00:00Pictures meant everything to Halston.

00:03Life is like a picture, he used to say.

00:05I'm Halston. My name is Halston.

00:07The most successful single individual in the history of American fashion.

00:12Ladies and gentlemen, Halston.

00:16His clothes danced with you.

00:18You were free inside your clothes.

00:21The simplicity was really needed and it was all-American from an all-American boy.

00:27He came from nowhere.

00:30Were you the person who put the pillbox on Jackie Kennedy?

00:33Yes, I was.

00:34And he really saw the future.

00:38His front row was the most glamorous in New York.

00:40He was the first to really bring in movie stars.

00:43Brilliant marketing.

00:45You're a devotee of Studio 54.

00:47It's good for everybody on every level of society.

00:50Halston was at the top of his game.

00:52Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

00:54A lot of those barriers just fell down.

00:57Is it tougher to get on top or to stay on top?

01:02He kept saying, I want to dress everybody in America.

01:06I am pleased to announce an association between Halston and J.C. Penney.

01:10Halston moved from class to mass.

01:12The reaction of the fashion world ranged from shock to outrage.

01:16I started getting all kinds of calls, cutting back on orders.

01:21Did Bergdorf Goodman drop your line because you went to Penny's?

01:25That was pure hell after that.

01:27One time I came in and I think he had a panic session.

01:32He was screaming, yell at the top of his lungs.

01:35He was out of control.

01:37Suddenly he was cast adrift.

01:39I said, you don't own your name, pal.

01:41We own your name.

01:42It was his company, his workers, everything he was fighting for.

01:47Success fun.

01:50Oh sure, it's fun and it's not fun.

01:53And as my mother says, it's the price you have to pay.

01:55The price you have to pay.
