Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker

I don't care what anyone says...I think it looks pretty decent. I'd buy quite a few of those pieces.

If you're a college student on a small budget or someone just starting out after school, this is yet another option for you. I don't mind a bargain myself. And good for them for extending the line to size 22.
 
It's cute and price reasonably for what it is, and she did look pretty sharp in that black suit.

Totally agreed. And the clothes surprisingly enough, look better on the real women than they do on the models. It's just another example of how it's not just about the clothes, but how you wear them. People here seem to forget that some of us are poor as hell and have to find things here and there to build our wardrobes. Anything under $20.00 is a dream, especially coats and dresses, which thankfully, are the strongest part of this "collection". They, along with some of the tops, would make decent building blocks in a fiscally-challenged person's wardrobe. And it was quite genius of her to make it available in plus-sizes which means more $$$$
 
i have to say i am shocked, speechless, ashamed... i had absolutly no faith in this collection... and here i am watching this pict that dont look bad at all, they fit the women well... all of it under $20... i am wowed!

i cant believe i am saying this but yay! for SJP
 
Are those bags a part of her collection? I really like them. Too bad I don't live near a Steve & Barry's. The closest one to me is nearly 2 hours away.

Is the collection available now?

this is what celebrity lines should look like. Instead of them beeing so not affordable.
I think she did a great job and am sure she s gonna have a great success with this line.
 
not bad! nothing to make my heart race, but hey, i'm looking for a basic vest and i could probably pick it up through sjp's line this summer...and honestly, those bags don't look so bad. i'll wait till i see them in real life...
 
i had written this off because i thought, "steve and barry's? never even heard of it!". but apparently i've neglected to notice that i work about 1/8 of a mile from one. :innocent: anyway, i only want the houndstooth coat. it is definitely a Stella ripoff but it looks pretty cute.
 
I was skeptical at first, but after watching her on Oprah, I must say that I am very excited to check it out when it hits the stores.
 
I have to say that I think the line is really nice. I just finished watching Oprah (had to record it since I wasn't home much yesterday) and not only does Bitten have a wonderful spokeswoman in the always charming Sarah Jessica Parker but her enthusiasm and me seeing the clothes myself proved that the idea was a good one.

Its clean, basic, affordable and most of all cute. I can say that I will definitely add a few pieces from Bitten in the mix with my other affordable and cute clothes.

I think what I love the most is that everything is enough to either wear as is or to use as a base to add accessories. :flower:

the houndstooth coat looks really thin. it is 19.98 it seems to me to be a rip off of stella mccartney's "jazzin" coat.

No, it is more a rip off of H&M's wintercollection last year (that again might be a rip off of Stella).

I wore this last winter from H&M (my pic:(

Front Row
‘Sex and the Mall’

By RUTH LA FERLA

AS Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City,” Sarah Jessica Parker flaunted her style sense — and coy sexuality — making Manolo mules, skimpy tanks and ballerina skirts must-haves for aspiring fashion divas. Now Ms. Parker joins Madonna and Kate Moss, among others, as the latest media star to affix her name to a cheap-chic fashion brand.

Next week, Ms. Parker will introduce her sportswear label Bitten at the 200 Steve & Barry’s stores, a mall-based merchant selling university logo sweatshirts and licensed clothing from Marvel Comics and Coors beer. Inspired by her personal closet, the 400-piece collection will offer stretch wool-blend suits, shirts in cotton voile and poplin, as well as little black dresses, cashmere sweaters, handbags and skivvies.

“This is not just another celebrity vanity line,” said Howard Schacter, a partner in the venture. Nor would it be, he added, a short-term initiative. “We’re building our women’s business on this.”

He insisted that she has been involved in the design, “on her hands and knees with pins in her mouth.” What will the clothes actually look like? Well, since embracing motherhood, Ms. Parker, the winner in 2004 of a Council of Fashion Designers of America fashion icon award, says she has sworn off crass display. “There’s not going to be any inappropriate midriff showing, regardless of your age,” she likes to tell reporters. “I feel like, as a culture, we have seen enough damage done by it.”
 
haha that last quote in that article from SJP is so dramatic...like she's talking about war or something.
 
i think her statements about the line are overly dramatic as well. its almost as if she is trying to pre-empt criticism of the line. images from elle.com

i wonder if anyone will try to ebay their bitten items after june 8th...:rolleyes:

review from fashionwire daily. i'm glad to see someone call a spade a spade!

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Renata Espinosa
New York

If you’re a die-hard Carrie Bradshaw/“Sex and the City” fan, maybe, just maybe you’ll like the new Bitten collection that Sarah Jessica Parker attached her name to for mall retailer Steve & Barry. But if you were a fan of Carrie’s designer duds and Manolo Blahnik fueled dreams, save your money instead.

Like the recent Kate Moss collection for Topshop, Bitten is a collection that stems from Parker’s personal style, with pieces from her own wardrobe serving as inspiration.

Refusing to give interviews at Wednesday night’s launch in New York was probably a wise decision on the part of Sarah Jessica Parker and her publicist, as it turns out, because there’s not much to say about this bland line of mismatched basics. Case in point: a tailored waistcoat paired with knickers made out of sweatshirt material shows clear evidence of fashion schizophrenia.

For those in need of another cheap pair of khakis, another cheap t-shirt or another vaguely bohemian camisole top, the collection will be available starting June 7th in Steve & Barry stores nationwide. All items retail for $19.98 or less.

“Fashion is not a luxury, it’s a right,” is Bitten’s call to revolution, but if this is the best in “fashion” that can be offered to the masses, perhaps there should instead be someone rallying for savings accounts so that people might actually acquire something for their wardrobe worth the high price of the gas they’ll use up driving to the mall to purchase it.

i dont' know who renata espinosa is trying to impress with her dramatic review...
but in my personal opinion...
this look is the most inspired one of the group...

clearly the target market is high school and college kids....
you can tell by the clothes, the models and the styling...
so what are you expecting?...stilettos and evening gowns...??
this is what kids wear to class....
it's simple, it's easy to care for and it's functional...
plus it's budget friendly for poor students...

it is what it is...
and it is really VERY SJP...
if you see her around town on her off time-- this is what she looks like...
comfy and cute...
and maybe a little quirky...
ie- a vest w/cropped sweatpants...!!
* hell-I'VE worn that!!!

come on...:lol:...

enough with the dramatic review....
:rolleyes:
