The rumours are gleefully true! New York’s most fabulous foursome are back and are tottering their way to a screen near you from May 28th next year. Filming has just begun on the eagerly anticipated sequel to last summer’s blockbuster; which is rumoured to have netted an estimated $415 million across the globe.
Fashionistas worldwide are rubbing their perfectly manicured hands together in glee at the prospect of devouring stylist Patricia Fields upcoming range of eclectic and beautiful fashion gems. The stylist, infamous for her unusual fashion sense, has become a household name thanks to her impeccably dressed Sex and the City stars.
Fields’ strength lies in her penchant for quirky accessories and the ability to think outside the box. When it comes to fashion, she’s miles ahead of other costume stylists. She has an impeccable eye for putting together unique combinations that somehow just work. She can manipulate even the most conventional outfits into the most striking and beautiful pieces of artistry. She never fails to add a stunning twist to the girls’ wondrous wardrobes.
Think of Miranda’s lawyer-esque working wardrobe, or Carries wedding dress complete with bird head dress. Her artistry makes even the most accomplished stylist look last season and leaves the rest of us mere mortals trailing way behind, furtively trying to recreate her inventive, one-of-a-kind, ensembles.
Red headed actress Cynthia Nixon, who plays single working mum Miranda Hobbs in the hit Channel 4 show feels that ‘the clothes are like another character in the show. They help make it real.’ The series has a cult following, with fans trawling stores and the internet to snap up the fab fours’ biggest must-have items. The show has catapulted shoe designers Christian Louboutin, Monolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo to iconic status thanks to Carrie’s love for their shoes.
She simply goes weak at the ankles for their designer beauties and cannot resist their allure. She’s gone to all kinds of extremes to maintain her shopping habit, maxing out credit cards and blowing rent money on her designer addiction. She’s even voiced humorous concern towards her obsession, once calling herself the ‘woman that literally lived in her shoe’ when she realised that she had no money to secure a loan for her flat. She defended her infatuation by saying ‘It’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes, that’s why you need really special shoes.’ Her shoes are almost like decoration as she lovingly gazes into their boxes. Some never make it out, and some are for reminiscing. Never the less we can all thank Carrie (not forgetting Patricia) for inspiring women worldwide to strut their stuff in some really fabulous shoes. And for that, we salute you!
