8/10 Rating for this five part miniseries starring Ewan McGregor as the real life American fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick, who rose to popularity in the 60s as a milliner, moving into couture women's wear in 1968. McGregor is wonderful as the flamboyant and eccentric Halston. His performance is something totally new and fresh for him. He brings grace, tragedy, and comedy to the role.
Halston's journey pulled me in more every episode with some thoughtful character exploration. His story is also the tale of the 70s and 80s. He was besties with Liza Minelli (who is also played perfectly) and part of the VIP crowd that helped make Studio 54 a success.
I highly recommend to anyone who likes character driven work or stories of fashion and high society.
