Halston Models for Spring 09 at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week



Halston Spring 2009 Runway Show


After Halston’s death in 1990, there were various entrepreneurs that attempted to revive the Halston reputation. The label went through at least eight different owners and six designers, which included John Ridge, Randolph Duke, and Bradley Bayou. The fall of 2008 brought in Harvey Weinstein, Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo, and stylist Rachel Zoe. Marco Zanini, formerly of Versace, was given the head creative position. Zanini’s fall collection did not get good reviews and he was pressured to quit. There were rumors that he disagreed with the board about the direction of the Halston line. The company then decided to adopt a team approach, resulting in the spring 2008 collection being created by an unnamed design group.
