This lot includes five Halston pieces. 

In the early 1950s, while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Roy Halston Frowick (American, 1932-90) began a business designing and making women's hats. Halston gained a well-known clientele designing for the Chicago elite, including Peg Zwecker, a fashion editor for the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Daily News. Zwecker was an early supporter of Halston. Later Halston became the head milliner for the high-end New York City department store Bergdorf Goodman. His fame rose when he designed the pill-box hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore to the inauguration of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, in 1961. In the late 1960s, Halston made the transition to women's clothing, opening a boutique on Madison Avenue in New York, and started a ready-to-wear line eventually rising to international fame in the 1970s with countless licensing agreements.
