More news from the germ-ridden depths of my sick bed...
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is to consult for Halston Heritage, a more affordable sister line to the sleek 70's fashion house. Word on the street suggests that a role as demanding as Creative Director could be bestowed upon the actress, renowned for her innate sense of style and quirky fashionista image.
I have one major problem with this news.
It's not that SJP is at all clueless in terms of style (she does wear clothes well, due in part to the fact that she is tremendously thin, which always helps), we have all seen paparazzi shots of her looking every inch the fashion icon. It's that time and time again she is lauded as being every woman's style crush, when in fact the lady you are after should be Patricia Field. The costume designer and stylist created the looks for Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada, Ugly Betty and Confessions of a Shopaholic. No small feat then. Only the most influential fashion based programming of the Noughties.
Before Sex and the City, had anyone heard the words "style" and "Sarah Jessica Parker" mentioned in the same sentence? Didn't think so.
