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.

Lindsay Lohan Appointed Ungaro Adviser
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women,
Just when the rumors of hiring Lindsay Lohan at Ungaro died down, they have now been confirmed as she has been appointed “artistic adviser” for House of Emanuel Ungaro.
The Mean Girls actress, who already has her own range of leggings and fake tan, will work alongside Spanish designer Estrella Archs for the French fashion house and will be giving her own input on designs and styles.
Of her new role, Lindsay said, “I kind of oversee everything Archs does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas.”
The 23-year-old star also added she is confident of taking Ungaro to a “younger place” with a harder fashion edge.
Designer Amy Molyneux, who already works for the French label, said of the appointment, “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big. She does have an eye for fashion. I like the way she dresses. Her house is a mini-department store. She changes outfits five times a day.”
Again, where is the praise for the stylists who actually dress these celebrities, stocking that “mini-department store” with the clothes?
It had been reported Ungaro’s head designer had threatened to quit the fashion house if Lindsay was appointed; however, he recently said he would be staying “for now.”

Circuit City To Sell Off Stores
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Misc. Tech,
Circuit City is undergoing the same economic crunch most of us are. They are now thinking about closing at least 150 of their 712 stores. Thousands of jobs will be lost in an effort of the company to hold off Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Wall St. Journal reports that it is working with an investment bank to help them out before the upcoming holiday season. We expect this will not be the last retailer, electronics or otherwise, to feel the pinch in the weeks to come.
