Halston Making Yet Another Comeback

Edited by

Maybe he’s just beating a dead horse, but Ben Malka, the newest chairman and CEO of Halston, is determined to revive the iconic brand. Malka has shaken up the way Halston runs by moving the studios to Los Angeles where they will focus on the Heritage line left so carelessly behind by Sarah Jessica Parker, with plans to relaunch the Halston runway line next year. And unlike the past, money will cease to be an issue. According to Malka, “We are very well-funded, so I don’t have to worry about that. The money was put in by myself and my partners in a big way…The amount is enough for us to screw up for a long time.”

Jingle All The Bracelets

Edited by

I copied and pasted the lyrics of Jingle Bells into this post last night so I could cleverly doctor it into a fashion rhyme about holiday bracelets. Unfortunately I’m not a poet and what followed was truly horrendous blather that would scare away many of you, dear readers. I quickly abandoned the task to make banana oatmeal bread, but I do leave you with 10 glittering bracelets that jingle with jubilant cheer. Whether for the last week of holiday parties or a boozy New Year’s Eve celebration, your wrists will be stylin’.

Janet Jackson Designs All Fur You

Edited by

Nevermind Rihanna being the latest celeb to collab for a collection. After being the spokesmodel for Blackglama‘s What Makes a Legend Most campaign, Janet Jackson has teamed up with them to make their newest line of mink. Janet explains this sudden urge to design: “The art of fashion is one of my great passions. I’ve worked for years to bring a collection into the world.  Partnering with Blackglama is very exciting.” Let’s just hope this wardrobe doesn’t malfunction. Or that PETA doesn’t pull a Justin Timberlake and rip it by force.

Sam Edelman Brings His New Purse to Studio 54

Edited by

I still remember my first pair of Sam Edelmans – ivory ballet flats, gold chain links, toe cleavage – at the very start of the ballerina shoe explosion. At point of purchase, I thought Sam Edelman was a woman, was surprised to find out he used to be the Sam in Sam and Libby. Point is, Sam Edelman has blossomed into a hit shoemaker since its inception in 2004, and rather than resting on his laurels, he’ll be resting on our shoulders as the brand extends to handbags. Will I remember my first Edelman bag like I do the shoes? Seeing as the inspirations behind the different facets of the collection are Studio 54 and Parisian streets, it seems quite likely.
