Halston on Horseback

Liza wasn't there, and Bianca wasn't either. But just about everybody else came to Halston's legendary town house in New York when Interior Design hosted a party there for Le Crin. The jam-packed evening launched this French manufacturer's latest horsehair fabrics, tiebacks, and window coverings by Rolf Sachs—his father, photographer Gunter Sachs, now owns the Paul Rudolph house.
