Ewan McGregor Plays “Halston” in a New Netflix Limited Series Premiering May 14

Today, on what would’ve been the fashion icon’s Halston 89th birthday, the streaming service announced that the limited series starring Ewan McGregor as Halston will premiere on May 14.

Ewan McGregor stars as Indiana-born Roy Halston Frowick, whose minimalist cashmere and ultra-suede creations were synonymous with luxury, sex, status, and fame in the 1970s.

The designer, who died of AIDS complications in 1990 at the age of 57, was as famous for his hard-partying lifestyle and coterie of famous friends as for his fashions.
