Important 1977 Halston Couture Navy Multi-Way Silk Jersey Plunge Dress w Extra Long Ties designer-philip-treacy Each button is hand coveredThe twin of this dress in a red colour is held in the permanent archives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and that red version was exhibited in the 'The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion' Exhibit in 2009. The dress also has the added provenance of being the twin to the metallic version that Halston custom made for Bianca Jagger. I have included several photos of her for reference. Photos of her in the dress also appear in two of my Halston books and
