Costume designer Patricia Field said that when it came to dressing the most iconic on-screen fashionistas for the hit show ‘Sex and The City’, it was never a conscious attempt.” I never really tried to consciously create a trend. All I really ever did was try to make things look beautiful and interesting and tell the story,” she said in an interview, reports eonline.com.
Now that the show is all set to be revived with its original star cast except actor Kim Cattrall, on HBO Max, it will be unfair not to discuss some of the finest trends given by Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, in the series.
From her love for crop tops or her signature tutu, her choices of clothes still make sense even after 20 years of its initial release and can be seen flaunted by the best of Hollywood personalities.
*Mixing patterns and prints: While for many it may look like one daring thing to do but Carrie converted this fashion faux pas into style. Whether it was clashing colours or an array of patterns, she nailed some of the mismatched ensemble throughout the course of the HBO series. Even now celebrities like Blake Lively can be seen opting for this trend.
Crop Tops: This certainly is one of the finest fashion trends given by ‘Sex and The City’ .Through six seasons of the show, Carrie and her friends bared their bellies in crop tops paired with virtually every kind of bottom and for nearly any kind of occasion and a decades later, the crop top is still very much alive.
Curls: Who doesn’t love curls? Carrie certainly didn’t invent the curl, but it was her iconic coiled mane in all of its phases that helped bring this hair trend to the forefront in the ’90s and for decades to come.
Fanny Packs: Did you notice Kendall Jenner sporting this trend offlate? Before her, the on-screen fashionista favored a fanny pack during her adventures in the Big Apple.
Tulle skirts: If you notice the opening credits of the show, Bradshaw tried to dodge a splash from a city bus in this trend. In homage to one of the show’s most enduring symbols, she even closed out the series in another tulle skirt for the finale episode and tried it back on in the first ‘Sex and the City’ movie. Janet Jackson at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards was seen in this trend, reports eonline.com
