Netflix has released the first trailer for "Halston," an upcoming miniseries chronicling the story of the fashion icon of the same mononymous name.
Golden Globe winner Ewan McGregor plays the titular role and features Broadway actress Krysta Rodriguez as Liza Minnelli and Rory Culkin as Joel Schumacher.
"I have a vision," McGregor's Halston says in the trailer. "I'm going to change the face of American fashion."
Set to Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence," fans are then given a peek at a montage of Halston hard at work designing women's clothing.

"My wife thinks your a genius. I think that's dangerous," says a man sitting at a restaurant with Halston. "I think once you call yourself a genius you stop growing."
The trailer then sees the designer freefall into a chaotic life of drugs, sex and temper tantrums, leading someone to call him "out of control."
"Do you ever feel like everything you have can disappear in an instant?" Halston asks as the trailer ends.
Born Roy Halston Frowick, Halston was known for minimalistic designs that became massively popular in the 1970s. He's credited with revolutionizing American fashion.
