Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker

[lucy92]

hmmn, im begining to think that maybe SJP WAS planning on doing a SATC inspired line. but maybe the HBO people asked her not to. not too long ago there was a story in WWD that said that clothing lines inspired from shows like entourage and SATC were in production or in the planning stages (the entourage clothing line has since been released)

and im not sure what SJP's relationship with patricia field is like either....

anyway, just a theory.

'who turns 42 in two weeks'? Never knew she was that old!

SJP is one of those people who seems eternally young (not that 42 is actually old!).

I am starting a new job and need to use all my vacation days before I leave, so I am taking Thursday off. I just realized that is the day her line comes out! I a going to be one of the firsts through the gates!

I like the purple hoodie! At $15 bucks, I'd totally buy it.

This collection is basics, but that's not such a bad thing. Everyone needs basics, and cheap basics are great!

 

[russh_kris_z]

I think the clothes are great actually!! hHAH as usual xP

 

[kissmesweet]

^^ They are?

Looks like something out of H&M... SJP is a fashionista!--and this line doesn't quite show that...

I definitely agree, but from what she has said, I think her intention was just to bring simple basics to the masses. In one interview, she specifically mentioned that she isn't trying to claim that she is a high fashion designer label. I was actually pretty impressed by that. You have the J Los and Jessica Simpsons who are creating poor quality garbage and are trying to pass themselves off as wonderful designers. That being said, it would be cool if SJP threw in a few original "Carrie Bradshaw-ish" pieces in there for us too!

^ I agree, if SJP made this line like Carrie Bradshaw it would have crazy expensive and somewhat unwearable pieces. Bitten has wearable basics that are cute and reasonable, what more can a girl ask for?

Can I get an AMEN?!

 

[MicheleIman]

^ Amen!

from what i understand the two were very chummy during the show and pat worked exclusively with sjp while other members of her team dressed the other characters...

the two of them seem to share a quirkiness...
if she did a sex and the city line i think it would be stepping on pat's toes...
no?...that should be pat's baby...imo...

She is?...
I know Carrie B was...
and SJP does well styled by others on the red carpet...
but anytime I have ever seen her dress herself it has been very basic.
Lots of cargos and t's.

I think so many people get her style confused with that of her alter ego.

let's face it, she looks great when there's someone in charge of her wardrobe. on S&TC, any award show..she doesn't really choose what she'll wear! if you see pics of her on the street she'll look boring as hell, straight out of a GAP ad

 

[xmodel citizen]

^ Exactly. People have this idea that celebrities are fashion gods, when in reality, they have a team of people picking and editing what they wear on the red carpets. She may get dressed up for those events, but in real life, she's more likely to dress down because she's taking care of her child.

OK, I went to the opening today in Charlotte. I got ther at 9:30 but the store didn't open until 10. The first girl in line got to speak to SJP on the phone! Then the store manager held up the phone and made us all yell out, "THANK YOU!" to SJP. The first 50 people through the door got a a $25 gift card. I must say, I loved the clothes. As far as basics go, they rocked. I got a navy, brown, and white t-shirt with knotted cap sleevs, two pairs of shorts, pajamas, a black jacket that will be great for work in the fall, a headband, and a black and white polka dotted tee. The dresses run pretty small and so do the shoes, fyi. I was not impressed by the bags and shoes at all. I thought they looked kinda cheap. LOVED everything else though!

here are some pics of the folks lining up for bitten in NYC from racked.com

more photos of the store from racked. the store's layout even looks exactly like old navys!

 

[cosmogrl5]

^ I figured that NYC would be even crazier! I seriously have never been trampled like I was today. People were loading their arms like nuts with merchandise and were attacking the same racks. I'll admit that I almost threw some chick down myself. LOL.

My store said they expect to completely sell out of all their merchandise today.

As someone who really wanted to stay away from criticizing this line, because I feel that Sarah Jessica's heart is in a nice place with it, I hate to say that the collection was hit or miss at best.

I picked up the black dress with white polka dots and although the material feels a bit cheap it really fit like a dream and did not look cheap. Also I did like the cut of the Ts and the thin material is actually what I prefer for little T shirts just to wear around.

I sadly had to put back two shirts that I tried on because there were holes in them already. Mind you, not holes in the seams from being tried on all day, but actual holes in the fabric already.

I am currently wearing the white shirt with black polka dots and elastic around the sleeves, keyhole, and little pearl button- and I can tell already tell I will be adjusting this all day.

Hmmmm...I just don't know how to feel about this collection now!
