Earlier this month, the high-street brand announced that it had “clinched an exclusive deal” with Patricia Field, the stylist who devised the costumes for Ugly Betty, The Devil Wears Prada and, of course, Sex and the City. She has been hired to design a one-off collection that will be in M&S stores around the UK and overseas from next October.
In terms of canniness, the move is up there with Topshop’s hiring of Kate Moss as a designer. Field is perhaps the only woman who can claim to have started as many female clothing trends as Moss. Oversized corsages and charm necklaces are two of the many to emerge from the TV series of Sex and the City and be copied by the high street.
Yet although Field’s on-screen look epitomises Manhattan chic, her off-screen style is rather more radical. How her clothes will sit next to M&S’s cosier collections remains to be seen.
