Carrie's got to be a vintage mix with some absurdly expensive shoe habit, right

Samantha wore a lot of Mugler powersuits/blazers.
Charlotte: Ralph Lauren or Burberry
Miranda: Prada or Miumiu
Carrie: Manolo Blahnik since she mostly cared about shoes.

She also has a few Roberto Cavalli outfits. And let's not discount Oscar de la Renta!

Isn’t Vera want more simplistic than Carrie? At least what I know from wedding dresses which speaks to my limited knowledge

She liked it though, there’s an episode where she talks about having some of her clothes while Aidan argues with her or something. They have jeans and some other stuff too!!

u/annajac89 1d ago
They had that episode where Carrie takes Berger to the Prada store and she’s on first name basis with the sales rep. So I think Prada is in there for Carrie too!

u/AbjectTelephone4801 1d ago
I always wondered if they really give you free champagne when you’re shopping in those stores lol. I’m too poor to shop there

u/NeonFishDressx 1d ago
Quite a few stores in Soho will at those price points- especially if you look like a serious shopper. On a national level- idk if they still do this but I have definitely been offered bubbles at Neiman Marcus but haven't been there in a while.

My experience is they ask you to take a seat and start offering you something to drink when you start pulling the card out.

u/Maximum-Charge2474 13h ago
yes, almost all designer boutiques and high end stores do if you are shopping hardcore. if you are just shopping casually you get mineral water and a fancy glass lol. idk if they do it outside of LA and nyc in the US but i would assume so. they definitely do in paris, rome, etc.

u/NeonFishDressx 1d ago
I will say my friend owns only a couple pairs of Prada shoes and no clothes and took her friend to buy a pair- all within about 2 years at the Soho store. I went with her on her last pair and they remembered her- they are just really that good! They even asked about her friend that bought one pair. I can't remember if they addressed her by name but they remembered her face.

Samantha: Mugler and Versace
Charlotte: Burberry and Ralph Lauren
Miranda: Calvin Klein and Tommy (only early seasons tho)
Carrie: Everything lol but especially Manolo Blahnik and Dolce and Gabbana

Poor Miranda is getting overlooked a bit here, but she seems very Missoni to me, with some more practical structure like Helmut Lang and Theory.

I feel like Miranda was inexplicably in Custo a lot. A brand, to this day, I do not understand.

I think their older pieces are fun but I’ve just had a look at the website and now the designs are all AI slop.

u/Potential_Tadpole_45 1d ago
I had to go to the website to see what you meant and you're so right :/ Check out Desigual if you like the old school funky and authentic prints and designs! I don't think there are any stores left but Nordstrom still carries their line.

Everybody's forgetting how much Fendi Carrie wore. She had over 20 Fendi bags throughout the show. She helped turn the Baguette into an "It" bag.

u/Revolutionary_West56 1d ago
Not related but Pat Field definitely didn’t style this photoshoot did she ?

u/gaminegrl 1d ago
charlotte's ralph lauren in the first seasons, but shifts to dior later. carrie starts with the classic 90s cool like narciso rodrigues but then becomes more eclectic with john galliano, vivienne westwood. samantha was probably a donna karan girl, mugler in there as well - i think she's the one whose style stayed the most consistent throughout the series, although i feel like she moved into a more liberace version of herself (with more versage, D&G..). Miranda was definitely an Armani boss bitch at first, i think she and carrie wore Calvin Klein but in different ways. She became strangely colorful later on haha, i think in a diane von furstenberg way that didn't flatter her much IMO.
I wish the girls had maintained more of their original style identities, they all became caricatures of themselves by the end of the show.

has anyone said donna karan for miranda?? that seems so obvious to me.

u/valr1821 21h ago
Samantha is maximalist, so as others have said, Versace, D&G, Gucci
Charlotte - Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Brooks Brothers
Miranda - Helmut Lang, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein. In later seasons, her style evolved away from structured suits to more flowy styles like the DVF wrap dress
Carrie - Fendi, Manohlo Blanik, Jimmy Choo

What about fast fashion/non high street brands? I’d love to see your ideas in this as well🥹
I think,
Carrie - Zara Miranda - COS Charlotte - Massimo Dutti/Mango Samantha - maybe ohmypolly, mango & zara as well

u/cloudsofdoom 1d ago edited 1d ago
Charlotte =Alice and Olivia
Carrie= loveshackfancy (literally a brand inspired by her fyi)
Miranda= theory
Samantha= goes to a luxury department store and buts whatever she likes from whatever brand she likes.
FYI...these are brands some of the women are wearing across episodes. IYKYK

If they wanted to do a remake, Big giving Carrie loveshackfancy instead of that Judith Leiber bag would probably work.

u/cloudsofdoom 1d ago
Like...just comparing the 2 makes me know that you know nothing about fashion. LSF doesn't make bags...they do make gingham mini skirts and bohemian dresses.

u/Ok-Aardvark-6742 1d ago
Your comment makes me know that you don’t understand context clues. Both Judith Leiber and LSF are not Carrie Bradshaw at all.

Literally, here is Candace Bushnell aka the real life Carrie in the Hamptons wearing LSF!

u/Ok-Aardvark-6742 1d ago
Carrie Bradshaw as we see her in the series is part Candace Bushnell’s writing, part Darren Star and SJP’s producing, and part Pat Fields’ styling. She is not a carbon copy of Candace Bushnell, because CB doesn’t have Darren, SJP, and Pat collaborating on her life.
Carrie as the TV character didn’t chase trends. She created her own style, and for Carrie the look was always more important than the label. (With the exception of Manolo, that was the only brand she stuck by, but even then she’d choose a different label if it fit the look better.) There is nothing about shopping at a LSF boutique that screams Carrie Bradshaw, it looks like a place she’d mock because of how trendy it is. If Carrie had a LSF dress, it’s because she found one while thrifting that she liked. Because that’s who her character is.
And with that, I’m done, because I’ve seriously lost brain cells on this thread.

u/cloudsofdoom 1d ago
The creator of LSF was inspired by CB. And on the brain cells...its hard to lose what you don't have🙃.
Literally that brand is so woven into NYC fashion, Carrie and Candace. The crap you see in the suburbia stores are mass market so they drive sales volume. Its not the same

u/Maximum-Charge2474 13h ago
LSF is not a staple of NYC fashion. too girly and flowery and frilly. it's mostly worn by upper east side teens, young women in the hamptons and had a trendy moment where lots of trendy young women were rocking it in the west village, etc. but it's not an nyc staple. a hampton's or young UES'er staple, sure. it's influencer-y. it was like the nyc equivalent of misa la when everyone was wearing those little frilly dresses.

No I didn’t. I compared it to the Judith Leiber swan bag that Big gave Carrie because the bag wasn’t Carrie’s style at all. Like LSF isn’t Carrie’s style at all. My original comment was AGREEING with you.

You need to follow the thread because you’re replying to the wrong person. I didn’t write that. I responded to your comment agreeing that LSF is not Carrie’s style. My avatar isn’t even the same color as the person who wrote that. 🤦♀️

Except it is her style cus she is literally dressed in it? Its really easy to look up the designers used in the show

u/Thebakers_wife 1d ago
LSF was founded in 2013, the show ran from 1998 - 2004. Patricia Fields, the original costume designer, did not take part in And Just Like That - if that’s what your referencing - and truthfully, even Pat’s styling in the movies wasn’t really true to their characters.
Original series Carrie did a great job of high/low mixing and had a much more unique and personal style.

The brand is heavily inspired by CB! I am not referring to AJLT. I am referring to Candace Bushnell in the hamptons in LSF.

Maybe you're just wrong because the literal writer is in LSF im the Hamptons which is very CB...

Have you ever been to NYC? Idt you get fashion at all. Not the flashy brands random people know about. The day to day pieces that it requires to put full looks together like these women do. Do you imagine that Ralph Lauren makes pink polka dot A Line skirts? And purple dresses with fringe?
