The Museum at FIT does not typically “style” its mannequins, meaning that garments are only combined or accessorized as the designer intended them. In this instance, the donor noted that Halston himself paired his evening gown with a Thea Porter jacket — and that the ensemble was originally worn by style icon Jane Holzer.
