We’re in a classic Halston, a.k.a 1970s, aesthetic. Maxi dresses are everywhere.

The long, languid look rules in fabrics that are flowy. And jumpsuits are rearing for a comeback. Good thing, then, that Harvey Weinstein and Tamara Mellon’s new Halston played it safe and stuck to what that label used to do best.

Set at the Museum of Modern Art, tableaus were created to suggest Roy Halston’s townhouse, which was designed by architect Paul Rudolph in 1967. Models lazed on sofas and draped themselves off chairs. There may have been one or two that were even standing. It was a particular way to show a fashion collection, but it did the job. The clothes, too, kind of lazed on the models, hanging loosely off shoulders. It was the colors that brought this collection into the modern day — with tangerines, purples, sapphire blue, cherry red and peony pink.

Perhaps this buys the powers behind Halston another season to get in gear with a designer. Let’s hope they realize it.
