In this video, we will be analyzing Carrie Bradshaw's fashion from Sex & The City to explore how Carrie Bradshaw changed women's relationship with fashion forever. There is no fictional fashion icon more à la mode than Miss Carrie Bradshaw herself, who states Vogue "fed" her more. However, behind the kitschy vintage thrifts sported with haute couture on girl's nights out in the bustling urban jungle is a woman struggling with self-esteem and at odds with her own identity, glamorized by the covetable Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle that left viewers wanting more. #SexAndTheCity

By breaking down Carries’s style by going over the key components of some of her most iconic looks and delving into her fashion sense in relation to her mental state, we will gain a deeper understanding of how Sex & the City changed the way fashion is utilized in real life, how we see others, and even ourselves as we look in the mirror to get dressed each day. #fashionpsychology

You may not like Carrie as a character but I just love her fashion especially in the first seasons. I love the way she mixed different patterns and silhouette.

Dear Michelle,
Please do not change the sound of your voice. I am a huge fan of the way you speak. Your voice may not be usual (at least to me) but it fits with your aura. It definitely lends a very elegant vibe to your videos that I don't see much anywhere else. Personally, I think is a part of you that you should be proud of. It is something that makes you different and interesting. And very beautiful too.
Respectfully,
Jinn

My main problem is that she seems to work a couple hours a week at most, but then dresses like she has the salary of 3 successful people. Not to mention living expenses in NY. We all could be as stylish as her if magically we had thousands of dollars to throw at our wardrobe seemingly every month.

I myself have adopted some of her outfits. The meaning is not to copy a style literally but to adapt to your own style and personality. You don't have to buy expensive brands to get an exclusive style. You can combine cheap and expensive with second hand, for example.
Despite the flamboyant clothing style, her interior design of the home is completely opposite. Calm, natural colors such as brown, beige, creamy white as a base, wooden furniture, leather. It can say a lot about a person's personality!
Even though I don't like several of her character's traits like smoking, waste of money she doesn't have, way she treats her girlfriends and destructive immaturity, I've had a lot of fun with SATC.

Ignore the haters. I love the way you speak. You can’t please everyone being yourself, nor should you. Everyone who puts themselves in the public eye will get criticism. Some can be constructive but most will be judgmental. It’s best to be discerning and delete comments that aren’t generating good will, especially when you’ve spent hours on quality work.

Haven't finished yet, but I'm going to have to reject the idea Carrie ruined my relationship to fashion. I feel that most people aren't stylish and don't have a personal style unique to themselves. Most people really just do what everyone else is doing. They wear what is trendy/popular, what the runway tells them, what influencers tell them. Most people are TERRIFIED to dress differently, stand out, rebel, or be weird and it shows. Carrie is a true maverick. She knows exactly what her style is and no-one else can do it. 

I admire that and do the same thing. I've never once stepped outside and seen a copy of my outfit. Most people are basically clones of those around them (family, friends, etc). When you stand out in your fashion, you're like a red rose in a sea of white daisies. The only people threatened by a swan are the boring ducks. If her powerful form of self-expression "ruins" someone's relationship to fashion i can't imagine they had any fashionable point of view in the first place. Even if i don't get some of her outfits, i can still respect the stylistic individuality and the bravery/fun she's having with it.

Carrie was a trendsetter. The masses follow trends because they can't think for themselves. Icons set the trends and do what they want. Just look at all the ridiculous tiktok "aesthetic" videos. The viewers literally watch these videos, buy the entire wardrobe in the videos, and then feel "stylish." They're copy cats. It has no personality or individuality. It's more like a costume, which will inevitably be thrown away and replaced with the next popular trend the following month. This isn't something a truly stylish person would ever do since their style comes from within and anything they wear will have their signature mark.

Yay I’m so glad you switched back to narrating your videos yourself, your voice was always one of the things I loved about your videos it goes so well with the topic and aesthetics

Thank you for articulating the link between her fashion and her personality. Carrie Bradshaw definitely had a childish way of doing life. The time she farted in bed for example and got completely mortified by it wa the silliest reaction that showed the severe depth of her insecurity and inability to just relax and be a person. She was so invested in playing a certain character to Big and she had a collapse of self esteem when he married Natasha, comparing herself unfavourably to his choice. She was someone who should have sat in a therapist's chair for longer and her penchant to shop away negative emotions should have been addressed.

Such an insightful video! I especially appreciate how you highlighted the downsides of consumption as coping -in the era of internet shopping, we don't have the barriers of physical place to slow us down. We really do need to be more consciously thoughtful of whatever impact our purchasing can have on ourselves and others.

Thank you for this insightful video, my favourite of yours so far. I have a psychology degree and I loved the use of Maslow in this context in combination with a deep dive on Carrie and her foibles. I have always found her style lovely but confusing! Keep up the good work 😊

As usual, your angle to analyse the character brings a lot to the table. Thanks again for all of your work. It's interesting to see how some characters represent a static personality, with a dynamic sense of fashion, while others can have dynamic personalities with a more static, traditional or classic clothing design. There is a true expressivity to achieve within the limits of our budget and ethics/morals to help us to convey meaning borrowing from culture and fashion.

I bought an ‘inspired’ version of those open toe silver Manolos with the crystal brooch. I was obsessed with them lol

Dear Michelle, I love your content, and I am so grateful for your fantastic analysis of exceptional female icons and film heroines.

With Carrie, I have zero admiration, not like I have for Beth Harmon, for example. I never understood the excitement for Carrie 😞

Yeah the whole heartbreak thing with binge eating. I've done that. Not sure if it has anything to do with subconsciously watching stuff like that on TV. It's just the urge I got at times. I've have gone through extreme bouts of non-stop eating, to no appetite and no hunger. So it would either be a Non-Stop eating bottomless pit and/or then just be living life like a snake like I'm not even supposed to be eating for a whole other month, except it's an empty stomach and I don't feel the hunger.
