So we decided that we were going to go with a more retro style, rather than a more immediate fashion-y trendy style. And that also meant that we could reference the past in a way and reference the history of the characters.
Frances consistently wears '70s silhouettes, like soft blouses and printed midi-dresses. What drew you to that decade and style? When Sarah Jessica and I talked the first time, she was interested in the films of the late '70s and it's my favorite period to reference.
There was a film called ' An Unmarried Woman ' from ' She was just really drawn to the character [played by the late Jill Clayburgh] in that. Then I brought other films to the table, like 'Kramer v. And those became our go-to silhouettes. I didn't set foot in Bergdorf or Barneys or Saks. We did all the clothes from flea markets, vintage [shopping], eBay and Etsy.
We found pieces that were like comfort clothing almost for her — like the equivalent of comfort food — things that made her feel attractive and sexy, and yet they were part of the history of her life.
Frances in one of her oft-repeated winter coats. Because it's a winter story, I didn't want her to have 20 different coats in 10 episodes. I just wanted her to have two really important winter coats. There's a sense that she hangs it up on the door and she puts it on when she leaves.
It's the reality of a woman in New York in the winter. From the Manhattan Vintage show, that was a great resource. We started trying her in things, and saying, 'this feels right,' 'this feels real. We did a lot of micro-prints on silk midi-dresses.
The dresses were all vintage, and we were finding them in size 12 and size 14 and then having tailors dismantle them entirely and put them back together. Well, shoes are tricky with [Parker] because she's such a shoe person. We tried on a bunch of different vintage shoes, like green snakeskin shoes from and brown wooden heel boots from Then, of course, we had to throw in a Manolo here and there.
Just for fun. I noticed that she wears a lot of opaque tights. She's is all about rocking statement shoes to amp up a seemingly plain outfit. No problem—Simply hit the thrift shops, where you can find unique pieces for cheap. The latest it-style changes daily, so always attempting to look trendy can quickly empty out your wallet.
Instead, stock up on pieces you love and that reflect your personality, and simply have fun with different shoes, jewelry, or even head gear, like silk scarves. Never one to take herself seriously in life or in fashion, SJP is a great reminder as we age to still have fun, be creative and show our individuality through how we dress. She reminds us how to enjoy fashion at every age and not be afraid to change things up, but just a bit.
