COUTURE: Fashion designer Halston (A3) made a gala appearance here in 1978. . . . Halston jetted in from New York with six models for a black-tie affair to benefit the Newport Harbor Art Museum and to help launch his boutique at South Coast Plaza--Halston’s first west of Chicago. “It’s an area where women like nice things and can pay for them,” he remarked.
