All right! All right! Let’s not all panic.
We know Sex and the City fans are already polarized on the prequel series, The Carrie Diaries. But just because there’s some television tampering going on doesn’t mean it has to be bad tampering.
Even though Carrie Diaries will tell the life of a high school Carrie Bradshaw, producers promise they have no plans to turn it into a miniature Sex and the City.
Executive producer Amy B. Harris screened the premiere episode at New York City’s School of Visual Arts this week and said:
“We didn’t want to do the Baby Muppets syndrome ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ ‘Oh it’s baby Samantha! It’s baby Miranda!'”
But she did promise there would still be some enticing “easter eggs” planted for SatC purists to enjoy. And surprise, surprise — most of those will come in the form of fashion!!
Costume designer Eric Daman worked with SatC’s Patricia Fields for three seasons of the iconic HBO series, and he admits:
“I know that there are a lot of women ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ a lot of people around the world ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ who hold Carrie Bradshaw as this fashion icon. So to be able to go back in time and pre-design who she is and lay the DNA of where she is going is very important.”
Eric also styled the actors of Gossip Girl, so he knows more than enough about fantasy Manhattanites! And we can’t can’t can’t wait to see what he has in store for AnnaSophia Robb and the gang.
