#HALSTON LIZA MINELLI SERIES#

Ewan McGregor underwent intense fashion training to play designer Halston in the new Netflix series “Halston.” ATSUSHI NISHIJIMA/NETFLIX Halston came from Des Moines, Iowa, where he led a typical Depression-era childhood, playing soapbox derby races, fishing and the like. Liza grew up amid Hollywood royalty, the daughter of superstar Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli. On the surface they seemed an unlikely pair. “He was also a very clever fellow who loved his friends and could be really supportive and wise.” It wasn’t just that he was a great fashion designer who could make the unconventional Minnelli look fabulous, Gaines, author of “Simply Halston,” added. “He benefited greatly from her starlight, but he also just loved Liza.” “Halston understood Liza in a way that nobody else had,” Halston biographer Steven Gaines told The Post. How Ewan McGregor learned to sew, drape and pin to play Halston And he really did have an intense creative connection with his friends and muses, particularly with Minnelli. But the designer really did coax sinuous, glamorous gowns out of a piece of cloth, like magic. In real life, Minnelli’s godmother, Kay Thompson (author of the “Eloise” books), introduced the Broadway singer to Halston - who was already an established couturier - at his boutique in the early 1970s. “And it just came out of a single bolt of fabric and a couple pins!” Ewan McGregor and Krysta Rodriguez (left) play real-life besties Halston and Liza Minnelli (right) in the new Netflix series “Halston.” Netflix (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) “Ewan went through intense training to figure out how the draping process works, and it resulted in the best dress that I’ve ever seen on my body,” Rodriguez said. With a few elegant movements, Halston - who hasn’t yet established his own label or even style signature at this point - transforms from society hat maker to creative fashion genius, and Liza from a still-scrappy Broadway singer to bona fide star. “Halston and Liza meet each other, and he just starts draping fabric on her body,” Rodriguez told Vogue about the scene. There’s plenty of sex and drugs and fashion, yet the most electrifying sequence in the show (out Friday) comes when Halston ( Ewan McGregor) offers to dress his new acquaintance, Liza Minnelli (Krysta Rodriguez). “Halston” - the new five-part Netflix series from “American Horror Story” producer Ryan Murphy - charts the spectacular rise and fall of the disco-era designer, born Roy Halston Frowick. ‘Cheer’ star Cassadee Dunlap’s dad shot, in ‘critical condition’ Surviving son of ‘doomsday mom’ Lori Vallow blasts her in new Netflix documentary, ‘It’s not human’ See Evan Peters morph into Jeffrey Dahmer in chilling trailer ‘Monster’
