didn't know much about him, it was interesting. The man was way ahead of his time.

I just started watching this. Fascinating to see Iman at her first fashion show.

Fabulous until the end which showed how he was bought out. And it was very sad........

I really enjoyed it (I agree @kutira until he was bought out) but goodness so many good and happy memories came flooding back especially seeing that iconic Halston perfume bottle again. Wow did that take me back as I wore Halston all the time.

Seeing Iman and Pat Cleveland in their prime and in those gorgeous clothes was another great moment. I had no idea that Halston launched Elsa Peretti (and was it just me but I couldn't take my eyes off that gold fish in that small bowl every time she was on) but her stuff is just so beautiful.

For those that missed it, CNN is rerunning the special next Saturday and Sunday.
