Patricia Field knows a thing or two about style. The costume designer is the fashion force behind the now iconic wardrobe of "Sex in the City," "The Devil Wears Prada" and most recently, "Confessions of a Shopaholic." (And no doubt, SATC 2.)

In celebration of today's "Confessions of a Shopaholic" DVD release, Field lets StyleList in on what it was like dressing Isla Fisher, the favorite "hooker" look that didn't make the cut and her summer must-have.

Last night marked the (tragically) temporary opening of the venerable LA fashion mecca DecadesTwo's pop-up store in New York City. If you're a fan of fashion like attendee Claire Danes, and crave gently worn Chanel, Fendi, Louboutin, Balenciaga or Chloe, this is your haven.

Lingerie store Kiki de Montparnasse at 79 Greene Street is playing NYC host through May 17th. But judging by the demand for by-appointment-only shopping slots -- 800 requests in the first hour! -- perhaps it'll stick around a little longer. Fingers crossed!

Sex and the City sequel (not) coming soon!

sex and the city sequelSex and the City fans were beyond thrilled to hear that Kim Cattrall confirmed a sequel being in the works next summer. Actually, thrilled is an understatement -- they were busting out the cosmos and Manolos and planning movie release parties already!

Filed under: Holiday Style, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


Sure, some people like dressing up in some sort of gross and gory get-up for Halloween, but not us. We prefer to use this as an excuse to go over the top with clothes, hair, and makeup. You know, the way celebrities do every time they step out on the red carpet.

Tip of the day: Pat Field for HSN

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day

Pat Field is seriously doing an affordable line for the Home Shopping Network? Did we just die and go to heaven? Apparently we did because, as we reported last month in an exclusive interview, the legendary redheaded Sex and the City stylist is hosting on HSN from September 23 – 27. Field will be handing out free fashion advice and letting us in on her life as a celebrity stylist.

HSN is taking preorders right now so we're guaranteeing it will be slim pickins by the time Pat actually hits airwaves. But even if the collection is sold out, we're still going to tune in because tips from Pat are invaluable. And if they're free, we'll take em!

Confessions of a Shopaholic trailer

Filed under: Style in the News


We loved Isla Fisher as the psycho, stalkeresque Gloria in "Wedding Crashers," and we love the fact that she is married to the iconoclast that is Sacha Baron Cohen.

This winter, Fisher gets her first, much-deserved starring role as a likable ditz with a serious charge-it problem in "Confessions of a Shopaholic." (Based on the bestselling book of the same name.)

The trailer just went up this week, and while the story looks a bit stereotypically chick flick-ish, we'll probably go just to witness the wardrobe...and for the scene where Fisher's character bum rushes a cute guy with the line, "You speak Prada?"

Manolos over magic - SATC outsells Harry Potter

Filed under: Style in the News

It makes sense that the DVD of a movie that appeals to shoppers would have an incredible first day of sales (even if the party celebrating its release wasn't so fabulous on its own). In fact, the Sex and the City: The Movie DVD sold at the rate of approximately 90 per minute on its first day, outselling Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

What we're curious about is how many people are buying it because they didn't see it in the theater, and how many are buying it because they want to watch it over and over. We know we're itching to get our well-manicured mitts on it so we can gawk at the glamor and fashion at our leisure. How about you?

Sex and the City designer Patricia Fields styles your wardrobe

Be honest: Do you ever really get sick of playing the "Which Sex And The City Woman Am I?" game? I used to be mostly Carrie, with a healthy dose of Charlotte and a nice dash of Samantha thrown in for spice. Now that I'm married, I'd say there's been an in increase in the Charlotte factor. I could go on...and I suspect that you could too.

Luckily, the mastermind behind the women's astonishing, character-defining fashions for the SATC series and the movie (as well as The Devil Wears Prada and many other hits), Patricia Field, has brought that level of chicness off the screen and, possibly, into your closet. And I got to meet with her! Now, I ask you: what does one wear for something like that? Answer: A Corey Lynn Calter "painted" blue dress. She liked it. It will now be in heavy rotation.

In a super short mini dress that showed off her flawless legs, Field was so nice and very thoughtful about her new one-off collection, Destination Style New York for HSN (buy items from this collection here). It's comprised of 50 pieces, and yes, each one evokes one of the characters. So if you're feeling a little bit more Miranda-esque today, no problem. The average price is -- get this -- only $75. And pieces come in sizes 2-16.



So what does Fields think is coming up next in the world of fashion? "Things are going to get sleeker, like Halston-era '70s with lots of solid color jerseys," she said (as I mentally prepared my next shopping must-haves).

Also: "Accessories, like gloves and hats, and leg adornments of all kinds. Things we haven't ever seen." She added: "Everything's getting simpler, so it's the person you see, not the embellishments on their clothes." Nice!

And what trend does she think is O-V-E-R? "Statement necklaces." From the lips of the Goddess of Style straight to your ears, you heard it here first.

Patricia Field's 5-Finger Half Gloves from Sex and the City

Filed under: Product Reviews, Daily Obsession, Get the Look


Gloves are usually unnecessary and impractical--especially when you live in Los Angeles. But they are also devastatingly glamorous and fun, and now that Labor Day has come and gone, glove season is fast approaching.

After falling in love with the half gloves Sarah Jessica Parker wears while talking on a pay phone in Sex and the City, we were happy to discover they were available online. Patricia Field, who designed Carrie's original pair, is selling replicas for the reasonable price of $48. The good news: we just got ours, and they're even cooler than we could have imagined. The bad news: they're on back order yet again, and this time until November.

Sarah Jessica Parker produces show for Bravo

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Those wondering what Sarah Jessica Parker is going to do now that Steve & Barry's is pretty much kaput and the Sex and The City sequel won't be in our theaters for at least another two years should look no further for their answer. SJP is hi-tailing it to Bravo to produce a -- get this -- reality show!

But the real kicker, it's not about fashion at all. No, Parker's show is about the art world. American Artist, as it's being called, will follow a group of aspiring contemporary artists as they compete each week for a gallery show, a cash prize, and a sponsored national tour.
