This time it doesn't involve Sex and the City, it's about one of my favourite labels: Halston. If I could live in any decade for the fashion it would be the 1970's, because I absolutely adore Halston's work. His clothes had a simplicity to them that made them so glamorous. It's really tricky to find good images of his designs online but there is a great book (HERE) filled with fabulous images.
You've probably all heard by now that Sarah Jessica Parker [in Halston above] has signed up to work for Halston Heritige - not to be confused with the mainline Halston, which has cleverly appointed Marios Schwab as creative director.
I was already getting sick of celebrities designing highstreet collections, but why are they now worming their way into high fashion? Granted SJP has amazing style, and it will not be a case of Lindsay Lohan at Emanuel Ungaro. But whatever happened to real designers?
Just so we can remember what the label is really about here is a slideshow (not made by me) of great Halston moments. Oh, what I'd give for a piece of vintage Haltson...
What do you think about SJP taking on a role at Halston? Good idea? Bad idea?
