The Carrie Diaires Costume Analysis _ AMARIJASZ
Transcript
I know a lot of you are familiar with Sex and the City, but have you ever checked out its prequel? I'm talking about The Carrie Diaries. That's right. We're talking about young Carrie Bradshaw. So grab your coffee, tea or whatever makes you happy and let's get into it. OK, so for those of you who haven't seen The Carrie Diaries, it follows a young Carrie Bradshaw. Yes, the Carrie we all know and love from Sex and the City. But this time she's in her teenage years, navigating high school in New York City in the 80s. We get to see Carrie before she was an iconic, communist and fashionista we adore. And yet, oh, yet. And let me tell you, her style is just. So here's the thing. The Carrie Diaries was created to give us a little peek into Carrie's life before she became the woman we know from Sex and the City. And while yet it was designed to connect the dots between her teenage years and those fabulous moments we remember from the reality from the original show. It's really about her style journey. I mean, let's be honest. Carrie Diaries fashion is pretty much the heart and soul of the entire show. Her clothes aren't just clothes. They're an expression of her emotions, identity and her story. It's wild to think about how much fashion can tell you about a person, right? And I've got to talk about the genius behind the wardrobe. Eric DeMann, the costume designer, is a guy who worked on Gossip Girl and Sex and the City. So, you know, his work is top notch. For The Carrie Diaries, DeMann really nailed that 80s vibe. But made it feel fresh and modern. He used vibrant colors, bold prints and all these wild combinations to really capture the fun, experimental fashion of the era. And with Carrie, he really. And with Carrie, we really get to see her grow into herself, right? At first, she's rocking those cute, girly looks. Think pastel dresses and polka dots. But then she starts to get bolder. The more confidence she gets in her writing and relationships, the more daring her fashion choices get. It's like her clothes are becoming her voice, you know what I mean? Let's dive into the characters, because trust me, their wardrobe tells us much about who they are. Starting with Carrie, she's a main girl, of course. Her style is bold, quirky and so unapologetically herself. You know, the Mitch to match everything that makes no sense, but somehow totally works. Her signature look, that tulle skirt with the graphic tee or leather jacket. It's like she's saying, I'm feminine, but I'm also rebellious. It's like she's saying, I'm feminine, but I'm also rebellious. And it changes, too. At first, it's all about soft pastels and girly vibes. But as she grows more confident, her style gets more sophisticated and daring. It's everything. Then we have Sebastian. Hello, Austin Butler. His style is so effortlessly cool. He's got the classic 80s leather jackets, denim and graphic tees. But when he starts dating Carrie, you see him mix in some more polished pieces, too. It's like the perfect blend of rock and roll meets romance. I mean, who doesn't want to look that good? I mean, who doesn't want to look that good? I mean, who doesn't want to look that good? Now, let's talk about the others. Walt. Poor Walt. His wardrobe is all about understated, preppy vibes. His muted colors and classic styles truly reflect his struggle to fit in while figuring out who he really is. And then there's Dorit, Carrie's best friend. Her clothes, totally 80s teen. Bright, tailored, super feminine. She's a practical one, trying to be perfect while still dealing with her insecurities. Donna, okay, Donna's wardrobe is everything. Punk-inspired, lots of leather and graphic prints. She's a rebel at heart, fighting against the rules of society. And then we've got Jill, the ambitious one. Her style is a mix of preppy, sophistication and playful color. Always looking polished, but never too serious. Maggie's fashion is an evolution. At first, she's laid back. But as she gets more into Carrie's world, her style gets edgy. Big silhouettes, funky patterns and all the good stuff. And last but not least, Larissa. She's a free-spirited fashion editor. And her wardrobe is everything. Bold, high fashion, oversized silhouettes. She's like Carrie's style muse. Always pushing her to be herself. And I just love that for them. Now, I've got to mention some of the most iconic fashion moments. Like that time Carrie wears a voluminous pink tutu with a graphic tee and a leather jacket. It was such a moment of mixing femininity with rebellion. And I'm still obsessed with it. Oh, and don't get me started on the 80s prom dress moment. Every single look Carrie wears while writing in her iconic voice overs. They all just scream she's becoming the woman we know and love from Sex and the City. So yeah, the Carrie Diaries didn't become as huge as Sex and the City. But it definitely has a special place in the hearts of fashion fans. The show's fashion, a complete love letter to the 80s. But with the modern tits. That makes it feel so good. So fresh. And that's what I love about it. The way fashion and storytelling are so tied together. It's like every outfit is a clue to who these characters are. And it helps us fall in love with them even more. So what do you think? Did you love the Carrie Diaries as much as I did?
