Victor Hugo (d. 1993): Halston’s Venezuelan-born boyfriend and a close friend of AW. He designed advertisements and dressed windows for Halston, and notoriously threw orgies in the designer’s apartment when he was away. Hugo arranged many of the sexual encounters captured in AW’s Sex Parts series of pornographic close-ups, bringing male prostitutes to the factory and to his home for AW to photograph. Halston commissioned AW to paint Hugo’s portrait in the late ’70s. Hugo died of aids.
