00:00Pictures meant everything to Halston.

00:06Life is like a picture, he used to say.

00:09I'm Halston.

00:09My name is Halston.

00:10The most successful single individual in the history of American fashion.

00:15Ladies and gentlemen, Halston.

00:19His clothes danced with you.

00:22You were free inside your clothes.

00:25The simplicity was really needed, and it was all American.

00:28From an all-American boy.

00:32He came from nowhere.

00:34Were you the person who put the pillbox on Jackie Kennedy?

00:36Yes, I was.

00:37He really saw the future.

00:41His front row was the most glamorous in New York.

00:44He was the first to really bring in movie stars.

00:47Brilliant marketing.

00:49You're a devotee of Studio 54.

00:51It's good for everybody on every level of society.

00:54Halston was at the top of his game.

00:55Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

00:57A lot of those barriers just fell down.

01:01Is it tougher to get on top or to stay on top?

01:06He kept saying, I want to dress everybody in America.

01:09I am pleased to announce an association between Halston and J.C. Penney.

01:13Halston moved from class to mass.

01:16The reaction of the fashion world ranged from shock to outrage.

01:20I started getting all kinds of calls, cutting back on orders.

01:25Did Bergdorf Goodman drop your line because you went to Penney's?

01:29That was pure hell after that.

01:30One time I came in and I think he had a panic session.

01:36He was screaming, yelling at the top of his lungs.

01:39He was out of control.

01:41Suddenly he was cast adrift.

01:43I said, you don't own your name, pal.

01:45We own your name.

01:46It was his company, his workers, everything he was fighting for.

01:52The success fund.

01:54Oh sure, it's fun and it's not fun.

01:56And as my mother says, it's the price you have to pay.
