Harvey Weinstein's Company Buys Halston

Harvey Weinstein's Company Buys Halston

Anybody want to guess why the Weinstein Company (in partnership with a private equity firm) has bought the famous couture brand Halston? Is it just because Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, Harvey Weinstein's girlfriend, is rubbing off on him? (Not, um, literally.) In some sense, it's intuitive to pair a fashion company and a film company, since it allows for easy product placement. Though we're hoping that the development notes on every Weinstein Co. script don't suddenly include things like "We feel this character would be more relatable if she were wearing a red chiffon cocktail dress in this scene."
