21 Celebrities Who Give Iowa A Good Name
17. Halston
The iconic clothing designer of the 1970’s made a breakthrough with his sexy yet elegant dresses which became a staple in American discos back in the days when discos were still a thing. Like many other on this list, he was also born in Des Moines, Iowa, to parents of Norwegian origin. Halston was originally given the name Roy Halston Frowick, but he dropped his first and last names, preferring the moniker. He enjoyed altering and making clothes for his mother and sister as a boy, and he later studied at Indiana University and then at the Art Institute of Chicago.
His hat designs brought the fantastic to whimsy since he used all manners of jewels, flowers, and fringe imaginable to decorate his work. In a very short time, he was hired to serve as the head milliner for Bergdorf Goodman, and soon after had some of the most well-known women in the world as his clients, including Rita Hayworth, Liza Minnelli, Marlene Dietrich, and Diana Vreeland.
