INCREDIBLE! We love this flashy dress and jacket set by Bill Blass! The ensemble includes a gold, brown, and silver fully sequined cocktail dress with a moddish knee - length A - line silhouette that includes a high jewel neckline and short sleeves. The jacket is knee - length as well, with long sleeves, a round neckline, and a straight - down - the - middle closure in front. The exterior of the jacket is plush, marled grey wool, the interior is lines in the same brilliant sequin fabric as the dress. This unconventional set is fantastic, and can be worn together or separately, with each garment as a fantastic statement piece!

Roy Halston Frowick was born on 1932 in Des Moines, Iowa. He initially took inspiration to sew from his grandmother. He would create hats for his mother and alter clothing for his sisters. His foundation in fashion progressed in his teen years as he attended Indiana University for a short spell and then The Art Institute of Chicago while earning funds through creating windows displays. Hat making would be his first love and in 1957 opened his first shop. While he had a small but important following, it wasn’t until Jacqueline Kennedy wore her famous (Halston) Pillbox hat in ‘61 that he became an instant success. He rode the wave of fame and fortune for a while but once hats started to go out of fashion, so did Halston’s sales. Halston’s low point would prove to be a test for what was next in his life. After much experimentation, a failed collection, and the help of his well curated team, he developed the minimalist yet irresistible look we all know and love! He was a true creator of culture during his time. Halston’s work was revered within the studio 54 crowd, worn by all the “It Girls” and on the cover of popular magazines.
