This channel deserves a Creator Award for excellence. Doris, your immense knowledge and passion for preserving fashion’s history is absolutely amazing. Thank you for your content, I never miss an episode!
What an amazing American designer!!! What a gem America had to have a designer at this level of artistry. A sad moment in time to loose so many creative men and women to AIDS/HIV! Thank you Doris for another history and lesson in fashion.
Now you're talking Doris. Love this one and episodes about designers. I was working at a upscale salon in S.F. in 1990 the year Halston passed. That same year I met a woman who told me she had been one of Halston's models when she was younger. She was a woman of color and certainly had the figure to be a runway model. I had no reason to doubt her. The week Halston passed she came into the salon wearing a pill box hat, she expressed great sadness about her guy. Also loved your jacket and congrats on your new trim self.
I have the video of the Battle of Versailles fashion show! Halston wanted to walk he was soo frustrated but Liza Minnelli calmed him when she sang and America knocked Paris to it's knees that year and American fashion was put on the map!!
What a fantastic thing to get point-in-time perspective and storytelling from Chris. Doris, you are a fantastic collector of fashion, history and people. If there is a way we can better promote your channel let us know, I'm surprised it hasn't taken off into the stratosphere yet! I think virtual interviews are also a fantastic format, it makes sessions more informal and personal.
Wow! This is a really insightful interview. I love the way it was conducted. Congratulations on your first Zoom interview/chat. I love your enthusiasm and the look in your face, Doris.
I’m a 65 year old male who, by the way, also attended Pratt Institute in the early 70s - and did my Menswear project in Ultrasuede. A fantastic fabric that I wish would make a re-appearance. Years after I left college, I purchased an off white Ultrasuede safari jacket - that I wore until I wore through the fabric. Love Halston. Love Ultrasuede!
I found out about the Halston name in the early 80's when my mum was hooked on his fragrance. It was HUGE!!! As a young artist at the time, I loved the design of the bottle. It still holds up today!
Thank you for an interesting and first hand account of the inner workings of Halston and the anecdotes of Battle of Versailles. Thank you too, Chris Royer for having the foresight to build a collection, an archive, if you will, of Halston couture. There is so much responsibility in maintaining a vintage couture collection. #halston #halstonforever #halstonettes
I watched the bio pic about him & when I say that man, Halston, was a visionary, he was just that. Cmon, he started making hats for Jackie O. He was destined for greatness from birth. Hell, his mother was his first muse at the age of 12‼️
Thank you Doris for this episode. Now, I know a bit more of Halston. A few years ago, suprising I purchased a Halston top at Goodwill. The black top is 3/4 sleeves with bow tie and repetitive taupe color H letters throughout the blouse.
I find it so interesting that of the B.O.V,., 4 on the french and 4 on the American sides became household known names. I wonder why Marc Bohan and Stephen Burrows never got the same exposure and longevity as all the other 8 did. It is so sad that we lost Halston so early. He had such a under appreciated hand in making the late 70's look the way they did. He moved the marketing of fashion into the 21st century. And one of the most innovative pattern makers i have ever seen! Thank you to all that help his legacy live to a new generation. he deserves a pretty solid place in fashion history imo. So FABULOUS he was!
Two fashion history treasures: Doris & Chris. Thank you so much for this insightful & delightful interview. Chris Royer has a great instagram account that highlights her & Halston's fabulous work.. really recommend it.
two fun fashions I remember from the late 60's were those "groovy" paper dresses fad and ultrasuede { I had a vest made out of it } ..I loved this interview and references to fabric
EVERYONE HIT PAUSE!!! This is how you age gracefully. No crazy slanted eyes insane implants and other nonsense that makes you look less and less like yourself. This woman is gorgeous!
Yet another FABULOUS video from you Doris! I’ve always loved the interviews where you were being interviewed but you’re such a marvelous interviewer yourself! From pacing, to thoughtful questions, to your overall demeanor, this was such a treat watching you interview such an important figure in fashion history!
This is worth pay per view. These two women just have us a PRICELESS chunk of content of the highest quality. This is in the the top 10 best pieces of content ever created. The substance and depth and the pieces! Unreal!!!!
Your comment is priceless. I have to say that I think oral histories are so important to keep the fire alive. Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to comment. Doris
I am amazed at how many designers are from Indiana. I love the Halston fragrance!! it is always unique and recognizable- and today's fragrances all have the same fruity/floral scent- nothing is unique anymore!!!!
I'm a little late to this party, but please let me say that I enjoyed every minute of it, Doris - as I always do! I was sorry it ended! I'm off to catch up on the second part of this and then your most recent video. Thank you The Way We Wore! From a big fan! ;)
I saw the documentary; it was wonderful! What an incredibly exciting and invigorating time (early 1970s) to have been in your 20s! You are such an inspiration Doris ♥
Loved this interview... thank you. I worked in store planning at I. Magnin in the late 70's early 80's and I remember the impact of ultra suede .....I bought a Bill Blass short 'jean' jacket in a toast color that I loved.....❤ I also bought some YSL on sale with my discount and also sewed copies of lots of YSL...it was such a fun time...... then I had children and life totally changed 😮...in a good way 😅
Ok..so I just realized after watching this all the way through I owned a glass dress couture I feel even worse for selling since I couldve passed it down..it was that wine/maroonish color in a low back with flower belt and low back cause it was a halter...thankyou for posting I think his style is the BEST so timeless...
I have been waiting for this vlog for quite some time. It is fascinating to hear it from someone who was there. Thank you, Doris, for interviewing Miss Royer. I could listen to her stories all day long. I look forward to more.
Doris!!! This is fabulous!! I loved this post. Thank you for making it happen and thanks to Chris Royer. She was amazing. Halston reigns as a Great! I only wish that I had been around to have met him and steeped in his excellnce.
Another great video, Doris. I was on EBay recently and perused the vintage Halston items for sale. Some are dated - giant shoulder pads á la Joan Collins and Linda Evans from “Dynasty,” but others are stunning classics that still turn heads today, and will 50 years from now. One of the listings looks like your guest wearing a beautiful, one-shoulder Grecian dress.
Wow. I had the honor of spending quite a bit of time with Liza a few years ago, and the one thing I never got around to asking her about was Halston and Versailles ...So Chris' memories are so good to hear- she is a treasure!
@@thewaywewore7371 My pleasure. I have the honor of being good friends with Daphne Guinness, who is said to have the largest private collection in the world as you may know....We often chat about these things as she is a walking encyclopedia of Couture. It is so nice to run into people with our same interests! Regards Bruce Sinclair...
I miss Daphne. Haven’t seen her in a while. Whenever she is in LA- she is totally consumed with her music and videos. Please extend my heartfelt regards to her if you can. She is a true gift to the planet. And a gorgeous one to boot! Thanks for your follow up reply Bruce. Be well.
Doris, 1st of all u look FABOO! 🙏….always am both enjoyed & informed by all ur vids…this 1 is soooo much fun! Can’t wait 4 part 2! Thank u 4 the beauty as usual 🌺
Miss Doris, You out did your own fab self with this one!! Thank you so much! If you dont already know how much we love and appreciate what you do, please know yes we most certainly do!! Love the back story concept!
What a wonderful story! I just love all your videos. This was so so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing and all your work that goes into your videos❤❤❤
This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this! Halston was such a creative genius and the integrity of his design style is still so relevant today. I can only imagine, if he lived longer, how his designs would've evolved over time. I think Halston's designs are more transcendent than Bill Blass's. This interview is wonderful.
Thank you for this must pay Netflix so I can watch the series first heard about him on sex and the city lol I love his not simple simplicity and love how clothes move he was such a one off knock out, Thank you love from UK xxxxxx
❤❤❤ I loved this one. Roy Halton had a way of highlighting the womanly form it was amazing. Listening and learning about the fabrics was very interesting. Loved this episode.
My beautiful grandmother had a wonderful royal blue Halston cape. She looked stunning in it and I wanted it when she passed. Unfortunately my uncle just boxed all her clothes up and donated them to Goodwill without telling anyone.
My very favorite dress that I owned was a beaded halston that I regretably sold:( it was a seamless silk with palettes in a waterfall pattern to the floor,,genius...
This channel deserves a Creator Award for excellence. Doris, your immense knowledge and passion for preserving fashion’s history is absolutely amazing. Thank you for your content, I never miss an episode!
I totally agree...
If they don't give Doris an award,
....then I'll make an Award and hand it to her!
Lovely!!!
What an amazing American designer!!! What a gem America had to have a designer at this level of artistry. A sad moment in time to loose so many creative men and women to AIDS/HIV! Thank you Doris for another history and lesson in fashion.
Halston's designs stand the test of time.
Julie: "Do you think I could borrow that little yellow outfit sometime?" Tootsie: "The HALSTON?? Oh no, you'd RUIN it!"
Now you're talking Doris. Love this one and episodes about designers. I was working at a upscale salon in S.F. in 1990 the year Halston passed.

The organizers weren't very gracious as Doris says but you're not any better lol.
Please do an episode on Norma Kamali

I love the timing of this video especially since I was hoping somebody would be wearing Halston or Bob Mackie @ the Met Gala this year.

how amazing is it to start off ones career like Royer. the situation with her job interview was unique
Story well told...I acquired my first Halston - 70's jersey wrap dress - earlier in the year. In fantastic condition!
This is so wonderful. Excellent job! 💗 Doris!
Doris you are everything......wow!

Very thoughtful and interesting questions. I see, for you, a furture of innterviews with various designers.

Just magnificent. I learned so much (and I thought I knew a lot about him) eagerly awaiting part 2. Stephen
I saw the documentary; it was wonderful! What an incredibly exciting and invigorating time (early 1970s) to have been in your 20s! You are such an inspiration Doris ♥
Shocked to not see more Halston designs at this year's Met, with the American Lexicon theme. Thanks for the timely video!!!!!
Loved Part 1 and cant wait for Part 2. My first business pant suit was a Halsted in a pale pinky peach color and I loved it!

LOVED THIS EPISODE!
Halston was the first designer I knew by name and style. Started my love affair with the American designers.
Great job, Doris.
I’m happy to know that someone is caring for those pieces. IMO he was a master because those simple yet technical pieces are unbelievable
First! (Love you Doris ☺️)
Really enjoyed this looking forward to pt 2 🙋♀️
Loved this!!!
That checked top you're wearing looks like it might be a Bonnie Cashin. It looks great!
