the inside scoop with Patricia Field & Sex and the City

Just obsessed with Sex and the City! Well I found some fun facts on the movie from Patricia Field herself.. wouldn't you just love to know?! Well I have them.. and you can find them in the SATC book.. which I want but I'm not willing to pay $30. My theory? Wait a month... it'll be cheaper haha. Anyways here goes! <3
  • There are many vintage garments and accessories in the movie and this includes Carrie's infamous belt. Many of these came from Santiago's Warehouse in Miami. They raided NY's vintage stores and Goodwills to find other garments too.
  • Sarah Jessica Parker made 81 wardrobe changes in the movie. In total there were probably around 300 wardrobe changes. In total there were probably over 1000 wardrobe changes for all of the SATC cast. (Holy! I wish I had that many wardrobe changes!)
  • You know the fabulous wedding dress Carrie wore? The Vivienne Westwood one? It was $25,000! And they sewed an inner tube inside so it wouldn't drag along the streets of NY.
  • The fashion show during the fashion week was all by Vivienne Westwood. In the movie, Carrie is wearing Dolce & Gabbana; Charlotte is in Gianfranco Ferré; Miranda is wearing J. Mendel and Prada; while Samantha is in a Fur by PK and Sonia Rykiel. Also located in front row of the fashion show included Kelis and Lil Kim.
  • Patricia Field has won two Emmys for costuming. She also works for Cashmere Mafia (wannabe SATC) and the 2009 movie Confessions of a Shopaholic (omg! I'm reading the series now! They're sooo deliciously good!)
  • The breakfast/coffee shop scene has Carrie and Lily coloring in a Cinderella book. Carrie is coloring Cinderella's glass slippers blue, a reference to the blue Manolo Blahnik shoes that Big puts on Carrie's foot at the film's finale. Also, Carrie reads Cinderella to Lily when putting her to bed.
  • Remember the cute cupcake purse Lily (Charlotte's daughter) is carrying? The one she puts Carrie's pink Swarovski crystal-encrusted cell phone in? The clutch is made by Judith Leiber which retails for $4,300.
  • Carrie's hair color changeis actually a wig by Martial Corneville. (looks pretty damn real to me)
  • The Manolo Blahnik shoes Carrie places in her new walk-in closet retail for $525. The company, wisely, named a shoe after Sarah Jessica Parker.
