Carried Away With Fashion

Whenever you add Fashion + Location, the minds of the masses focus on London, Milan, New York, and Paris. Being a Native New Yorker of course, I think of my fabulous hometown, the tents in Bryant Park, and the floods of fashion lovers pouring through Lincoln Center, strolling down 5^th Avenue, or popping in a Vintage Shop in Soho. The culmination of New York City and Fashion gave birth to what is in my opinion one of the best shows ever to air on television Sex and the City.

 Sex and the City chronicled the lives of four friends (Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda) through being single and in-relationships, and through ups and downs with the voice of a writer (in Manolo Blahnik’s) and exceptional clothing. On January 14, 2013, the love story between Carrie Bradshaw and Manhattan continues, with the CW’s prequel The Carrie Diaries.

 

The Carrie Diaries starring newcomer Anna Sophia Robb, will take audiences on a journey with a 16- year old girl in 1984 Connecticut mourning the loss of her mother to New York City where she evolves into the Carrie Bradshaw that we know and love. Carrie travels to New York for an internship at Century 21, looking around she says, “In my years of playing dress up as a child I understood that what you wore could help define you, but in this store I understood that you might even be able to change who you are. Maybe you could walk in here one person, a kid from Connecticut and walk out…” stopping mid-sentence, Carrie meets Larissa, Style Editor of Interview Magazine and is instantly submersed into the world of high fashion.  Mark her words, because Costume Designer Eric Daman is up for the challenge of filling the very stylish stilettos. Daman plans to provide viewers with the inspiration for some of the things that we have seen in adult Carrie, for example

Hope you are all ready to get Carried Away with fashion, as the story unfolds. My advice grab your closest girlfriends watch the show and be inspired, then ask yourself how you can bring the 80’s into 2013.
