BlogaDonna: Sex and the City

In honor of Sex and the City: the Movie being released in theatres in May 2008, I have decided to pay homage to Sex and the City stylist, Patricia Field.

Field began her reign in fashion in 1966 when she opened her first boutique in Greenwich Village. Her boutique quickly gained popularity, and became synonymous with urban New York City style. Field became known for her fashion forward pieces, and soon ventured into styling for television and film projects. She has styled for Crime Story, Wiseguy, Spin City, and Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme.

However, it was Field’s first encounter with up and coming actress Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of Miami Rhapsody that put Field at the height of her career. After working with Field, Parker fell in love with her work, and was sure to enlist Field for the styling of her Sex and the City character, Carrie Bradshaw. Field’s work on the set gained the show notability for its avant-garde fashion, and gained Field her second Emmy award for Outstanding Costumes for a Series.

Since the Sex and the City series has concluded, Field has been busy at work. She has worked on the set of The Devil Wears Prada and Ugly Betty. She has even opened another boutique on Bowery Street in New York City, and has made her fashions available for purchase online, www.patriciafield.com/
