PAT FIELDS STYLING FOR NEW ABC SHOW

Costume Designer Patricia Field is set to take care of the styling for ABC’s new show “Cashmere Mafia” starring Lucy Liu. The show is about a group of girlfriends from high school who grow up to be successful executives. It shows how they turn to one another for advice as they juggle the high demands of their career and family needs in the heart of New York City.

Sounds familiar? Yup that’s right Sex and the City. Field, was one of the reasons Sex and the City became so popular, and her creative imaging of the characters made a huge impact on fashion. She turned Sarah Jessica Parker into a household name and a fashion icon through her character, journalist Carrie Bradshaw, never repeating an outfit. Lucy Liu had this to say about the designer’s creativity:

“Patricia Field is somebody that we were lucky enough to have come onto our show. She has an incredible talent for putting together pieces and making them look like art. She never repeats an outfit, as she said in my fitting, and she also puts together things that you would never imagine. I mean, she could put, you know, something from the 80s, put a modern belt on it, and put some shoes, with a purse form the 70s and the look looks great. And she also goes with what she thinks the actors are like and what she’s seen of our work and how we move and how we — you know, how we like to illuminate the screen. And so she sort of puts that in conjunction with what we are working on to create a new look. And because she also did “Sex and the City,” which I know that a lot of people will be comparing the two shows, she knows what not to repeat. If anything, she’s going to want to start something completely new because that’s who she is. She doesn’t even like to repeat her own work. So that’s the one thing we are graced with in terms of fashion, is her. I think we can just kind of show up and have her throw anything she wants on us.”

There is no doubt that the show will be largely compared to Sex and the City. Although knowing Patricia Field work I’m sure she will bring an exuberant amount of creativity and exclusive forward fashion trends.

Cashmere Mafia premieres on Tuesday night November 1st at 9pm on ABC.
