SJP Leaves Halston

Sarah Jessica Parker is a woman who wears many, many hats. Wife, mother, actress, fashion plate, and designer. Except that she’s just removed one of those hats, and no one seems to know why. She took on the job as President of Halston Heritage in 2009. Bonnie Takhar, who was in charge of training her, left after less than a year. SJP admitted at the time that she didn’t really know how to do the job, but as a person who follows fashion, I’d say she did just fine.

Heritage is Halston’s lower-priced diffusion line, and since SJP took over it has enjoyed a lot of success. She totally didn’t exploit her celebrity for the line, like everyone expected her to, and instead relied on her intuitive design savvy. Which is why everyone is a little surprised that she will no longer be working with the company. The other mystery is that neither SJP nor Halston has actually made a statement about what happened.
