1971 Couture Runway Halston Jersey Dress & Coat designer-oscar-de-la-renta Fully lined in a redAn amazing and extremely rare set from Halston that is from the 1971 collection. Both pieces are done in a stunning purple silk jersey. The dress is made of a double layer of this fabric and the evening coat a single layer. One of Halston's signatures was how to construct pieces with the absolute minimal seaming and this is a stunning example of how he executed that ideal. The simplicity of the pieces do not disguise the absolute genius behind them.
