- 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.
I was in HS/college when SATC came out and I very much tried to emulate Carries style!
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.
is a TV show after all. not reality
@@blurdreamer no doy. 🙄
you can look like that now....fast fashion like Zara copies runway looks on the spot now...Why do you think when a hot collection drops from a designer the first thing people say is "coming to Zara in 3 months"
@@jonnyfendi2003 if you think the Zara version looks like what SJP looked like in this series, you don't know fast fashion.
@@EverythingxYourexNot Zara has completely copied everything from Hedis SLP, to Phoebes Celine....get a clue
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
You’re too kind, your words truly made my day. Thank you so much Jinn 🖤
I agree!
Same!
@@CleverAndChic your voice is so glamourous and smooth like silk fabric

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.
Good observation! Very often, the character is a conflictual center for the writers' vision, the costume designer and the set designer works, as well as the actress' acting job and the director's vision. The integration of designer fashion in a script and on a set for a serie can be quite a challenge. It's normal to choose some outfits for ourselves based on our preferences and how suitable we perceive them to be for our own fashion taste. These combinations you suggest are usually how the costume designers work, with great talent, on smaller budget. Often, the brands will also lend some clothes from recent collections to get them showcased. Contracts are signed too. If actresses' agents negociate with certain brands, it will translates into contracts, gifts and checks.
I personally like to inform myself on the caracteristics of the models, the influences of the aesthetics, but as fashion and spaces are also made to be experienced and worn, the material culture we evolve is also supported by our understanding of its codes and uses. Not only by what is communicated on a visual level.
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.
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.
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.
Wow youre so unique and special, truly not like other girls!
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
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 😊
I bought an ‘inspired’ version of those open toe silver Manolos with the crystal brooch. I was obsessed with them lol
Finallyyyyy 🤭 worst character for the best wardrobe
I knew about SATC in 2004 when a friend recommended the show to me ; but I actually never saw the show. I even experimented the 2 movies and just this year I saw the thing. Wow Carrie was not really a good person
She is the most real human character ever
@@edwintovar1505 Debatable.
Great analysis! Im even gonna watch it again so I can take some notes.
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 😞
you may not like her as a character, but her fashion was and still is iconic
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 always love ur analysis on satc
I adoreeee your content would you be able to recommend some books to learn more about fashion sociology/psychology?
Have you done Fran Fine from the nanny?
What a funny title 😂 love it
Great video x
Great analysis
i think about carrie’s fur coat daily ngl
"carried away", you are sorry but i love hearing you say it hahahah
Can you make a style analysis of georgina sparks❤
Carrie has curly hair in the first seasons if the tv show only. In the later seasons, the movies and especially the "and just like that garvage, she wears extensions and her hair ia straightened and then curled..
She changes her hair constantly and goes back curly often, just like normal people. Hairstyles change babe.
Hey would you ever do a Cassie ainsworth from skins style analysis video?
can you do an analysis for charlotte, miranda, and samantha? thanks.
I’ve already covered the group together and done a Charlotte style analysis! I’ll be finishing the series with Samantha and Miranda 🖤
@@CleverAndChic thank u so much! ur such an angel🩷
@@CleverAndChicaaaaaah can't wait!!! 💕
@@CleverAndChicThank u for covering them as well.
Finally !
Plot twist: Carrie is older Serena so that’s where her money comes from 😂
@The Chic League With Michelle Magda Do A Style Analysis Video On Red Sparrow The Movie Came Out In 2018
Carrie's figure❤
Love ur accent where is it from?
Carrie was genuinely one of the worst dressed characters in tv history. Every outfit was obnoxious and over the top. So, my compliments to the costume designer, he reflected her character perfectly through the clothes
I liked her S1-3 (especially season 3) looks. But her style in the later seasons was ridiculous.
i felt this video was slower and less substantial than your channel usually is. maybe alternate between more academic/graphic videos and more personal/traditional youtuber videos? love ya
also, the promise of the title was not met.
I am sat
Great video, but the intro is to much. I had a hard time looking.
umm at the time Sex and the City was airing i doubt we every day women had any particular relationship with fashion for Carrie to ruin. On the contrary.
This show not only promoted conspicuous consumption, but dangerous sex with multiple partners in the age of AIDS. These women were run through making risky soul ties with many different men.
I stayed because I love the insightful content and your unquestionable forte on fashion and style while giving it a psychological Jungian twist, but the Kardashian vocal fry drives me a little nuts. 😅
The way she speaks…. I can t hear anything
They're not a native English speaker. Broaden your horizons 🙄
If you don’t like her speech patterns or tone of voice why not just click off the video and take your negativity elsewhere. My mom always taught me to keep unkind comments to myself, guess not everyone was raised that way. I love your videos Michelle, keep up the great work 💜
Is it fun bullying people online? Does it make you happier for a second, stepping on other people?
@@EverythingxYourexNot Idk, is it? Since you're the one attacking them for making an observation.
@@illiteratewench Clearly. Broadening your horizons doesn't change your ability to hear and understand someone tho?
Why does you just speak in a normal voice? Yes, most people know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs thanks.
yeh, I find the affectation very offputting to the point of being unwatchable...I have never made it through a video, I have to skip or put it on mute with the captions on. People will watch if the message has value - the creator put in work & it is interesting & well researched, or if it is entertaining....a very forced & pretentious delivery style is unnecessary & offputting. It sounds like a put on speech pattern to appear cultured, I get folk may need to code switch for their occupation, but when it's your own youtube channel, folk should be able to speak in their natural manner, when the forced manner, tone and a speech continues here, I wonder who is it for?
Maybe it is her normal voice? After being a subscriber of this channel and watching all her videos, the format has changed from when I first discovered it, as she now voices the content herself. She has always been consistent in her presentation style, tone of voice and analysis of fashion. No code switching here that I can detect. As a trained psychotherapist for over 40 years and familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, this is the first time I have ever seen it used in relation to fashion (which was my career ten years prior)...but, maybe you have different experiences with the psychology of fashion, if you do, please share because it fascinates me! Because of the psychological component of her content, I find her channel refreshing and more enlightening than the run of the mill ordinary fashion videos featuring dozens of “Haul Unboxing”, or dictating what style of blazer is on “trend”, how to tuck a sweater/buttondown/tee shirt/whatever, OR being told what NOT to wear, especially at my age. I think if you give her channel a chance, you may get more familiar with her delivery and be able to enjoy it more. Not picking a fight, but I’ve noticed in my past experiences with people or subjects that irritate me, if I deep dive into what makes me feel that way, I come to find they become some of my favorite people or experiences. With some other content creators, I’ve adjusted to their deliveries and now really enjoy their channels. Hope you can stick it out! 😘
@@CleverAndChic Your natural speaking voice/accent is lovely and soothing, and there's NOTHING wrong with it. I love listening to you talk.
I think this is the best video yet in terms of voice and presentation. It's not monotone, there's variety and energy. We can tell what words and what points she wants to emphasize. The words are clear and we can follow along. That's good!!
But why is the valley girl vocal fry...😢
Love the videos and the content but hate the eco and bad sound. 🫠😶 would be nice if you could improve that important detail. 😅
Thank you! I had upgraded my mic based on feedback. I’m learning how to use it as audio isn’t my forte, but I hope it’s going in the right direction and will be the best quality soon enough 🙏🏻
@@CleverAndChic 😊good luck with your videos and keep going! They’re very interesting! 💜
