Halston: Mario Schwab's First Collection


Halston was revived in 2008 by a team of designers. The line was not dramatically different. However, Marios Schwab is now heading the house and things are different.

Schwab, based in London, began his own line in 2005 to great reviews. His clothes are sexy and modern, but still keep with the original Halston vision. But, we aren't all going to Studio 54 now.

The fall/winter 2010 collection featured fluidity and beautiful jewel tone colors. In fact, the program noted that "the luster and fluidity of mercury" was an inspiration to Schwab. Also, while many shows featured layer upon layer, Halston was simple and elegant.

Fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker is the creative directer for Halston Heritage, which will stick more closely to the Halston of yore. I think this will work out better than Lindsay Lohan's creative director position at Ungaro.
