Just Halston, or Something Else as Well

Some of you may know that Halston has always held particular sway over my mind when I think of "fashion" and style in particular- no, not the recent remake which was a farce from the very start.   Perhaps it is a subconscious memory of the 1970s, with Donna Summer running as the soundtrack to my mostly forgettable younger days.  A few weeks ago, I was looking through the Halston: An American Original book to refresh myself with some of the memorable images from his minimal collection and of course of Halston himself (who was the embodiment of the brand).  One of the photos which caught my eye was this cheerful one, and for a little time after that, I was trying to source a hat with the same amount of elan, which I did on a random visit to a rather large store:
