Netflix recently released its latest original miniseries, titled “Halston”.
Produced by the prolific mind of Ryan Murphy, in collaboration with Ian Brennan and Christine Vachon, as well as the creation of Sherr White, all five episodes were inspired by Steven Gaines’ non-fiction book “ Simply Halston ” and have shed light on the controversial and complex life of designer Roy Halston Frowick and how he changed the US fashion scene between 1970 and 1980, from the popularization of the pillbox hat to ultra-suede trench jackets.
Despite the lopsided storyline, the series is, without a doubt, a lesson in the fashion industry – and even brings a dramatized and engaging version of the iconic Battle of Versailles. And, for those who like to study the importance of fashion iconography, “Halston” is a full plate.
Come to think of it, CinePOP has separated a brief list of five other productions that speak to the theme, from the classic “Cinderella in Paris” to the famous reality show “Queer Eye” (The Next Generation).

When you think of fashion, “ The Devil Wears Prada ” is probably the first song that comes to mind – and it’s for no reason: in New York City, at the headquarters of Runway magazine, the narrative is centered on Andrea (Anne Hathaway), a recently graduated journalist with no sense of style who begins working for demonic fashion guru Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). In addition to the fun narrative, the film is an ode to high fashion and has some of the finest costumes in Hollywood history.
