New Netflix biopic series Halston stars Ewan McGregor in the titular role of the Iowa-born designer who is credited with revolutionising American style in the 1970s and 1980s with his elegant aesthetic that mixed high-gloss glamour with pared-back minimalism.

The five-part production charts the meteoric rise and heartbreaking downfall of a true talent whose clothes transformed the landscape of fashion on a global scale and whose name is irrevocably linked to the decadence of the disco age.
