Sex and the City

The “Sex and the City” quartet of New York career women is back and soon to provide fans with a new dose of fashion fabulousness.
“Sex and the City: The Movie” began shooting in New York on Sept. 17 and, judging from the first few days of production, the costume designer Patricia Field has lost none of her mojo.
Au contraire.
Although the movie’s four stars are nearly a decade older than they were when the U.S. television series began, Field continues to dress Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her trio of BFFs (Best Friends Forever) in the same wild array of haute couture and vintage finds that transformed both fashion and television’s glamour quotient when the series aired from 1999 to 2004 on the maverick cable network HBO.
” ‘Sex and the City’ was key to what is now driving fashion,” said Merrill Greene, vice president and creative director of Stylesight, a New York-based online trend-tracking and forecasting service with clients like Macy’s, Target and Victoria’s Secret. “Patricia Field’s curation of what is available at large gave the characters street cred and drove desire. Patricia is always on the edge, mixing things up, mixing highbrow and lowbrow.”
