  • (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole
    Halston (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The first international fashion superstar, Halston was a master of cut, detail, and finish. He dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women. Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Babe Paley, Barbara Walters, Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, and Liza Minnelli were just some of the women who wore Halston. Roy Halston Frowick was born on April 23, 1932 in Des Moines, Iowa, the second son of a Norwegian- American accountant with a passion for inventing. Roy developed an interest in sewing from his mother. As an adolescent he began creating hats and embellishing outfits for his mother and sister. Roy graduated from high school in 1950 then attended Indiana University for one semester. After the family moved to Chicago in 1952, he enrolled in a night course at the Chicago Art Institute and worked as a window dresser. Frowick's first big break came when the Chicago Daily News ran a brief story on his fashionable hats. In 1957 he opened his first shop, the Boulevard Salon, on Michigan Avenue. It was at this point that he began to use his middle name as his professional moniker. With the help of a lover twenty-five years his senior, celebrity hair stylist André Basil, Halston further developed his career by moving to New York later in 1957. Basil introduced Halston to milliner Lilly Daché, who offered him a job. Within a year he had been named co-designer at Daché, become the new best friend of several fashion editors and publishers, and left Daché's studio to become head milliner for department store Bergdorf Goodman.

    NIGHT MAGI C EN TLISG CRISRANH PT #Studio54AGO Irina Moore West Studio 54: Night Magic Known for its celebrity-studded parties, extravagant décor, and dazzling disco nights, the nightclub Studio 54 offered a magical escape from the turbulent 1970s in America. At Studio 54, political scandal, financial collapse, and the aftermath of the Vietnam War could be forgotten; race, sexuality, and creed didn’t matter. People from all walKs of life—from ordinary people to A-list celebrities—gathered together to dance the night away. This exhibition tells the story of how two Brooklyn-born entrepreneurs transformed a former Manhattan opera house and television studio into one of the world’s most legendary nightclubs. The innovative scenery and soundscapes of this disco hotspot are represented here in couture and street fashion, photographs, films, and ephemera. Though its doors were open for less than three years (from April 1977 to February 1980), Studio 54 left a glittering impression on popular culture and changed nightlife forever.
