On Friday 14 May, fashion fans will finally be treated to the long-awaited dramatisation of the life of revered American fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick, aka Halston.
The five-part Netflix series is the latest offering from TV powerhouse Ryan Murphy, whose credits include
Glee,
The Politician.
Famed for his craftsmanship and hedonistic lifestyle, Halston is often described as the man who changed the landscape of American fashion forever, whose circle of “Halsonettes”, as they were called, included 1960s It girls like Anjelica Huston, Bianca Jagger, Elsa Peretti and Liza Minelli.
The series stars Ewan McGregor as Halston, while his primary muses, Minelli Peretti (who was also his business partner), are played by Krysta Rodriguez and Rebecca Dayan, respectively.
