I told New Zealand’s @coupdemain Magazine “Working on ‘Sex And The City’ was like earning a PHD in costume design…”

Costume designer Eric Daman in the fitting room of 'The Carrie Diaries' in New York City.“Patricia Field pushed the boundaries of style on television with a certain level of embellishment that brought to life a portrayal of character that can only happen through clothing, while Sarah Jessica Parker was a stickler for proper fit, without which a petite actor can be easily gobbled up by her garments.”

THELUXELIFE.COM: TOP TV FASHION LIST

Mad-Mentheluxelife_logo_150x62THE LIST: TOP FIVE TV FASHIONS
By Jennifer Choy

It all started with ‘Sex and the City’ … Maybe it was when Carrie wore her infamous tutu while prancing down the streets of New York that we really started noticing that show’s fashions. But, for whatever reason, we never stopped. Costume designer Patricia Field, who likely lived in relative anonymity, became a household name and television fashion was never the same. Can I get an amen?!

Though ‘Sex and the City’ is long gone, our obsession with TV fashion has remained. We seem to care as much about the clothing worn by our favourite television characters as we do about character development and plot-lines.

So forget about the runways, let’s take a look at some of the most stylish television [characters] to hit the airwaves… (+more)

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmlzkVlVNZw&w=640&h=340]

CONTEMPORARY LABELS WITH SIGNATURE VINTAGE ACCENTS

So far I’m best known for my work outfitting the Upper East Siders on Gossip Girl, and now of course, I’ve risen to the challenge of outfitting a young Carrie Bradshaw in the new CW series The Carrie Diaries. This isn’t my first encounter with the character of Carrie — I worked with Patricia Field on several seasons of the original Sex and the City! Popsugar invited me to visit their NYC studio to chat about what you can expect on The Carrie Diaries, including a mix of contemporary labels with vintage and some of Carrie’s trademark personalized accessories.

XOXOE!

THIS MAN IS RECREATING CARRIE BRADSHAW’S CLOSET

Eric Daman Costume Designer for "The Carrie Diaries" prequel to "Sex in the City" on the CW.

NEW YORK MAGAZINE | 01/11/13

When the CW announced it was making The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to Sex and the City, it was a no-brainer that they called on 42-year-old Eric Daman to be the show’s costume designer. Ten years prior, working as…

WE WANTED #THECARRIEDIARIES TO HAVE A MODERN FEEL AND NOT JUST BE OVER-THE-TOP KITSCHY

The Carrie Diaries stars Annasophia Robb as teenage Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City prequel; Eric Daman is the costume designer for the series. Scottie Bag by Mark Cross.

As the costume designer of the new ‘Sex and the City’ prequel, I’m mixing high and low looks, fast fashion with vintage —and a healthy dose of haute couture, of course! Stay tuned for touches of TopShop and dashes of Dior (and Alice + Olivia, Marc by Marc, Collette Dinnigan, Mac Duggal Coutoure, M Missoni, Forever 21, Intermix, Coach, Comptoir de Cotonniers, H&M, Eva Franco, Mark Cross, and Zara, to name a only a few)!

Annasophia Robb stars as the teenage Carrie Bradshaw in the title role of The Carrie Diaries; the original Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker; Eric Daman, who assisted Patricia Field on Sex and the City, is the costume designer of The Carrie Diaries series.

“It’s so much fun to see the fearless choices Carrie makes,” Annasophia Robb recently gushed to Leah Faye Cooper of The New York Post. And added “What makes [Eric Daman] so good at his job is that you can’t tell what’s $800 and $20.”

The Carrie Diaries stars Annasophia Robb, with Freema Agyeman, both shown here in a range of outfits (created by The Carrie Diaries costume designer Eric Daman) including clothes by TopShop, H&M, Collette Dinnigan, Mac Duggal Couture, Dior, Coach, Intermix, Robert Rodriguez, Eva Franco, to name a few.

I grew up in the ’80s, and I loved ’80s fashion. It was kind of a turning point for just being wild and free and expressing yourself! So for me it’s about identifying how we think of who we already know as Carrie Bradshaw versus who she could have been as a teenager in the ’80s and invent continuity between the two.

XOXOE
