Patricia Field

From Carrie Bradshaw’s upscale fashion, to Samantha’s unique accessories, Sex and the City has introduced us to four women we love, admire, and can’t stop relating ourselves to. If it’s one thing these gals have taught us, it’s to look your best because love isn’t always blind. From couture dresses to headpieces and down to those Manolo Blahniks, have you ever sat and wondered who put together those ensembles?

American costume designer, stylist and boutique owner, Patricia Field is the woman behind the thread and needle. “I don’t use the recession as a reference for my creativity,” said Field. What makes her so unique is her ability to commence Gucci with Vivian Westwood and a pair of Jimmy Choos without SCREAMING label! “She is also responsible for changing the way women dress, forever,” said the Daily Mail.

Who says you can’t be a Carrie, Samantha, Miranda or a Charlotte? Everyone can wear Patricia Field’s custom pieces, and that includes men! The New York stylist opened her first boutique in 1966 and today it still sits in the fashion capital of the world. From stilleto’s, wigs, accessories and even Carrie Bradshaw’s inspired looks, lets just say you’ll walk in fabolous and leave out flamboyant.

Does Ugly Betty and Confessions of a Shopaholic sound familiar? Those are two on screen productions that Field has sprinkled her creativity over. From Academy Awards to Costume Designer Guild Awards and an Oscar nomination for best costume design in The Devil Wears Prada; if anyone knows how to bring out the essence of fashion its Patricia Field.
