Halston on Netflix review: Ewan McGregor 'brings tragic fashion genius to life'
Netflix limited series from executive producer Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story) which follows the eponymous fashion designer known, played here by Golden Globe-winning actor Ewan McGregor, and is based on the biography Simply Halston by journalist Steven Haines. Charting his rise from a rising star hat-maker in the 1960s to fashion titan in the 1970s to the self-destructive artist in the 1980s, Halston demonstrates how the designer executed his vision for women’s fashion but also became engulfed by his own media and cultural persona amid the hedonism of the Studio 54 era.
