Roy Halston Frowick (April 23, 1932 – March 26, 1990), known mononymously as Halston, was an American fashion designer. His minimalist, fluid designs helped define the look of 1970s American style. Halston was known for creating a relaxed urban lifestyle for women.
In the early 1950s, while studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Halston launched a small business designing and crafting women's hats. His work quickly attracted a distinguished clientele, leading him to open a boutique on Chicago's Magnificent Mile in 1957. He later moved to New York, where he became head milliner at the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman. His national profile soared after he created the pillbox hat worn by Jacqueline Kennedy at the presidential inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961.
By the late 1960s, Halston shifted his focus to women's fashion, opening a Madison Avenue boutique and establishing a ready-to-wear line that became synonymous with modern American glamour. Halston's designs—often crafted from luxurious fabrics such as cashmere and ultrasuede—emerged as a defining feature of 1970s fashion, particularly in the era's vibrant discotheques. However, several ill-advised business decisions in the following decade led to his eventual loss of control over the Halston brand. He died in 1990 at age 57 from AIDS-related cancer.

Wall Street gave scant attention to the stock market yesterday, being engrossed in the Senate Banking Committee's continued effort in Washington to learn the inside story of various speculative operations. The volume of trading on the Stock Exchange was 470,970 shares, the slowest Saturday business since Feb. 27.

While the Senate Banking and Currency Committee was listening yesterday to the entertaining testimony of two well-known market operators, stocks resumed the decline on a broad front but in slow trading. The general list reached new lows, if the averages may be used as an index.

Wireless to THE NEW YORK TIMES
PARIS, April 23 -- The Bourse closed the week with a large portion of the list showing substantial losses from last week's prices. Today's session was irregular, with the closing, in most cases, on the day's lows. Renewed weakness in Wall Street yesterday together with uncertainty concerning the Prussian elections afforded a basis of operations by bearish speculators who took full advantage of the situation.
