‘Sex and the City’: Carrie Bradshaw’s Best Shoes

During the show’s six-year run, Sarah Jessica Parker was dressed in an often (at the time) unconventional wardrobe, a quirky mix of high-end designer pieces, high-street fashion and, of course, meticulously curated vintage —all thanks to costume designer Patricia Field. Field saw the potential in the character and ran with it, taking advantage of Parker’s ability to pull off almost anything she was given, and always, always, adding an ideal selection of accessories.
