WOW. A knock-out! Bluttal has cumulated a splendid chronicle of the career of America's definitive fashion star, Roy Frowick Halston.

The book gathers and presents the photographic richness that you must have to know why Halston mattered and continues to. The sequence, arrangement, and ingenious categories all articulate the Halston passion for pure color, form and line that made him legend and attracted the star-studded clientele and the trademarking of his family name as a label still very much in evidence today, a decade after his death.

Wistful nostalgia over the Studio 54 years and the innocence of New York in those years are the only drawback of paging through this tome.

BRAVO BLUTTAL! Your fat fat fashion clutch should be on every gift list - the best fashion bargain of the year!!

The book is great if you are just looking for a collection of Halstons's fashion photos. There are really great shots of the clothes, and a lot of the glamorous people that wore them. The book, however, is a really strange size. It's really small, but really thick (6" by 4",and about 3 inches thick). I was anticipating a coffee table type book, but this is too odd of a size to display lying on a table. The text was a bit random and sparse, and the type identifying the photos was difficult to read on several pages. I liked it overall, but it will end up on shelf and I probably won't pick it up very often.

The only thing I object to ,is trying to contain HALSTON to a 5 x 7 inch format .Whos idea was that ? The man was large ,the times were large and then This Book is small! RE DO IT ,About the size of interview magazine ,POO POO on the Size
