It’s a fact: Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic Sex and the City incense was $5.

On the air – our column “It’s a fact”, where we share various facts and historical information from the world of fashion, is worthy of targeted coverage on Internet pages. In the last part of our saga, we talked strongly about a notorious Russian model, which Christian Dior calls his personal talisman – his story really resembles Cinderella stories. This time we decided to be more “situational” and tell an interesting fact from the filming of “Sex and the City”. After all, today the name of the picture is not again, but again loud – all about the triumphant return of Kim Cattrall to the role of Samantha Jones, thanks to the release of the second season of the continuation of the series “And just like that …” and, of course, the latest news.

Thanks to designer Patricia Field, who proudly holds the title of chief costume designer for all seasons of the series and its two sequels, Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe was truly diverse and, more importantly, memorable. At least take a look at Manolo Blahnik shoes, Baguette mini bag, Fendi and Vivienne Westwood wedding dress. But we came across only one image in each episode of the series – an outfit from the intro. So a pink t-shirt is in perfect harmony with a white tulle tutu skirt. So, the last one cost the team in the picture $5. Decryption – 420 rubles at today’s exchange rate.

Moreover, the story does not end with this fact – Patricia Field found the item completely by accident. To plan the shooting of the opening credits, the drama crew met several times to discuss every detail. And on her next trip to such a board, Patricia accidentally stumbled upon a flea market. The costume designer decided to take a quick look at the store, started rummaging through the basket with something, and eureka found the same ballet skirt that would later only come with the “cult” prefix.

Sarah Jessica Parker loved the item – it’s time to pull series creator Darren Star alongside a simple skirt. Patricia Field insisted on a purely airy smack: The costume designer was convinced that the dress in the credits should not reflect any fashion era and should stand out from time. Additionally, a flea market tutu skirt would ideally reflect Carrie herself, a stylish New York girl whose name tag from a famous brand isn’t all that important. However, the item perfectly conveyed the character of the hero.

“It was very difficult for the makers to understand the package. Sarah Jessica and I fought for it, and Darren said, “Okay, but I want other clothes,” Patricia later said in an interview. And while the costume designer devised escape routes with other outfits that referenced the late ’90s style (see sub-credits above), just in case, the ballet-skirted outfit made it to the finals. By the way, after the release of the series it has become a real trend and inspiration for many famous designers. And this is a fact.
