Exclusive: Hear 'Halston' producer NedMartel, StephanMoccio on the latest episode of Ben Arthur's (MyHeart) 'SongWriter' podcast (SnogWriter):
starring Ewan McGregor. Halston’s story is at once inspiring—a gay man in 1970s America who rose from obscurity to build a fashion empire that was valued at a billion dollars—and heartbreaking. Ned Martel, a producer of the show, says this combination is the key to making compelling television.
“The saddest part of our story is to have the audience watch the character struggle with drugs, and ultimately the plague that so many of his generation succumbed to,” says Martel. “That’s part of the drama, and part of the tragedy.” Halston got his first big break when he designed a distinctive pill box hat for Jacqueline Kennedy to wear at her husband’s inauguration. From here the designer pivoted into women’s fashion, dressing Liza Minelli, Lauren Bacall, Greta Garbo, Anjelica Huston and Elizabeth Taylor. Eventually Halston’s brand covered a vast swath of American consumer goods: women and men’s fashion, luggage, carpets, and even the uniforms on Braniff airlines.
“I know how Halston ended up where he ended up, and how he ended up that way, as well,” Moccio says. “It’s very simple.” Like Halston, Moccio found success at a young age. While on a songwriting trip to Los Angeles from his native Canada, he wrote “Wrecking Ball” with Sacha Skarbek and MoZella. By the time he moved to L.A. a few months later, it was a worldwide number one smash.The flood of career opportunities that inundated Moccio were appreciated, but overwhelming, and he soon found himself overextended and uninspired.
