Gallery Labels
After a visit to Japan in 1980, Halston sought out the Japanese textile designer Reiko Sudo (b. 1953) for collaboration. Sudo’s hand-painted designs soon replaced the perennially popular tie-dyed prints that were characteristic of Halston’s collections. Taking its inspiration from organic forms and nature, the original cloud print for this dress was hand-painted on silk by Sudo and later reprinted. Iridescent clear sequins cover the entire surface of the dress, giving it a subtle luster and sheen.
