If the money, the CEO, the president, and the famous face leave a brand, can it survive? Marios Schwab is the only semi-recognizable name left at Halston and despite his talent, the storied 70s brand may be worse off than ever. Earlier this week it was discovered that Sarah Jessica Parker had left Halston a few months ago. She’d been the President and Chief Creative Officer for about a year and successfully woven the brand into the second Sex and the City movie. Now, just a few days later, comes word that Harvey Weinstein’s left. It was only when he joined the brand, in 2007, that people started to pay attention—thanks to both his Hollywood and fashion connections (he’s married to Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman). He recruited Rachel Zoe and Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon to consult before landing on Parker and designer Marios Schwab. In spite of all the losses, it sounds like the brand’s parent company Hilco is determined to keep going. WWD reports that Halston’s actually done quite well at retail (thanks in huge part to Parker) and Hilco’s just invested $7.5 million in new capital.
Callie.Stardoll- Color themes! That's why I love this week's Dream Suite!
Bold colors are so hot this season, and Polish Stardoller malgosia245 puts a color pow! in each Suite room. I love the fierce mix of animal print and orange, and the cool combo of brown and icy blue.
Check out some more of malgosia245's rooms below, and then check out the real suite!

Phoebe Philo and Kanye West at the CFDA Awards. Kanye West has been dancing around his fashion line for years. It started with a Louis Vuitton sneaker collaboration, and a season full of front row appearances. He rapped about fashion, said he wanted to intern and swore he was researching a budding brand. It was more common to see him at a fashion party than not, and he spent the last fashion month in Paris seeking advice on factories and production. Now Grazia reports that he’s finally ready to show the world what he’s been working on. West has allegedly opened a studio in London and sought guidance from Central St. Martin’s professor Louise Wilson, the same one who’s mentored Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, Alber Elbaz and Christopher Kane, among others. And whatever he’s whipped up—a women’s ready-to-wear collection—he’s apparently ready to show the world. If it happens, we imagine it’ll be done Tom Ford-style as West seems particularly sensitive to fashion criticism. Stay tuned!
ElleGirl- Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, James Dean. These are people who often show up on our shirts—their mugs do anyway. And we love it! They were accomplished stars who had large followings and still do to this day. Need we remind you of Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn pop art? Didn’t think so. Now it doesn’t take as much to get your face plastered all over clothing. Tween stars are featured on clothing line after clothing line. That’s all fine and dandy to us—little boys and girls love it! But we found a dress that we’re not so sure about…
Amber.Stardoll- Jennifer Aniston recently appeared on 'Inside the Actors Studio' and for the first time ever, she revealed how exactly it was she got into comedy acting. Believe it or not, it wasn't some life long dream of hers! It was actually just her natural way of dealing with sadness, particularly her parents' divorce.
She explains, "It was pretty crappy. I came home from a birthday party and he was moved out. It was pretty abrupt. Sure, your dad leaves and disappears for a while, that’s pretty brutal. But that’s sort of the beauty of it. Like I said, I would never exchange any of it… Me making people laugh, finding the humor in things, trying to lighten up the mood between disgruntled parents, getting attention… It sort of was a survival technique.”
We're glad Jen managed to turn her lemons into lemonade! Just imagine how different "Friends" would have been without her. Aaah, we don't even dare to think about it!

Every month, we check our mailboxes impatiently for several items: ELLE (duh) and the Free People catalog, among other things. In each edition, the boho brand manages to hit upon a look that is totally right-now yet also completely unique. For July, the stylists went down-home, grundgy western, traveling to Austin, Texas to shoot the models in an edgy country style.

- We spotted super model Heidi Klum, her mother Erna Klum and Heidi's children Henry, Leni and Lou have a day out in New York yesterday. We always love seeing the Klums out and about, they're just the living portrayal of family bliss! And how cute isn't little Lou in her stroller? Double Aww!

- Last week, Wilmer Valderamma revealed that he and his former co-stars have “talked about” a That 70s Show reunion. “Let’s start the buzz,” he said. Well, we’re certainly buzzing: it would be a blast to see Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis, who have all shot to mega-stardom since their sitcom days, re-don their ’70s style gear and head to the basement again like they did in the show. His words got us thinking, though, about what other casts we’d love to see reunite. We picked out seven now-canceled TV shows that are totally reunion-worthy. Let us know what we missed!
