Summary
- Donna Karan is producing a new play about her friend Halston.

Fashion icon Donna Karan, largely out of the public eye since selling her brand in 2001, is making a notable return this summer. The 77-year-old designer is executive producing "Mister Halston," a new play centered on the life of her late friend, the flamboyant designer Halston.
The play, written by Raffaele Pacitti and directed by Michael Wilson, delves into the decadent decades of the 1970s and 1980s in New York, chronicling Halston's spectacular rise and fall. Karan expressed her enthusiasm for the project after seeing a workshop staging last summer.
"Mister Halston" is set to have its world premiere from June 2 to June 21 at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. This event marks a significant moment, bringing the story of the Studio 54 regular to the stage for the first time. Karan and Halston shared a significant connection, dating back to their meeting at the 1973 Battle of Versailles, a landmark fashion event.
