'SIMPLY HALSTON' SERIES
WITH EWAN MCGREGOR AS THE CELEBRITY FASHION DESIGNER
 |
| Legendary Television is producing |
HALSTON, working first as a milliner, rose to fame after designing
the pillbox hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband’s presidential
inauguration in 1961. He then segued to women’s wear with designs that
were deemed minimalist but sophisticated, glamorous but comfortable. His
celebrity clients included Anjelica Huston, Lauren Bacall, Margaux
Hemingway, Elizabeth Taylor, Bianca Jagger and Liza Minnelli.
Halston’s company went through various owners and was eventually
acquired by Revlon, with Halston gradually losing control. He died in
1990 at the age of 57 from AIDS related complications.

I must admit I've never heard about Halston. I only know the big names of italian fashion designers. Pity he died an untimely death!
ReplyDeleteThese people are usually creative and interesting, and so are the movies made about their life ,designs, and customers.
The actor chosen to play Halston looks very cute! I like his outfit, his hairstyle, and his smile.
I haven't either, but he was probably bought by Revlon before I came to this world :) My fave designer is actually from your part of the world - Elie Saab!
DeleteI love Ewan McGregor! Should be good!
ReplyDeletehe is ever so lovely, although, sometimes, too extreme liberal for my moderate liberal taste.
DeleteSounds like a sad story. But I do like Ewan :)
ReplyDeletewho doesn't? :)
DeleteSounds like a designer that I would like. I always go for simplistic and comfortable, but can also be dressed up a bit if need be.
ReplyDeleteI also go for simplistic, comfortable plus radiant :) I like to wear things and colours that give energy to the viewers, to radiate warmth and calmness like a lil' ember :)
DeleteAn interesting tale but not for me I'm afraid!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear it, Fran
