Gowns! Tantrums! Cocaine!
Take those three essential ingredients and mix them together with a splash of genius, a glug of emotional insecurity and a shot of betrayal. Voila! A heady fashion designer cocktail, served in the form of a miniseries biopic.
The designer in question is Roy Halston Frowick, known as Halston – just Halston.
With Ewan McGregor in the title role and prolific TV producer Ryan Murphy behind the scenes, Halston is the kind of attention-grabbing series which should loiter in Netflix s top 10 carousel – at least for a few days.
