Ewan McGregor as Halston

"Ewan loved this coat so much that I think he helped manifest it in white, and then later in red . . . he just felt more glamorous wearing it."

"The first time I tried Halston's double-faced wool trench coat on Ewan, he was obsessed with touching it because it was made of this really beautiful, black cashmere," San Juan recalled. "One of the things people who knew Halston personally told me was that he owned the best of the best in terms of fabrics, down to his shoes — he really only wore exquisite textiles. Through looking at pictures of him over the course of his life, I realised his silhouettes didn't change a lot, so I decided to remake that coat in white. He entered this period of his life where he started doing a lot of cocaine, skewing his palette more towards white, which felt so ultra disco. I played with little details in terms of length and time period to help age or de-age him. But Ewan loved this coat so much that I think he helped manifest it in white, and then later in red, because he loved working with it on camera and he just felt more glamorous wearing it."
