While working at Bergdorf Goodman, Halston designed the famous pill box hat for Jacqueline Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy wore the hat at her husband’s presidential inauguration in January 1961, making Halston a household name.
The Ultrasuede shirt dress was his trademark, which he introduced in 1972 and was one of the most popular dresses at the time. The Halston look was one that emphasized simplicity and minimal concepts.
Halston also designed clothing for women who did not have figures like models, such as a loose tunic and pants for plus-size women, princess styles to de-emphasize her hips, and caftans.
The list of uniforms he designed included signature styles for Avis car rental employees, Braniff flight attendants, athletic teams, and Girl Scout troop leaders. He also designed moderately priced clothing for J.C. Penney, being one of the first designers to explore product licensing.
Halston Spring/Summer Collection in 1978 resembled various geometric style shapes.
