Patricia Field, designer for “Sex and the City”, created a line for the Home Shopping Network that is pathetic on so many levels. Allow me to enlighten you:
1) These clothes are god awful. Red metallic pants? A tea dress made from your grandma’s old moo-moo? A shirt that has more shoes than you do? A shimmery rose top missing a sleeve? A little black dress decorated (or should I say dilapidated) by a hideous silver and gold tropical flower? Come on Patricia Field, you design for TV’s sex goddesses…none of your customers will get laid wearing these ugly things.
2) If you buy any item from the Patricia Field collection, you will get a free subscription to Vogue Magazine. Is Vogue really that desperate for readers that they will go as far as giving away free subscriptions to women who probably have never heard of the magazine? I’d buy the horrid metallic leggings just for the free subscription!
3) This one has got to be my ultimate favorite. Yes, you can pay for the Patricia Field collection through installments! Are you really dying to buy the ugly $29.90 turquoise pleated scarf? Only work 2 hours each week cleaning bathrooms at rest-stops? Not to worry! Three payments of $9.97 and the unsightly scarf is all yours! Yes, and you still get the Vogue subscription! But don’t get too excited…the shipping and handling fee of $6.21 is all due with the first payment. Looks like you’re going to have to skip out on the Starbucks for a few days!
Dior, Not War.
