    Interview with Award Winning Costume Designer/Stylist and Fashion Designer Patricia Fields

    Interview with Award Winning Costume Designer/Stylist and Fashion Designer Patricia Fields

    0

    Field was born in 1941 in New York City to a Greek father and an Armenian mother, who emigrated from Plomari, Lesbos, Greece. She was raised in Astoria, Queens and has claimed credit for inventing the modern legging for women’s fashion in the 1970s. She is the owner of the eponymous boutique Patricia Field.

    Field met Sarah Jessica Parker during the filming of 1995’s Miami Rhapsody. The actress became so enchanted with Field’s collections that they became friends and continued working with her on the series Sex and the City. Before beginning the first season of the Sex and the City television series on HBO, Parker asked to have Field design some of the clothes that her character, Carrie Bradshaw, would wear. During Field’s tenure as costume designer on Sex and the City, the show became famous for the fashions showcased.

    For her work on Sex and the City, Field was nominated for five Emmy Awards, with one win, and nominated for six Costume Designers Guild awards, with four wins. She is one out of six Honorees of the 2008 Reel Time Film Festival. She went on to return as Costume Designer for Sex and the City: the Movie (2008) and the sequel Sex and the City 2 (2010). She worked in the Asian market by creating the fashion behind the Chinese feature film “杜拉拉升职记” (Go Lala Go) (2010). Her most recent project is Taiwanese television series, The Material Queen. Field’s television credits include Hope & Faith and Ugly Betty. She served as costume designer for the feature film The Devil Wears Prada, for which she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design, although in an extensive interview included as a bonus feature on the film’s DVD release, she admits she dressed the cast by gathering garments from other designers’ ready-to-wear collections rather than creating them herself.

    Field, who is openly lesbian, was for many years romantically committed to costume designer Rebecca Weinberg (Field), with whom she has partnered on Sex & the City and Spin City.

    She appeared as the first guest judge during the first season of the Bravo reality television series Project Runway. Her eponymous boutique was featured in a 2007 episode of Kathy Griffin’s reality show My Life on the D-List, as well as on a 2008 episode of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. She designed the outfits in Namie Amuro’s music videos for her three songs New Look, Rock Steady, and What A Feeling from her single 60s 70s 80s, as well as Anna Vissi’s music videos for Stin Pyra and Alitissa Psihi from her album Apagorevmeno. In 2011, she designed all or most of the outfits for the characters in a Taiwan drama called Material Queen.

    World Liberty TV was on hand at the Helen Yarmark’s PH at The Iconic Crown Building NY where Ms. Field was doing the styling for The Helen Yarmak line.

    Lurid fluorescent light spills over a shadowy figure working deep into the night. Exacting needles, spools of fine thread, and luxuriant fabrics find their way in and around the dexterous hands of this diligent artist. Reckless passion is cast aside and replaced by the brutal will of a true fashion designer. To describe Danny Nguyen’s talents with words would be as futile as identifying infinity with a number.

    Despite his now bolstering yet enigmatic personality, Danny Nguyen’s foundation in the fashion world is rooted in the soil of humility. He began as a child, under the wing of his mother. Predating his arrival to the United States, Danny would be seen at a very early age cutting fabrics, collecting designs and assisting with custodial chores around his mother’s alteration. During this period, he developed and refined many of the essential skills of a fine fashion designer.

    From hence, Danny has developed further in many other aspects of the fashion world upon his arrival to the rich and diverse culture of Houston. He has his own studio for alterations and design entitled DNC (Danny Nguyen Couture) in which he spends a great deal of time pursuing his dream which dances at the end of every needle he drives into his next exquisite creation. He is a son, a brother, and a friend but most importantly, he is the embodiment of a calling whose sound does not quiet until it has reached the end of the runway.

    Aboriginal Fashion Designer and Artist Sho Sho Esquiro took the stage, whose elegant pieces feature meticulous detailing and figure-flattering silhouettes. A show-stopping strapless black gown with billowing ruffled bottom evoked a waterfall of verbal “wows” from the crowd before the room filled up with applause, and it wasn’t even the final piece in the collection to grace the runway.

    Artist and fashion designer Linda Kay is an Ojibway/Cree born in Red Lake, Ontario and now a member of the Seabird Island Band in British Columbia. Linda has had a strong interest in sewing and fashion from an early age.
    In 1996, Linda’s interest in designing native clothing was inspired by Carol Starlight Mason, a fashion designer from the Blood reserve in Alberta, who became Linda’s mentor and creative inspiration. Linda is known for her distinctive vests, coats, and jackets for men, women and children.
    Her most recent designs include formal wear and traditional dance regalia. Some of Linda’s designs are her own creations depicting her Ojibway/Cree heritage, and others are her interpretations of the Coast Salish/Sto: lo culture. She is inspired by various other First Nation artists and likes to promote and ensure their recognition.
    Ringing Bell Robes is the name of Linda Kay’s fashion line, derived from her Cree name “Kaysaywaysemat.” Her creations have sparked interest in communities across Canada and she has shown her designs in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Montana.
    A recent honor was being selected, along with 10 other First Nation designers from across Canada, to show her fashions at the National Aboriginal Music Awards and the Skydome Powwow held in Toronto, Ontario.
    Linda has been coordinating fashion shows since 1997. Noticing how her young models experienced such a sense of pride after participating in one of her fashion shows, she began a youth self-esteem focusing on image, teamwork, leadership, and modeling.
    The successful program gives youth a peek into the fashion industry and provides them with an opportunity to participate in a fashion show; either on the runway or behind the scenes.
    With a background in administration and Aboriginal Community Economic Development, Linda has dedicated the last 30+ years of her life to working in Aboriginal communities. Her goals are to continue working with First Nations people, jingle dress dance, teach her grandchildren about their culture, travel to new countries and open her own arts, gifts and designer wear shop.
