Fame and luxury in one series! In 5 episodes of 45 to 50 minutes, “Halston” follows the story of Roy Halston Frowick. This name may mean something to you and that’s normal. He is, in fact, a fashion icon in the 70s. The Netflix TV show therefore mainly focuses on the transformation of his name into an international multi-million dollar brand. It also depicts the life of this creator full of excess. A project that pleases the public as shown by the 80% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. In France, it also gets a good rating: 3.9/5 on AlloCiné. Despite some mixed reviews, Halston is applauded by Ewan McGregor’s performance. The latter is particularly known for having played in Star Wars and his interpretation is described as being “flamboyant” and “breathtaking”. We can also find Bill Pullman (Independence Day) and French actress Rebecca Dayan (H.) who play David Mahoney and Elsa Peretti respectively. On the production side, fans can rediscover the work of Ryan Murphy (Dahmer, American Horror Story).
