History of the garment
Although the skirt became a fashion legend on television, it was not always well regarded by the production.
It was learned that the producers of the series had refused to let Carrie wear a tut to be introduced to viewers. Designer Marc Jacobs revealed in an interview in 2017 that there had been talk of the protagonist wearing a sky blue dress from her signature, the same one that model Kate Moss wore in the spring 1998 show.
However, Patricia Field insisted on a garment that was timeless and recommended the piece to Parker. The actress was enthusiastic and that was how the tut remained.
Field confessed in his memoirs that he found the skirt in a box of clothing that was on sale for five dollars in the Garment District of New York.
“A white tulle appeared like the foamy crest of a wave in a sea of disposable items,” he says in the autobiography.
The character wore the skirt again Sex and the City: La pelculawhich hit the screen in 2008.
