FIELD Patricia (Stylist)

Patricia Field, a native New Yorker, began her career with the opening of her Greenwich Village boutique in 1966. For over forty-five years her eclectic designs have been a defining factor in the urban style of New York fashion. More recently Field was propelled into the limelight during her time as costume designer on the television series Sex and the City. The show _ set and filmed in the atmospheric streets of New York City _ became famous for its sharp, well-written episodes and fashion-forward heroines. Field's approach took outfits that would be attention-grabbing but not seasonal; luxury brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Gucci were given a witty street edge in Field's hands, worn by Sarah Jessica Parker as the central character, Carrie Bradshaw. Winning an Emmy Award in 2002 for her work on the show, Field was also nominated for an Oscar for her designs for the film The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
