Halstonon Netflix does give us some pretty lurid details of the designer's cocaine use, most notably in a scene in which his phone stops working because of the amount of the drug dropped into it from his nostrils. The real Halston was reportedly pretty ostentatious about his drug habit. Per André Leon Talley's autobiography, instead of serving dess...
Later in life, sunglasses became a regular feature of Halston's wardrobe, with the designer snapped wearing them even in dark rooms at night. On the surface, this may seem like a typical cool affectation of the 1970s and 1980s, but per his biographer Steven Gaines, it had an ulterior motive. With the designer making his way through a daily diet of ...
Halston spends surprisingly little of its five episodes dedicated to Studio 54, New York's most legendary disco-era nightclub. Though we do get glimpses of legendary real-life moments like Bianca Jagger arriving on a horse and someone dying in the air vents, we do not get any glimpse of Halston's top-secret drag party. Per Simply Halston, the book ...
The show details the tumultuous relationship between Halston and his Venezuelan sex worker-turned-window dresser partner Victor Hugo. What it does not mention, however, is how he got his name. Rather than being a tribute to the French novelist behind Les Miserables, it is instead a reference to his "huge-o" penis, which was also the subject of a nu...
One of the troubles that Hugo and Halston had was their difference in class, with the latter used to spending time among New York's most rarefied people and the former more at home with the cities' hustlers. In Interview magazine scribe Bob Colacello's autobiography Holy Terror, he writes how Hugo would embarrass Halston by appearing at a party in ...
Halston shows the two creative powerhouses slowly falling out as Peretti begins to find success for herself as a jewellery designer for Tiffanys. Per Warhol's Exposuresbook, however, there was a much more dramatic incident that broke the pair's friendship up. Describing a night at Halston's house, Warhol writes, "The only one that's not there now i...
Per Colacello, however, the most dramatic moment in their fallout came three months later. In the basement of Studio 54, the pair had a confrontation after not speaking since the fire incident in which she said to him, "I am not going to be thrown out of a basement by a f****t queen like you! You're nothing but a no-culture cheap fa****t dressmaker...
The Netflix show details a New York art and fashion world where gay and straight people lived together in harmony. The wider world at that time, however, was much more homophobic. In the 2019 documentary Halston, for example, the designer's first assistant Tom Fallon talks about the two of them going to a dinner party where two straight men refused...
One thing that may have surprised viewers of the Netflix show is how prominent a role is played by Joel Schumacher. Though he would go on to become a director on films like Batman and Robin and The Lost Boys, one of his first jobs saw him work for the designer. Compared to the later stories of Halston's drug-fuelled antics, Schumacher paints a port...
Hugo was not the only male sex worker that Halston spent time with. Per Simply Halston, he was such a prodigious user of call boys that his habit had a name among his friends— "dial-a-steak, dial-a-d***," due to the fact he would order dinner at the same time. Later in his career, he would develop a fetish for Black men. Per prostitute Robert Roger...
