There weren't hundreds of fashion magazines and blogs. Everybody didn't copy everybody else and it was very individual. People were very creative with their clothes. Those labels were very, very, very exclusive and only wealthy people who lived on the Upper East Side wore them. Young people, unless you came from a ridiculously wealthy family, would never wear Chanel or Gucci. It wasn't label driven and the whole thing in the eighties is kind of a head scratcher. How would you describe the fashion in the city during this time? Ĭarrie wears everything from oversized robes to scrubs to latex (mind you, latex in the summer). A lot of Carrie's clothes, I realized, those were my own clothes, and that's the one thing that I did take directly from my own life and I had the scrubs. You take that inspiration and in the process of writing and you come up with something that is new that has its own energy and its own truth. I drew a lot from real life experiences of myself and people I knew. In terms of the time period, I'm 52 years old.
