All of a sudden there has been a wave of new fashionable television programming. There are shows about fashion and shows where fashion is the "fifth" character.

The two most buzzed about shows of the moment are Cashmere Mafia (starring Lucy Liu) and Lipstick Jungle (starring Brooke Shields). Both shows revolve around a grouping of single women living in the big city trying to maintain their lives.

Sound familiar? Well it should, they are eerily similar to Sex and the City. It's not only the premises that sounds similar, these new shows are also expected to have women running out to imitate the styles of women on the shows – just like the Carrie phenomenon.

I have watched Cashmere Mafia twice now and while the stylist is the same (Patricia Field) when it comes to fashionable television accept no imitators, Sex and the City holds the title for the most fashionable show in recent television history.
