1990's does the 1490's in this absolutely gorgeous red wine velvet blouse and skirt set made with impeccable design, fabrication, and tailoring. Can be worn as a set or separates. The set is composed of a midi length skirt with a side slit and gathered waist, and striking long sleeve blouse. The blouse features a high neckline, structured mild puff shoulders with fitted fore arm including long velvet button-up cuffs, and a keyhole closure on the back of the neck. The blouse has a beautiful pointed hemline that adds to the luxurious reinterpreted renaissace-like quality of the piece. We envision the blouse also making a great piece of evening wear when paired with dark leather pants or jeans and tall boots.

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.
