Produktbeschreibung
An intimate look at the Halstonettes-the women who inspired legendary fashion designer Halston. One of the greatest fashion designers of all time, Halston defined and dominated the 1970s. He was America's first fashion superstar, a groundbreaking craftsman and a pioneering businessman who also exuded glamour, wit and charm. More important than the million-dollar success and the movie-star status though was the powerhouse of incredible women that he surrounded himself with. Without them there would be no Halston. This is the untold story of those women. Power, Grit and Glamour: The Women Behind Halston highlights the entourage of models, often known as the "Halstonettes," who not only worked with, accompanied, and supported Halston at every turn, but were fiercely loyal and loved him deeply. Beginning with Eleanor Lambert, the 'Godmother of Fashion,' Tamara Sturtz-Filby charts the rise of Halston from every socialite's hatmaker to creating his own named label, introducing readers to the women who guided him every step of the way to fame and stardom. He had loyal friendships with Liza Minnelli and Elizabeth Taylor. His close confidantes were Elsa Peretti and Pat Ast, as well as models and actresses including Bianca Jagger, Marisa Berenson, Lauren Hutton and Margaux Hemingway. He had invaluable relationships with Vogue editors Diana Vreeland and Grace Mirabella, and a long-term collaboration with America's doyenne of dance, Martha Graham. These are just a few of the women Sturtz-Filby profiles. Power, Grit and Glamour is broken into three parts and features exclusive interviews and quotes from those who worked with and knew Halston, as well as fifteen color photographs that visually transport the reader into the world of 1970s fashion. Each and every one of these women played their part in the success that was Halston, and he was acutely aware that he would have been nothing without these women by his side. They were his muses, his inspiration, his soul mates, his audience, his devotees, his everything. This is the story of those women, without whom there would be no 'Halston'.
