NEW YORK — PATRICIA FIELD’S deep and smoky voice echoes through a cavernous photo studio where she has been readying the cast of “Cashmere Mafia” for their publicity stills. Field whirls onto the set with magenta hair, turquoise frame spectacles and her fists full of vintage leather belts. She is debating which belts the show’s four leads should wear. In the end she decides to mix it up. She is very good at mixing it up.
To call Field a costume designer is an understatement. She is, after all, the woman whose work on “Sex and the City” turned the groundbreaking cable show into a weekly catwalk. Tutu skirts, flower brooches and nameplate necklaces have never been the same since. And the Manolo Blahniks? Without Field, they wouldn’t be a household word.
