YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Fashion SATC reboot And Just Like That… costume designers spill behind-the-scenes fashion secrets By You Magazine - December 16, 2021 After months and months of waiting, the most anticipated piece of TV is finally on our screens: the Sex and the City reboot series, And Just Like That… Unlike the whole season drops we’re used to these days, this series is coming at us in weekly instalments, eking out all the Carrie Bradshaw goodness. Getty Images As well as that truly shocking first episode (and Peloton’s subsequent retaliation), we’re also heavily invested in the on-screen wardrobes of Carrie and co. As was always hoped, the outfits of our leading ladies are just as fabulous as they were in the original series. Thank goodness. The show’s costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago worked closely with SATC‘s original costume designer, the legendary Patricia Fields (who couldn’t commit to the project fully due to being busy working on Emily in Paris), to get the mood just right. Danny Santiago spoke to E! about how they evolved the main characters’ looks to their mid-fifties age range in 2021 – and first, they went even bolder. ‘One thing we did want to do, because of the time and coming out of Covid, we wanted to really make things happy and bright and have fun that way. I think, if anything, you will see some more colour surprises.’ Getty Images They also had fun ‘finding new designers, finding new people, new accessories, and things like that to incorporate into their wardrobes,’ explained Molly Rogers. ‘What we thought would be daunting would be the stores that we loved that had closed, smaller stores and large stores like Century 21 that you literally lived in that store when you did episodic television in New York.’ Of course, as much as we love to see the return of our favourite characters, with the world of SATC it’s as much about witnessing the return of certain iconic accessories and pieces of clothing, like Carrie’s studded ‘Roger’ belt or that purple sequinned Fendi purse. Getty Images ‘We were so lucky that Sarah Jessica has an archive of almost everything,’ Danny said. ‘She kept all of these beautiful pieces that people have so much love for. These pieces were so important they played such important roles in the show and the movies. The fans love these things. They are like characters in the movie and the fact that she has them, we thought, what a great way to bring them back out again? That people are going to be able to see and appreciate it and love it and pick out.’ As for how the wardrobe fittings for And Just Like That… go? ‘There’s bubbles in the refrigerator, but we stay sober for the fittings!’ said Molly.

Kill: It goes outside on the reject rack,’ explained Molly. She also revealed that SJP’s editing process is often very fast, as she ‘has a very refined, quick eye.’ ‘She’ll linger on something and be like, “Hmmm, I wonder where I could wear this because it’s odd or it’s really different or I’ve never seen that.” She wants to know where we found it. I think her curiosity and her knowledge, she will try on anything because she wants to see if it will work.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Rochelle Humes has launched a gorgeous new edit with Next Shop the YOU Magazine Instagram YOU picks the best new-in buys from M& S Popular in Fashion Laura Jackson has teamed up with Next for the chicest knitwear January 22, 2020 Holly Willoughby’ s birthday dress is another Zara bargain February 10, 2020 The Instagram-famous & Other Stories wool blazer is back in stock August 31, 2022 Lorraine just wore Emma Willis’ Next collection from head to toe March 17, 2020 The prettiest spring dresses under £100 March 1, 2022 Everyone is buying Holly’ s gorgeous gingham Oasis dress May 14, 2020 13 bargain dresses to buy in ASOS’ s extra 20 per cent June 10, 2020 This £20 H& M dress is set to be the social media June 26, 2020 Stacey Solomon x Primark is back for a third collection with July 20, 2020 Searches for this perfect heatwave summer top style are up 5000% August 10, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
