Sex and the City Stylist Avoids Trends

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: News,

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.”

Carrie Bradshaw

Sarah Jessica Parker is rumored to be in line for a consulting job with Halston. The Sex and the City actress - who is often regarded as one of the most stylish women of her generation - is believed to be in talks about working with the coveted US fashion range as either the “creative director” or “design director.”

E! Online reported: “We hear that the Sex and the City fashion icon may end up with a much bigger role at the revived design house. A source tells us that Parker may actually land some sort of consulting gig with Halston. Titles being bantered about include creative director and design director.”

Last September, the website claimed Sarah - who was pictured on the set of the Sex and the City sequel wearing a white dress from the Halston Heritage Spring 2010 collection - was in talks over a major endorsement deal with the coveted label.

Another source added, “There’s quite a lot of vintage Halston in the movie.”

Sarah released her own line Bitten in 2007 and has had great success with her range of perfumes.
