No there is no real Sex and the City Watch going on, but there might as well be all things considered. This movie is getting more buzz than The Devil Wears Prada. It’s not hard to see why as every sort of minutiae is being thrown in from what the characters eat, to the actual wedding scenes (that wasn’t a spoiler), to the designers being used. In this vein The LA Times blog looks at Pat Fields magician-like precision when it comes to striking the tone between the Carrie Bradshaw that was and the Carrie Bradshaw that is now. She looks at the character several years later and her fashion tastes have not so much grown as she as evolved”. Fields is quoted as saying,

“I saw Carrie a little more sexy, a little more evolved, a little more calm with herself as a woman, she was still going through her eclectic things, and she was gaining in her profession.”

The movie comes out at the end of May. To read more of the fashion production notes visit the LA Times blog here.

If one were to take a trip into Sarah Jessica Parker’s mind and see what she were thinking what would it be like? The question comes up because the news last week was about how she wore a $9 dress on the red carpet at the The Cinema Society’s event. Now normally SJP wears shoes that cost more than some folks’ wardrobe, but this time she went down the shameless self-promotion avenue and wore a dress that costs $8.98. So what was she thinking, what was in her mind? Possibly when she threw it on, there was pain. De constructing the photo one can infer that there’s this tortured smile with a yearning for Chanel, or Narcisso or (insertunaffordabledesignerhere).

While the Bitten line she’s selling at Steve and Barry’s has it high points, this beach dress from the Love Boat era is not one of them. And so SJP a bit of advice, if you’re going to create something for the masses to wear (which in and of itself is a noble cause), make it something current that everyone will actually want to wear.. Please

I saw this walking to the office yesterday. I thought that the ship had sailed and waiting almost four years to the date of the last episode wouldn’t interest anyone. But after seeing the trailer and this exciting movie poster I got the same chills I use to get every Sunday night. If there is one shameless indulgence that I am allowed, let this be it…

While we were incessantly covering fashion week a bunch of things happened that shook the foundations of the earth. You can see the start of hyperbole with that very statement or the fact that this is a Sex in the City centered post. Apparently Carrie and folks were not getting on well behind the scenes, but the fashions on display from the photos look like a labor of love from everything you can’t have.

The reports of grousing on set by Kim Cattrall and that fabulous green print trench thingy worn by Sarah Jessica Parker Broderick (never have I used so many consonants) and all the fun stuff that come with shooting a movie in Manhattan make for plenty of hijinx. Somewhere inthe blogosphere someone has created a Sex in the City movie watch. Let me know where it is so I can subscribe to the feed.

As an aside, I’m going to go on record and state that suspension of disbelief in movies is one thing, but women really don’t dress as if they are going to a fashion show just for coffee with the girls in NYC. Right? Right?
