Lipscomb University
Lipscomb University is home to one of the most comprehensive collections of famed designer Halston. The Fashion Week exhibition will feature watercolors from Halston’s studio, photographs of historical and aesthetic importance, media clips from the collection and a sampling of the garments that highlight some of Halston’s greatest work.
The Halston Collection was named after American fashion pioneer designer, Roy Frowick Halston, who rose to international fame in the 1970s, redefined American fashion by employing minimalism and clean lines into his work. He was most noted for his design of the pillbox hat, worn by Jackie Kennedy at President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural in 1962. Then, he expanded to a full fashion line in 1968 and within seven years became one of the top designers in the world.
