Roy Halston Frowick began his fashion career as a milliner - he designed the hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore to 1961's Presidential Inauguration. His move into womenswear, in the midst of the Studio 54 glamour-fuelled era, marked a crucial moment in fashion history, and Halston's distinctive clean lines and brand of easy elegance became a uniform of the jet set, including Bianca Jagger and Angelica Huston. In January 2008, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein teamed up with Jimmy Choo's Tamara Mellon to relaunch the label with ex-Versace designer Marco Zanini at the creative helm.
