@@qwaxerty it actually does sound very american. Back in the forties and fifties Hollywood had this thing with thinking that the accent referred to as a Transatlantic American accent was the accent of choice to use in movies. Watch all the old movies and you can hear that American accent. They made their actors speak in that accent and anybody living the Posh lifestyle at time would affect that accent because due to Hollywood's influence it became like the accent to have if you were of any worth. Mostly by the mid to late 50s that accent was completely done away with. Hollywood no longer used it and most people no longer used it but Halston for some reason decided to continue keeping up that accent. Maybe he preferred it.
@@erinmalone2669 that she definitely has. There’s nobody quite like Liza, and I’m so glad to see her name out there again. She’s truly one of a kind and has always been such a true champion and ally of the LBGTQ community. I’m old enough to have been around during their heyday - I lost too many dear friends to that damn disease - and Liza was always right there in the thick of it. People seem to have forgotten that, which is so sad. She and Elizabeth Taylor both really worked so hard to try to help, to get funding for research, to teach others to NOT be so afraid - Princess Diana (bless her), gets a lot of praise for her work during the AIDS epidemic, as well she should…but long before Diana, there were those two incredible women, and they were absolute fucking heroes. It’s so sad that their hard work was kind of overshadowed by Princess Di, but they weren’t doing it for recognition - they did it for love and for all those they’d lost. I don’t think Liza has ever truly quite got over losing Halston. We should all be so lucky to have a friendship like theirs.
@@charlene.elovitzChannelYT the series is absolutely fun to watch, it depicts halston like an idiot coke head who gets dickmatized by his hispanic lover, causing his rise to quickly fall. Finished it in two days. Highly recommend it
IF I WAS HIS BEST FRIEND FOR SURE I WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE BUT...NETFLIX DID! I WAS BORN IN 88 AND I AM ASTONISHED ABOUT HOW PROMISCUOUS HE WAS, DRUGS AND SEX TOOK HIS LIFE AWAY FROM HIS FUTURE...!
He got the accent right. But the actual Holston comes across as less narcissistic than the character created by McGregor. I think Holston may have been slightly autistic, rather than a narcissist. I was fascinated by his love of being alone, and attraction to the ocean.
The casting of The Netflix Halston series was absolutely perfect, Ewan McGregor was Halston incredible job... even The Liza Minelli role was done with perfection..Ewan deserves the highest praise for this portrayal of the very talented Halston... it was a fabulous story with fabulous acting. . 👍👍👍👍
I’m here because of the Netflix series. I wanted to listen to Halston talk and see what he was like so I could determine whether Ewan McGregor did a good job. So far, I think he did (I’m on ep 3)
The orchid, the wall of sketches, the table in the office, I think netflix did a good job, and of course the portrayals of Halston by Ewan Mcgregor is amazing
I watched the Netflix series not knowing anything about Halston and was impressed by ewan mcgregor’s acting, but oh my god I am BLOWN AWAY by how well he nailed all the mannerisms as well as the accent and meter of his speech. What an incredible man he was.
I’m so glad this series happened on Netflix! He did not deserve toxic victor who in my opinion, somewhat broke him as well as the drugs. I’m here for this new generation to learn who Halston was. Bravo Ewan Mcgregor 👏🏼
I was hooked after the first 5 minutes of the Halston Netflix. My Dad used to wear the fragrance and I was very taken with the bottle. Ewan did a serious job, down to the way he moved, to the accent. Seriously incredible. Halston was a visionary in Fashion. Very forward. 👌😻
If you watch the documentary from 2019, you know Liza is the kind of friend one really wants in life. Halston was a genius. I wish he had never met Victor Hugo.
Glad I am old enough to have experienced the 70's. Halston ruled the fashion world in that decade. To own anything by Halston was a big deal. Halston's name was mentioned in songs, magazines, TV, movies. His perfume at one time was the second highest selling perfume in history, after Chanel No.5.
A friend told me that when Halston was dying in the late 80s he would come into the dept. store where he worked -he’d be wearing sunglasses and would shop and hang out and talk to everyone as if he weren’t a celebrity fashion icon.
A great loss. We lost him way too soon. Halston revolutionized not only fashion, but a new way of design thinking & living. What a legacy he left behind!
Just watched Halston on Netflix, I am 56 so was a kid when he was big!! However I new who he was, my mom had his perfume. Halston was so, so talented. He had his pride and so much confidence Even though he had a desperately sensitive side as well. He was a force to be recond with. He changed fashion to comfort. I felt sad he passed away from Aids. That part was just sad. The saddest part was he sold his name. He was brilliant However naive as a business person in the early days that hurt him so much in the coming years. He is a fascinating person.
We’ve lost Halston but Liza is still alive, and what an amazing talent she is. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves before it’s too late. I remember when Ellen Degeneres was hosting the Oscars she made a rude comment to Liza who was dressed in an awful blue pant suite (Halston wouldn’t have allowed her to wear that) it was a joke but I think Liza felt humiliated. I felt so sad for her. I hope she gets lots of love, she’s a true icon!
Agree about Ellen. Hosting the Oscars, she made a tasteless joke about mistaking Liza for a man (implying she looked like a drag queen). First, it's never funny to insult someone during a live broadcast (no opportunity to edit or re-shoot). If Liza were some kind of pompous, egotistical person she might deserve to be taken down a peg, but the opposite is true. You could tell by Liza's response that she was dispirited. Secondly, the tone deaf irony of the pot calling the kettle black. If anyone in the Dolby Theater was to be mistaken for a man, it would be Ellen herself.
I just love how he transformed american fashion... his minimalists designs, using only a beautiful piece of fabric that was tied in ingenious new ways created a new era for designers. He started the whole minimalist fashion thing.
Mr McGregor is a genius in portraying the way he talked. But the “real” Halston looks more awkward, calm and sort of sad to me than his onscreen persona. In the series the character seems snarkier and more like a diva.
off camera he probably was sarky.., hes is a bit of a artsy type and knows what he wanted and not to give in to "others" pressure... which made him snarky. nothing wring with that.. just dont take it the wrong way... now burn your comment...
@Emanuel Fernandez, Halston WAS a diva, he was arrogant, he was catty, he was definitely a design genius, and he knew it. As Bill Blass said about him in the early years, " Halston was full of himself, he singlehandedly created the world of "jet set" with his clients and celebrity friends. I don't think Halston ever felt or considered himself as awkward.
When Liza said in this interview that he supported her... it seemed the other way round in the series. It was a great show, but perhaps we missed more of his supportive side - as a friend, not just in making people look and feel fabulous in his art
Classy, fabulous, ahead of his time and talent, talent, talent. He was one of the first to break through the old way of doing things and set the template for multiple generations of designers to come. Hey mega influencer before anyone knew what one was, he was the definition of American fashion.
Great show on Netflix. He lived a fast and free life and it got scooped up by his past childhood traumas, poor relationship and bad decisions. However, he found peace towards the end.
I wouldn't really call it a free life because that misconception of freedom is making millions of people turning into drug addicts, mentally challenged and hiv positive, sex work victims, getting murdered... And the list goes on
I usually don't watch any series on Netflix in one day but this one "halston" is it. I finished it in a day. I love any series or movie set in new York . The tone the pace i feel like i was there in his childhood, the 1960's 1970's and 1980's. Its enriched with the fabric of many levels of fashion culture and the effect it has on people and struggling to keep selling themselves as a brand name. Ewan McGregor deserves an oscar. I wondered what halston sounded and acting like without seeing previous footage, i would believe ewan McGregor is halston from past and present.
I truly believe Halston and Liza are soulmates, not romantically because being soulmates doesn't have to be through a romantic bond, their relationship is so admirable.
oh, don't be so reductionist. She was fabulous and even self-satirising in Arrested Development. She had a difficult legacy from her mom and did a lot of work to try and sort herself out, more than once. Cut her some slack...
I listened to halston and ewan McGregor talk at the same time in the tv show to see how accurate the voice was and holy SHITT ewan did an AMAZING job at replicating his voice so perfectly
The actors did a fantastic job!! I forgot what Halston Z-14 cologne smelled like so I ordered a sample! I gave up cologne long ago but I remember loving that!
@@cindys5426 yay! Growing up back then he was a household name...then just faded away over time. Never knew all the details of his life or business due to the decade but that was fine...we didn’t need to know anything more than what we saw on the television. That is why this movie was so interesting...so many thing you never knew
@@TT-fl8jt oh my goodness, I forgot about that song…have not heard it in so long…went straight to watch video…I was too young to be in the disco but do remember those years fondly. I appreciate the music more now than I did back then since I was more of a rocker/punker but now that music reminds me of a time when only the truly talented singers/musicians made music
It's unfortunate the Halston brand has never been properly revived. The brand has had a few designers and plenty of owners since his death, but Halston has never reclaimed its spot among other notable names in fashion.
I think part of the problem is that they've changed hands too often - and they're so in thrall to his "looks" that they can't (I'm talking the fashion end) risk breaking out and being ground-breaking, like he was. Hampered by "taste":-/
I think you're right. Some of the revivals did fairly well for a time but none of them were able to maintain momentum. At one point Sarah Jessica Parker was a brand ambassador or creative director or something, which didn't make any sense at all. She's known for a flirty, eclectic style; not the sleek, pull-together Halston look.
I have been in to fashion all my life. I grew up shopping at Contempo judices etc. as I got older, and my career got bigger i was able to afford Macys than Nordstrom and up and I remember my favorita designers was Halston. I just now learned about his story; I love him more now. He had the same taste in clothes that I envisioned in my mind very minimalista but eye cashing. Mostly comfort.
I never even knew his name. Im in the uk, on Netflix Ewan WAS FANTASTIC i really felt the character and the voice!!! such a great film....very very good.
You can say a lot about this guy. His lifestyle, choice of partners, the excess of partying, drugs, booze, smoking, late nights, etc. For the videos I've seen when he's working, you can tell in his eyes that he's 100% professional and business minded towards womens fashion.
The accent was fake. But I see your point. Watch the halston documentary. One of his close friends said that he created that voice when he was among certain people.
I just finished watching the series and I bought a bottle of Halston 1-12 ...I already had the z14 ...wow...they are so special aromas! Both bottles are exactly the same, not branded. You must take the tap and smell each to choose which will you use today...I find that detail simply delightful.
I loved Halston in the 70s, but like a lot of fashion lovers, I was shocked when he signed the JC Penney's deal. I didn't understand how he didn't realize how badly this would fail. I know designers have done this successfully for decades, but that was such an awful fit. He was way too prestigious for a store like that.
@@1028dianemariemaybe they are all doing it. But JC penny wss the bottom of the barrel . Update all those designers who " did it" have now lost their cachet, their mystique - calvin klein. Michael kors, polo, tommy hilfiger, Coach

I loved Halston. I loved the chick/casual looks he created. I loved his Halston perfume which I use still today.
Right! Ewan, killed that roll I can’t imagine! I really enjoyed the series I new nothing about Halston. My Muttie had is perfume and to this day I can smell that a mile away!!
I'm here because I wanted to compare the real McCoy to the Netflix portrayal and Ewan McGregor better get an Emmy nomination for how close he got to the essence of Halston (man, he's a Scot even). It's touching to see how close he and Liza M. were. Halston was sort of an unsung icon though he had his personal demons (isn't this how it usually goes with creative geniuses though)?
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Ewan McGregor totally captured Halston's voice and expressions, his mannerisms. So incredible!! I love the show!!
Ewan wasn't as nasal as the original.
I guess it was easier for Ewan because he is Scottish, and Halston's voice doesn't sound American

Everyone should have a friend like Liza. Till this day she speaks of him with so much love. She would never speak anything negative.
I noticed that too. So deeply loyal, was lovely to see
To this day I fucking love Liza she has been troubled and fabulous and just ceaselessly herself

Omg they talk the same !!!
The real Halston was taller, more handsome and charismatic

Thank you Halston for your artistry & democratic spirit!
I really find his honesty endearing. I don’t think most artists like to admit their flaws or business troubles.

Dying tends to do that for some people.
He shouldve taken a snap of it
Ewan McGregor knocked it out of the park.
I loved Halston on NF. I wish they could have stretched it to have at least a 2nd season.
Yeah, definitively!!! I thought it was a bit rushed...

They were portrayed as such great friends in the series. The best of friends and it's nice to see that friendship was in fact very real!
They wore the clothes the clothes didn't wear them. This is how I like to dress and now I have the words for it!
Halston was an artist. One of kind. And Liza is always phenomenal.
Fashion one of my favorite subjects, very nice interview, Halston incredible talented, unique and special.
He is from Indiana, so with his vocal inflections, he's doing an imitation of Lauren Bacall mixed with Katharine Hepburn.
I was wondering about that. I think you nailed it! 🌹
With a slight touch of Carol Channing and Thurston Howell III
There is some Tallulah Bankhead in the mix too! He even sounds like he's about to say, "Dhaaa-ling" at any given moment.
He had the “mid-Atlantic” accent that was used in movies during the 1940’s (Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn).
@@juanmanuelpena5319 Well, Cary Grant (real name: Archibald Leach) was British/Welsh, so his accent was 100% real. But he did tone his accent down.

I grew up shopping at Contempo judices etc. as I got older, and my career got bigger i was able to afford Macys than Nordstrom and up and I remember my favorita designers was Halston. I just now learned about his story; I love him more now. He had the same taste in clothes that I envisioned in my mind very minimalista but eye cashing. Mostly comfort.
My goodness is that joe , elsa & the store manager lady 1:03 the cast on Netflix is literally spot on 👌🏾 almost thought that was them crazy
Wow! Superb casting.
me after watching the show searching "who is halston based on?" lol some shows just makes you want to know more i love it
Ewan McGregor you did a phenomenal job portraying Halston
Love both Halston and Liza!♥️♥️👏👏👍👍
One of the best of all time
LIZA a dedicated FRIEND we all need.
This is the first time I've seen and heard him, I watched the Netflix documentary and i now think Ewan McGregor did a great job!
Came here after watching Halston on netflix… Ewan Mcgregor did an awesome job!
HALSTON was a game changer🇺🇸
McGregor's work was oustanding by portraying such iconic character. I'm not a fan of fashion designers but his performance was priceless.
what a genius.... he lived 20 lifetimes. What a forever icon.
I never even knew his name. Im in the uk, on Netflix Ewan WAS FANTASTIC i really felt the character and the voice!!! such a great film....very very good.
Ewan KILLED IT!!❤❤
He was fabulous. He made his mom hats to make her happy. How many guys do that?????
Learning he had an abusive father broke my heart. What a genuinely good person he was to comfort his mother the way he did.
Omg Evan McGregor sounds exactly like him in the series
You can say a lot about this guy. His lifestyle, choice of partners, the excess of partying, drugs, booze, smoking, late nights, etc. For the videos I've seen when he's working, you can tell in his eyes that he's 100% professional and business minded towards womens fashion.
The actor portraying Liza Minnelli did. a Great Job
Man I'm impressed by how Ewan Mcgregor nailed Halston's accent
The accent was fake. But I see your point. Watch the halston documentary. One of his close friends said that he created that voice when he was among certain people.
Who’s here from Netflix 😂♥️
Halston was around before Netflix.
Halston was pure American class🇺🇸♥️
I just finished watching the series and I bought a bottle of Halston 1-12 ...I already had the z14 ...wow...they are so special aromas! Both bottles are exactly the same, not branded. You must take the tap and smell each to choose which will you use today...I find that detail simply delightful.
His clothing fits fabulously
Ewan was fantastic. I adored this series, but hope there's a continuation. Is it a limited series??
Really good thanks for your work
Just started watching the Netflix series. McGregor is quite good in his portrayal of Halston.
Thank you, ET.
Ewan and the whole cast was fantastic. I binge watched the series and will probably watch it again. It’s a travesty what happened to his brand.
I loved Halston in the 70s, but like a lot of fashion lovers, I was shocked when he signed the JC Penney's deal. I didn't understand how he didn't realize how badly this would fail. I know designers have done this successfully for decades, but that was such an awful fit. He was way too prestigious for a store like that.
And now they are all doing it. As a matter fact, if you don’t have a clothing line in a department store you’re not a big deal.
@@1028dianemariemaybe they are all doing it. But JC penny wss the bottom of the barrel . Update all those designers who " did it" have now lost their cachet, their mystique - calvin klein. Michael kors, polo, tommy hilfiger, Coach
I loved Halston. I loved the chick/casual looks he created. I loved his Halston perfume which I use still today.
Wow... he nailed him playing the part .... the voice the mannerisms...
Chusmeando después de ver la serie 🤣🤣🤣 Me encanto la actuación de Ewan , hasta copiaron igual su oficina 😱
I’m here because of Netflix too they did a good job even his office is just like this
Right! Ewan, killed that roll I can’t imagine! I really enjoyed the series I new nothing about Halston. My Muttie had is perfume and to this day I can smell that a mile away!!
Ewan Mc Gregor❤❤
Thank you for Halston
I'm here because I wanted to compare the real McCoy to the Netflix portrayal and Ewan McGregor better get an Emmy nomination for how close he got to the essence of Halston (man, he's a Scot even). It's touching to see how close he and Liza M. were. Halston was sort of an unsung icon though he had his personal demons (isn't this how it usually goes with creative geniuses though)?
that's not Lauren Bacall in the photo (along with his vo) it's Lauren Hutton
A real god of haute couture.... An American designer who could be compared to the great European ones... A natural...
