What's the label for this season?

Believe it or not, there are women out there who did not and do not watch Sex and the City. Not during its six-season run from 1998 to 2004, nor in the subsequent four years it has been available on DVD, HBO On Demand or in syndication almost nightly on TBS. Still, here's betting that more than a few of those Sex-less women have donned a giant flower pin, flaunted Manolos or pined for a Birkin bag in the past 10 years, after an "SATC"-fueled fad gripped the masses. The HBO series was a fashion force that, thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker's effervescent Carrie Bradshaw and her costumer, Patricia Field, exposed a mainstream audience to flamboyant style extremes.

So, with the release of Sex and the City: The Movie, legions of loyalists hope to learn more than the answer to obvious questions like: Will Carrie and Big get married? Movie-goers want to see the clothes. And so, just after the opening credits roll comes Parker's familiar girlish voice-over, declaring that the female New York experience comes down to "the two L's: labels and love." In the movie, those labels include Chanel, Prada, Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Lacroix, Vivienne Westwood and, of course, Manolo Blahnik. That Carrie, in all seriousness, states that a Richard Prince Louis Vuitton bag is "the best money I ever spent," says it all about the show's, and now the movie's, priorities.

Style-wise, the supporting cast is, for the most part, as it was. Charlotte is still prim in printed sundresses and generally perky, uptown attire. Samantha is perhaps bigger and bolder than ever in over-the-top, often unsightly, getups, including canary yellow and emerald green jackets belted over white pencil skirts and topped off with door-knocker earrings. If anyone experienced a transformation, albeit a mild one, it's Miranda. Whereas in the series, Cynthia Nixon's cynical high-powered lawyer sometimes dressed as a quintessential corporate stiff in stark suits and boring basics, here she is fully, believably chic in tweeds, earth tones and graphic prints, often . Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery,jewellery for sale here,we aupply womens accessories,jewellery rings,gold jewellery,women's jewellery.You can wholesalaccessorized with demonstrative geometric jewelry.
