Netflix Limited Series: HALSTON

“I have a vision. I’m going to change the face of American fashion… I’ve been an outsider my entire life until one day I stopped giving a flying fuck…” Ewan McGregor as Halston. It’s clear to see why the Halston family has issues over the Ryan Murphy produced Netflix series which premieres on May 14. The HALSTON Archives and Family released a statement, see below. And will that stop us from watching the Netflix series? Hell no!

Roy Halston Frowick, 1988

The HALSTON Archives and Family were not consulted on the upcoming Netflix series involving an inaccurate, fictionalized account of famed fashion designer, "Halston." The HALSTON Archives remains the only definitive and comprehensive source on the man and his legacy as the personally appointed custodian of his private papers and effects. 

The HALSTON Archives travels the world to bring the meticulous history and original design work of Halston to reputable venues with comprehensive exhibits and seminars. Following in the steps of Halston's generosity while living, his family will be adding an initiative to the HALSTON Archives that will partner with select non-profit organizations and institutions to establish fashion scholarships in Halston's name as a way to inspire and empower the next generation of American Fashion Designers.

In addition to this exciting resource, The HALSTON Archives will be launching a non-profit limited, self-sustaining and iconic product line based on original artwork that will fund the scholarship program and continuity of the Archives with the goal of ensuring the HALSTON legacy lives on in future generations of Fashion students.

HALSTON, starring Ewan McGregor, is the untold story of the meteoric rise and fall of the first American celebrity fashion designer.

4 Things Guys Can Do to Improve Their Fashion Style

If you want to improve your look and sense of style and dress better for work or casual occasions, there are several things that you can do to improve the pieces that you put together for outfits and seriously change up your look.

If you are struggling with deciding what to wear and often feel like something might be missing from the outfits that you choose, or the combinations you go for often don’t feel quite right, keep these tips in mind to boost your style and get the look that you want.

Opt for Quality

Sadly, cheap clothing just doesn’t cut it like high-quality does. And one of the best things about investing in good quality fashion pieces is that they are often versatile and last a long time, so you can continue wearing great outfits for even longer. Your wardrobe might be full of clothes, but if they are all cheap and ill-fitting, you’re not going to get the look that you want. Have a clear-out and consider getting some staple pieces from brands like Versace. These pieces of designer men’s clothing can be suitable for every occasion if paired correctly.

Donate Old Clothes

If you’re not feeling your style right now, your wardrobe probably needs a refresh. Maybe you are still walking around in clothing that was in fashion a decade ago but not that hot today. No matter how much you might like a certain piece of clothing, if it’s old, worn, and completely out of style today then you’re never going to feel as good in it as you’d like to. And, clearing out your wardrobe to donate anything you’re not going to wear to charity can be a great feeling.

Choose Versatile Items

When shopping for your new wardrobe, don’t just think about items that you like the look of on their own – consider your other items and outfits, and how they are all going to look together. When buying a new coat, for example, don’t just consider how it’ll look with the outfit that you are wearing right now to try it on, but how it’s going to look when paired with your other favorite outfit combinations.

Improve Your Confidence

Last but not least, a lack of confidence is one of the main things that holds a lot of guys back from dressing the way that they would like to and feeling good about themselves in the clothes that they choose. Taking steps to improve your self-confidence will enable you to choose stylish pieces without second-guessing it and will give you the boldness to just go for the outfits that you want to wear the most. When you are confident in yourself and your sense of style, you’ll find it easier to choose items of clothing that are going to be a perfect fit for you and you know that you are going to enjoy wearing.

If you want to upgrade your style and feel better in the outfits that you choose, keep these fashion tips in mind when upgrading your wardrobe and making new fashion choices.
