A Conversation with Halston Costume Designer Jeriana San Juan

The FIDM Museum welcomes costume designer Jeriana San Juan for a live Q&A about her work on the new Netflix miniseries Halston, starring Ewan McGregor and produced by Ryan Murphy. San Juan meticulously recreated the world of the legendary 1970s fashion designer: from costuming his entourage of famous friends like Liza Minnelli and Elsa Peretti, to outfitting the raucous parties at his favorite haunt, Studio 54. Go behind-the-scenes as San Juan and her team replicate the famed 1973 Battle of Versailles, and learn how she worked closely with Ewan McGregor in his preparations for the role, guiding him through the design process from start to finish. Hosted by FIDM Museum Registrar Leigh Wishner, the conversation also touches on San Juan’s extensive career, including six seasons designing on Saturday Night Live, collaborating with Baz Luhrmann on the 1970s television series The Get Down, and transitioning to Broadway as the assistant designer for Legally Blonde, The Musical.
