Shocking but juicy
9 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book is a no-holds barred portrait of the fashion designer, sometimes more than you want to know, but always gripping. Amazing amount of personal information, and its just as fascinating about the Studio 54 era as it is about the inside of the fashion industry. The Prisoner of Seventh Avenue sold his name for a few rupees and was locked out of his office. I read this in one sitting. Can't wait for the movie.

Engaging and Fair
30 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
The rise and "fall" of Halston the brand has always been an intriguing story to me. I finally found a copy of this book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I felt the author fairly portrayed all sides of Halston the designer, he could have gone on the trashy end of Halston's later years but instead the author reported the drug and sex rumors without over embellishing. From a fashion business aspect, the book was fascinating, to see how quickly one can rise a legend and how simple mistakes and choices can make you "out" in the fashion world.
I would have enjoyed more pictures of Halston's fashion designs throughout the year but I suppose there are art books for that aspect.

horrible halston
13 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
fairly dry reading of a fascinating life, not nearly as naughty or revealing as I expected, I understand that a movie is being made based on this book (Alex Baldwin is expected to portray Halston). Let's hope the movie has more bite than this biography.
