Program Notes
A glowing, prismatic portrait of the rise and fall of America's first celebrity designer—Halston—the man who was synonymous with fashion in the 1970s, and became the emperor of NYC nightlife. Interviews with friends and witnesses (including Liza Minnelli, Diane Von Furstenberg, André Leon Talley, Anjelica Huston, Bob Colacello, and Billy Joel, among others) round out this glittering evocation of the man who defined the most beautiful and decadent era of recent memory.
After the Movie: Director Whitney Sudler-Smith, Vogue's André Leon Talley, designer Ralph Rucci, model Pat Cleveland, and other special guests featured in the film will be on hand for a conversation about the legend of Halston, celebrity fashion design, and the city that fostered them both—New York. Moderated by Matt Tyrnauer, director of Valentino: The Last Emperor.
