Michael Halpern is London-based designer whose eponymous brand Halpern is synonymous with uncashed glamour, reimagined embellishment and sense of hyper-felinity with a nod to classical couture. Inspired by his mother's stories of New York City nightlife in the '70s, each collection is defined by metallic fabrics, glittering embellishments and exaggerated silhouettes that would have fit right in at Studio 54.
