May 18, 2021 Roy Halston Frowick, the fashion designer who worked with Jacqueline Kennedy and rolled with Andy Warhol—and is known by his self-eponymous brand, simply, “Halston”—comes to biopic life on Netflix in Halston. Ewan McGregor plays the titular icon in the cautionary downfall limited series, which follows Halston up until his untimely death in 1990. Along the way: sex, cocaine, the word “Halston” almost every minute, and the technicolor dance palette we’ve come to expect from a Ryan Murphy joint which, here, can only really be described as unironic chic. The series was apparently so bombastic that Halston’s family called the production “an inaccurate, fictionalized account,” though they didn’t go into details. Regardless of the specifics, however, Halston’s life of excess wasn’t all fiction. While viewers ought to take the Netflix series with a pinch of salt, there are some very real, dramatic, and tragic notes the series strikes.
Halston, a Ryan Murphy series tracing the pioneering designer's dizzying rise and tragic fall. Opening in Bergdorf Goodman's hat shop in 1961, the series follows Halston through formative professional experiences like the release of his breakthrough Ultrasuede shirtdress, the sensation he caused at the 1973 Battles of Versailles, and the expansion of his bespoke business into a multimillion dollar retail empire. Underscoring Halston's achievements was his hard-partying lifestyle at New York's storied Studio 54, where a combination of drugs, sex, and false friends left him increasingly volatile. Halston's troubled personal life would contribute to his eventual professional downfall, leading him to a much-maligned collaboration with JCPenney, and to a fatal business deal in which he sold off his most valuable asset: his name.
