I've been listening to a lot of new disco and funk this past month. So it makes total sense that when I saw Halston Heritage's latest collection I fell pretty hard for it. (Casting fellow Canadian Alana Zimmer just adds insult to injury.) After all, the eponymous label is a celebration of the late designer who made his mark in America's discotheques during the 1970s.
But we've come a long way from the days of Diana Ross and Studio 54. Gone are the high waisted jumpsuits with ruffled flares. Halston's current design director Marie Mazelas has distilled the glitz into something far more intelligent, potent, and dare I say lethal.
