Thanks to Michelle, our helpful intern, for bringing this New York Times article to our attention. Harvey Weinstein (boyfriend to Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood) has just purchased Halston, the legendary fashion brand that dressed the likes of Lauren Hutton and Bianca Jagger in Studio 54 heyday of the ’70s. Touted as the best American designer in like, ever, Halston was responsible for many of the styles we still embrace today. Tamara Mellon, of Jimmy Choo fame, brought the deal to Weinstein and will provide creative direction (is there anything this chick doesn’t do? I’d like her to help us brand Bag Snob, someone have her people call my people please) So how does this translate into your life and why should you care? Because Hollywood actresses will be jumping to be seen in Halston on the red carpet which means you’ll be coveting it as well. I mean if your boss buys Prada wouldn’t you be wearing it 24/7 too? And we heard from a very reliable source that LVMH has major stakes in Weinstein’s company… hmmmmmmmmm
UPDATE:Rachel Zoe(Nicole and Lindsay former stylist) has just been tapped to join Tamara Mellon on the Halston board to lead creative direction. Another major hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Can’t wait to see what they come up with, we are always in need of fodder for our site
