The capsule collection with the luxury Australian bridal loungewear brand marks Halston’s first collaboration under new Creative Director, Ken Downing

Halston, a division of Xcel Brands and one of the most iconic names in American fashion, today announced a collaboration with Australian luxury sleepwear brand, Homebodii. The 12-piece capsule collection will launch November 30 on Halston.com and with select Australian retailers, including David Jones. Homebodii x Halston marks the first collaboration for the Halston brand under its new Creative Director, Ken Downing.

“Halston x Homebodii is glamorous, fun, sexy and sophisticated, the ultimate in stylish sleepwear. Would you expect anything less from HALSTON!,” said Downing. “Collaborating with Ingrid was a dream because blurring the lines of conventional dressing is a hallmark of HALSTON. I’m obsessed with the Bianca cami, the Houston slip, and the Jerry palazzo pant which can be easily worn for a fabulous evening out, or an intimate night in.”

The collection epitomizes Homebodii’s effortless sensuality and evokes Halston’s disco-era allure. Homebodii founder and designer Ingrid Bonnor often takes inspiration from the striking natural beauty of the Gold Coast area’s miles long beaches, exotic flora and fauna, mountains, and rainforest. She built the brand on an ethos of effortless, wearable, pieces that compliment Australia’s idyllic lifestyle.

“We are thrilled to partner with a brand as renowned and glamorous as Halston,” Bonnor said. “This collection pays homage to Halston’s incredibly chic heritage while also taking inspiration from our spectacular seaside location. We had loads of fun imagining how the spectacular ‘Halstonettes’ might have worn some of the pieces from this collection.”

When Homebodii debuted its first collection of bridal robes in 2012, the brand quickly found an international fan base eager for its beautiful yet easy-to-wear pieces. In fact, Homebodii’s Farrah robe is the number one most pinned bridal robe on Pinterest, with over 2 million pins. The Halston x Homebodii collection will be available in sizes XXS – XXL and will retail from $89.95 for a long bias-cut slip to $189 for a fringe-sleeve robe.
