Actually to the contrary , the new Halston has been very successful in Europe and Asia , selfridges and net a porter sold out on most of the clothing . That was it ,Marco , didnt do the things what people associate with Halston , disco and movie star glamour , it was about minimalism with the updated dark ethos of 70s glamour but for today .

In case you missed our post from March,
Halston is now available at Selfridges, and according to those in-the-know, it is selling like hot cakes.
Vogue reports that since hitting the store floor last week, the label has had British fashion fans in a frenzy with one customer alone spending £4,500 on pieces from the pre-collection.
Halston made its return to the scene at New York Fashion Week earlier this year, which was quickly followed by a deal with
Net-a-porter.com to sell two of its runway pieces to the public. Within 45 minutes, the
online retailer's stock sold out completely.
"The instant response from our customers is a reflection of the quality and desirability of Halston," said Anne Pitcher, Selfridges buying and merchandising director.
So what exactly have London buyers got their eyes on? A pair of thigh-high suede boots, a floor-length wool jersey dress and gold chain necklaces.
