The Success Story of a
"National Scholarship Competition"
Winner

KEVAN HALL
Biography

FIDM's Designer of Tomorrow (DOT) Winner
Heads World-Famous Fashion Brand

When Kevan Hall won FIDM's Designer of Tomorrow Scholarship Competition, it was merely his first step in a long line of fashion awards, public recognitions, press accolades, and international acclaim. Hall's early success was a prelude to a professional life as one of the nation's most gifted haute couture women's wear designers.

In 1982 Hall with his wife and business partner, Deborah, launched Kevan Hall Couture. He created "Modern Couture" day-to-evening collections that pleased retailers and clients alike. His line was showcased in fine department and specialty stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and I. Magnin. Seven years later he created a new label of less expensive sportswear, Kevan Hall Studio.

In February 1997 New York's 7th Avenue called upon him to redefine one of its most famous fashion houses…Halston. Hall left his home in California to assume the position of Halston Signature Collection designer where he played an integral part in the relaunching of the world-famous brand.
