Ever since we heard the news, we’ve been dying for the details of Sarah Jessica Parker’s new position at Halston. Now the Sex and the City star has dished the dirt, and it’s pretty spectacular.
SJP has been named the fashion house’s president and chief creative officer. She will take a seat on the Halston board alongside Chief Executive Officer Bonnie Takhar, and own equity stake in the firm. It’s a massive commitment for the actress to make, and she knows it.
“I think this is a brand new kind of business model and it illustrates how serious I am about this position,” she explained. “I think it’s wonderful to feel invested in something.
“There is a huge amount I don’t know and I am very candid about that, and I am excited to learn. There are going to be things that come up that I am equipped to deal with and answer and respond to, and there are things that I will be happily mentored on by Bonnie. I have no allergy to learning.”
Sarah Jessica Parker’s always proven herself to be a smart cookie with style to spare. I’m sure she’ll learn the ropes in no time. I wonder how she might juggle this role with her acting career, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
