Halston

Documentary about the prodigiously talented American fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick, who reined over fashion in the 1970’s.

When the Wall Street era threatened his empire, he took the biggest gamble of his life and explored a mass market approach that offended some. A balanced and genuine portrayal of an extraordinary figure, which avoids sensationalism, incorporating intimate archival footage and interviews to present a poignant story of a man hungry to prove himself.

“It would be easy to paint him as a tragic figure but Tcheng’s film is more of a celebration than a lamentation, saluting a superstar designer whose life was a triumph of style and substance.” ~ Allan Hunter, Screen Daily.
