Harvey Weinstein and Heidi Klum should be very happy right now. With it's debut on Lifetime last Thursday, 'Project Runway' drew in 4.2 million viewers. Not only was that the most successful premiere of any of series in the show's history, it also maked the show as the highest rated competition reality show this year on cable.
Not bad, eh?
Kerry Washington
We've taken you party-hopping in Cannes - not to mention all over the red carpet - and now it's time to move on. But first, we bring you snaps from the 'Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky' premiere this weekend, which saw Kerry Washington cement her spot as the fashionista of the moment. Plus, Zhang Ziyi sports one of the lowest backs we've seen in awhile. We say, flaunt away!
The House of Halston has been making waves since its rebirth a few years ago. Having been bought by the Weinstein Company, coupled with support from Jimmy Choo boss Tamara Mellon, and with Marios Schwab's appointment in May as creative director of the newly revived '70s brand, things have certainly been running smoothly. And when rumours began to circulate last year that Sarah Jessica Parker would be snapped up as the face of the brand (especially as Ms Bardshaw has been spotted sporting several Halston pieces for the upcoming 'Sex and The City' movie) it seemed like the fashion puzzle had been solved.
Now, however, we hear that the powers-that-be at Halston are talking about bringing SJP on board with a title, too. Unlike the fiasco that was Lindsay Lohan's spell at Ungaro, we're sure SJP would be an asset to any fashion house, given her years of experience gained through working with the world's best stylist - Patricia Field, of course.
