Sarah Jessica Parker in Talks for Halston Gig

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Rumors

Carrie Bradshaw Sarah Jessica Parker is rumored to be in line for a consulting job with Halston. The Sex and the City actress - who is often regarded as one of the most stylish women of her generation - is believed to be in talks about working with the coveted US fashion range as either the “creative director” or “design director.”

E! Online reported: “We hear that the Sex and the City fashion icon may end up with a much bigger role at the revived design house. A source tells us that Parker may actually land some sort of consulting gig with Halston. Titles being bantered about include creative director and design director.”

Last September, the website claimed Sarah - who was pictured on the set of the Sex and the City sequel wearing a white dress from the Halston Heritage Spring 2010 collection - was in talks over a major endorsement deal with the coveted label.

Another source added, “There’s quite a lot of vintage Halston in the movie.”

Sarah released her own line Bitten in 2007 and has had great success with her range of perfumes.

Marios Schwab on pressures of being Halston Creative Director

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News

Marios Schwab says becoming creative director of Halston is a “huge challenge”. The designer was announced as the newest addition to the label earlier this week, and revealed he is thrilled to be joining the firm.

He said: “Of course I feel the pressure. It’s a huge challenge but fashion at the moment needs innovation. I would be hesitant to do just one thing - it’s important to be able to create and be open-minded. It’s a dream - to bring your creative force to a different brand. I love Halston. We share a very similar frame of simplicity and elegance as well as the technical approach. I’ve been an admirer for a long time.”

Marios added he plans to build on the firm’s reputation for working with strong women, but will also be pushing its aesthetic forward. He added, “For me, the brand is very well known for the women it dressed - Bianca Jagger was a favourite Halstonette - capturing a decadence and glamour. I want to embrace this. But paying homage is one thing but you need to bring it to the future. A modern view point is what I want to give - it’s crucial for future success.”

Marios will be moving to New York to take up his new position, but plans to keep working on his eponymous label - of which Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue and Chloe Sevigny are fans - in London. He said: “I love the thought of having two fashion metropolises. London is amazing inspiration and New York is an interesting place to be - it’s important what comes out of them.”
