It's been a while since a Netflix trailer has felt quite so impossible to remove your gaze from, and that's just the trailer, so you can expect seriously great things from new biography series Halston.

Never heard of Halston? Roy Halston Frowick was an internationally famous American fashion designer – the first of his kind, really – in the 1970s.

His designs were sleek, minimal, and featured high quality fabrics like cashmere. The clothes along with his own presence in the discotheque scene - think Studio 54 - with A-list friends like Andy Warhol meant he skyrocketed to fame. He sadly passed away after contracting HIV.

Halston's career was full of highs, but he was known for not knowing "when to stop", as shown in the trailer which you can watch below.

Netflix's new series will look at his life both in the fashion world and alone outside of it. Here's what you need to know.
