Patricia Field doesn’t pay attention to trends.

The Sex and the City stylist - who has worked on all six seasons and two films of the romantic comedy franchise - says she wants to create a classic look for the films so they never go out of style.

“I’m not mindful of trends. I kind of run away from that because what’s going to be there next season is not going to be there the season after. And movies last a long time. If you look at Breakfast at Tiffany’s today, it looks absolutely gorgeous. You don’t say it looks out of style.”

The New York-based fashionista also claims she “hooks” the looks of the main characters - Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes - around one particular story arch, and in Sex and the City 2 used the Middle East for inspiration:

“If you find your hook in the script you go with it. The main thing is they get invited to the Middle East by a sheik for a 10-star vacation. So this was my motivation. The anticipation of a trip that they never even could imagine.”
