Halston

From Iowa to Studio 54, this investigation into the rags-to-riches story of America’s first superstar designer uncovers the cautionary tale of an artist who sold his name to Wall Street. The film tells the story of Roy Halston Frowick, one of America's most prominent fashion designers, and his rise from humble beginnings at Bergdorf Goodman to a household name in the 1970s. As he built his empire, Halston became notorious for his lavish lifestyle and erratic behavior, ultimately leading to his downfall in the early 1980s. The film chronicles his tragic story, marked by a devastating diagnosis with HIV that cut short his life just two years later.
