It was morning again in america. Millions of men and women were going to work. And high up above the streets in his olympic tower, one of americas most celebrated selfmade men. The most successful single individual in the history of American Fashion. Ladies and gentlemen, halston. Was nowhere in sight. The question that all of new york was asking last night was whatever happened to halston . Its a story of high fashion and high finance as one of americas big names in fashion it was business as usual, you could say. They bought his name, sold off his lifes work for pennies on the dollar, and when that wasnt enough, well, they forced him out of his own office. Some will say he had it coming. But what he didnt see coming were the tapes. All 215 of them, erased as per the corporations order. Who am i . Just someone working in the archives, nobody important for our story, really. Sportswear, knits, broadcloth, mens wear. This is andy warhols portrait of me. You see, pictures meant everythin
