Halston & Sarah Jessica Parker

FOLLOWING a day of rumours across the fashion world, US label Halston confirmed today that Sarah Jessica Parker has signed a deal to undertake a role at the brand.

Halston has not yet revealed what Parker's position will be but it is thought that a creative role within Halston Heritage - the brand's new diffusion label inspired by archive pieces - will be combined with an equity stake or some other executive role for the actress, WWD reports.

The recently appointed Halston creative director, Marios Schwab, will show his first collection for the house at New York Fashion Week next month - but it is not thought that he and Parker will work together directly.
