Fashion Queens Dethroned?
By admins | June 25, 2009
This week has brought about speculation surrounding two of the fashion industry’s grand dames. Rumor has it that Vogue’s Anna Wintour and designer Patricia Field may be facing some big losses. It seems the current mantra is out with the old and in with the new. Amid persistent rumors that Vogue is ready for a new editor in chief to freshen up the magazine, comes disappointing numbers this week. For the first time ever, Elle magazine had beaten out Vogue in ad sales! Not good news for Wintour, but excellent news for Elle’s Robbie Meyers.
At the same time, Anna’s not so BFF designer Patricia Fields is facing her own problems. Besides being an innovative designer Fields won acclaim for costume design in, The Devil Wear Prada (based on Anna Wintour as the devil) and the Sex and the City television show and movie. News has just leaked that Sarah Jessica Parker wants her character to have a new look for the Sex and the City sequel and Pat Field is not having it! SJP believes Carrie should be more recession conscience in the sequel and Patricia isn’t budging from her designer look. Whether or not you want Carrie to be more economical or you love fashion film as escapism, perhaps the real problem is Field seemed to have lost some of her design magic in the move from TV to big screen. So what do you think, is change coming to either of these ladies?

That would be really sad about Patricia Fields, I think shes is incredible. With that said, I can definitely see how SJP would want to head in a different direction. Considering the economy and all. The show and movie is watching by regular girls who adore it and sometimes they can probably feel as if they cannot accomplish that level of high fashion. Love the blog x

I’m kind of torn about Pat Fields. I loved the fun, whacked outfits in the TV show, but perhaps the film went a little too far? I’d hate to see Carrie get dull.

Patricia Field should use some of that creativity and give SJP a new look. It would be more fun and challenging to come up with awesome outfits that are inexpensive and not all easy to choose designer pieces. If she was smart she would appeal to the masses and then start a less expensive line and make tons of money. Come on, Patricia get with it!

I imagine so, things are always changing and if you don’t change with it you are left behind. PF did such a great job with Devil Wears Prada, and she was THE force behind Sex and the City on tv. I was sad when I heard she wouldn’t reflect the economy in her wardrobe choices for the movie sequel. Can she not handle it, not up to the challenge? It would make the next movie more realistic. And plus, Carrie knows how to scope out the deals.
