Louis Vuitton Brings Back the Sprousemeister
Find more photos like this on Fashion Indie
Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are celebrating the late Stephen Sprouse by reintroducing his line of handbags. Collection is set to hit with the launch of a dedication site, welovesprouse.com which will feature interviews with Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Fields, all friends of the late artist.
“It almost becomes a classic, like a Chanel jacket, or a smoking,” said Marc Jacobs of the artists use of graffiti and day-glo. “It’s this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock ’n’ roll, edgy, street-informed style. Sprouse really best personified it.”

Sneak Peek: Payless Designers Holiday ‘08
This winter’s Payless designers holiday collections include shoes from Patricia Field, Lela Rose and Abaeté. The Patricia Field ones look like the only shoes I’d get close enough to inspect. The other ones are a little blah to me…

First Look: Patricia Field for Marks & Spencer
Patricia Field for Marks & Spencer just hit stores in the UK and online.
Of course, it’s hard not to see Carrie Bradshaw in the “Destination Style New York” collection. I only wish the accessories were a little more special.

I’m Over It: Female British Comedy Duos with Zany Fashion Sense
I keep seeing images of Selma Blair and Molly Shannon from their new series Kath & Kim. I’ve never found Selma Blair interesting, but I was excited when I heard Patricia Field was doing wardrobe for a new show — until I saw the pictures. I haven’t seen it or its British counterpart, nor do I plan to.
I get it, they’re dysfunctional, quirky, zany, kooky, suburban, etc.
Generally I LOVE British comedies. But this seems like Absolutely Fabulous all over again. I tried to like the show. Really. I’m sure someone will freak out when they read this. I’ll give it another chance, though; it’s been a few years. Maybe I was too young to “get” it. But I remember the clothes. I guess I can get all the skanky irony and humor of wearing such outfits. But … I just can’t get behind this. It’s all a little played out, and I prefer creativity over kitschy.
P.S. Did Kath & Kim even make it past its first episode?

Fashion Quotable: Pat Field
Patricia Field finally admits what we’ve always suspected about styling: it’s bullshit.
“It’s easy, it pays well and you don’t have to worry about inventory [as you do when running a store]. For me, it was like a windfall, because in retail you have to work very long hours and often don’t make much money. But [with styling] they’re paying you all this money to put clothes on a few people. I was like, wow!”

You Too Can Look Like Carrie Bradshaw For Three Easy Payments, Plus Shipping!
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!
