Halston participated in the famous WWD-dubbed “Battle of Versailles” in 1973, where he joined fellow American designers Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein and Stephen Burrows to show their designs against five French designers — Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro and Marc Bohan — in a fashion showdown meant to raise funds for the restoration of the palace at Versailles. Halston showcased his sportswear designs on several of his famous model friends, including Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson and Alva Chinn.The fascinating blend of these scents may seem complicated and dissonant at first, but it gives the Halston perfume a complex and unique fragrance pattern that evolves over time. Braniff chairman Harding Lawrence, his wife Mary Wells Lawrence, First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, and Halston himself along with his Halstonettes were in attendance for the grand presentation. Halston and his entourage would arrive at selected points during the party in outfits that matched the deep tones of Braniff Airways' new color schemes that would be applied to their aircraft as part of the new so-called Elegance Campaign. The party and the Halston creations were a hit not only with the fashion press but also with Braniff employees, who thought they were the easiest and most comfortable uniforms they had ever worn.
