The astounding career and chequered business history of the American design genius who revolutionised fashion in the 1970s are recalled in this fittingly epic new documentary from the director of Dior and I.
In the year’s most spectacular fashion documentary, writer-director Frédéric Tcheng (Dior and I, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel) applies his discriminating enthusiast’s eye to the rise and fall of American fashion legend Roy Halston Frowick. Halston, who as a milliner at Bergdorf Goodman gave Jackie Kennedy her signature pillbox hat, eschewed the countercultural flamboyance of the 1960s to establish a simpler, more dashing look that made New York the epicentre of women’s fashion into the 1980s. “His clothes danced with you,” said Liza Minnelli.
Tickets are available online through Ticketek, from the front desk at MTG or the box office at the Napier Municipal Theatre. Door sales will also be available at the MTG Century Theatre one hour prior to the screening.
Rating: Exempt.
