In the most recent iteration, Hilco Consumer Capital and Weinstein Co. acquired the brand with much fanfare in 2007, and tapped Parker as president and chief creative officer in January 2010 to steer the secondary Halston Heritage line (Marios Schwab spearheads the main designer collection). Parker’s deal included a seat on Halston’s board as well as an equity stake in the brand, though the size of the stake was never disclosed. The actress is said to be entitled to roughly $13 million over the next four years under her current agreement. At press time, it remained unclear whether Hilco was looking to buy out Weinstein and Parker. Richard Kaye, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Hilco Trading, Hilco Consumer Capital’s parent company, declined comment. As reported in April, Hilco was looking for additional investment or to potentially sell Halston. According to one source, there were at least three bidders for the company including Max Azria, but Halston is now said to be pursuing a licensing model instead. The departure of Parker and Weinstein — both high-profile personalities with no experience in running a fashion licensing business — could clear the path for this. Weinstein and Parker are just two of several executives who have joined and subsequently left Halston under the current ownership. Halston chief executive officer Bonnie Takhar also left the company and, recently, there has been some speculation that the firm may not renew its contract with Schwab unless he relocates from London, where he designs his own, namesake line, to New York, where Halston is based. Executive shuffles have become something of the norm at Halston, which had its heyday in the late Seventies when its charismatic namesake designer was a glamorous fixture at Studio 54 and dressed the global celebrity jet set. Since his death in 1990, there have been numerous attempts to revive the label, with designers Randolph Duke, Kevan Hall, Craig Natiello, Piyawat Pattanapuckdee, Bradley Bayou and Marco Zanini passing through the company’s doors. None succeeded at restoring Halston’s position as a premier American fashion brand. The move to bring in Parker raised many eyebrows, but it was also seen as a bold experiment and out-of-the-box approach. Unlike Victoria Beckham and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who have made successful transitions into fashion, Parker never put her entertainment projects on the back burner to focus exclusively on Halston and instead spent months on movie sets when she might have been a fixture in Halston’s showroom. In the early days, Parker was very involved in the Halston Heritage design process and, on occasion, sported the label in her public outings. Over time, however, the actress is said to have used her role at the firm to demand the kinds of clothes she wanted for herself, which were often at odds with the positioning of the contemporary Heritage collection and the overall DNA of Halston. Nonetheless, it is understood that the Heritage line got off to a strong start last year. One industry source, however, questioned Parker’s role in the success, suggesting that the Halston moniker could still be more credible to fashion consumers than Parker — even in today’s celebrity-obsessed culture. “I think Halston will be fine without her,” the source said on the condition of anonymity. As for Parker, it is unlikely this is the last the fashion industry has heard from her. As Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City” and with the help of the show’s stylist, Patricia Field, Parker became a fashion icon and like many of her peers, she has worked to extend the Sarah Jessica Parker brand beyond television and movie theater screens. Her several fragrances with Coty Prestige, including Lovely and Covet, are largely considered a success, and her clothing debut — a low-cost line called Bitten for now-defunct Steve & Barry’s — was well-received though it suffered at the time as a result of the retailer’s woes.

Solid Perfumes – A Modern View ~ Columns

After writing several posts on solid perfumes, I would now like to give an insight from another angle. I would like to present the modern and trendy ones, which might become your next choice, especially if your favorite fragrance is on the following list.

When creating their solid perfumes, many fashion houses make the designs of their solid perfumes containers and compacts not too classic or luxurious and exclusive like such as gorgeous Estee Lauder solid perfumes are .

Solid perfumes usually follow the design of the entire collection of a particular house. The solid perfume compacts are usually in the same color like the related liquid perfume bottles, and the shape of the container is often similar. For instance, the container might have a shape of the matching fragrance bottle top, or may entirely repeat the bottle shape in small.

I am using this opportunity to present several editions which have drawn my attention and caught my eye with their graciousness. Many of them might be real nice and decorative part of any woman's purse content.

Sarah Jessica Parker has made her newest fragrance Covet solid in a beautiful compact. The Covet compact contains 2.2g of solid perfume and is created in a same shape like the Covet bottle top. It is available at the price of approximately US$40.

Juicy Couture comes in a classic flat square compact in baby rose nuances. It comes in a pouch with imprinted emblem, the same one like on the fragrance bottle. It contains 0.13 oz of solid perfume and can be found at the price of US$55.

L.A.M.B. L , the solid perfume launched by the popular blond Gwen Stefani, come in a compact of the same design as the liquid fragrance bottle, golden-colored and with the same print. Its price is US$42.

 

Britney Spears has also presented her solid perfume. Fantasy comes in a cute, cheerful rose colored compact decorated with sparkling stones, reminiscent of the matching liquid fragrance bottle. The compact is packed in outer box and draw-string pouch and can be purchased at US$44 for 4.5g.

Prestigious Bvlgari Omnia , luxuriant and classic at the same time, also comes in a solid perfume form captured in a compact additionally packed in round white leather casing. Its price is approximately US$85.

Pink Sugar comes as a simple and joyous solid perfume in the well-known Aquolina style. It is reminiscent of white and rose round lollipop. When you open the compact it seems as if the scent takes you into a children's world full of happiness and joy. The compact contains 0.34 oz of solid perfume at the price of US$22.
