The second floor was transformed to the Halston exhibit, “Silver and Suede” with stunning couture gowns, cosmetics, couture hats, and an array of Halston Shoes. Many guests reminisced about owning some of the displayed items, including an Ultra Suede Dress circa 1980 and a Satin Strapless Sarong Gown.
