Rare 1970s Halston Glossy Black Sequin Skull Cap Cloche designer-geoffrey-beene What makes it remarkable areThese are so hard to find and this is a fine example. The Halston sequin cloche was a mainstay of the Studio 54 set. Bianca Jagger famously wore a red beret version but this one is the more fitted cap design. It is made of a stretch lurex knit upon which hundreds of glossy black sequins are fixed. It will stretch to fit most sizes and is a fabulous finish to any outfit. These are super hard to find so is a real little treasure. Excellent condition
