Halston on Netflix Review

Halston

Netflix

Halston, the 5 part limited series, is about Halston, the iconic American designer with Ewan McGregor playing the eponymous figure. Only 5 parts but each part is jam-packed from beginning to end covering the majority of Halston’s life.

If you, like me, weren’t buying high fashion in the early 80s you may not be familiar with him, but have heard his name being used in reference to vintage pieces. It’s a fascinating look at American fashion design (which, like wine, tends to be an uphill battle) and the balance between art and capitalism.

Since it’s created by Ryan Murphy and centered around fashion, with a splash of Studio 54 in there, the visuals are epic. Ewan McGregor is uh-mazing and I would be shocked if he doesn’t get an Emmy nomination from this.
