Sarah Jessica Parker is bringing trendy shoes, clothes and handbags to the city, joining with Manolo Blahnik's CEO, George Malkemus to launch a collection in early 2014.
The "Sex and the City" starlet is taking on a business partner and the title of "designer " once again to create the "SJP" collection, according to New York Magazine. The assemblage will consist of $200-$300 single-sole pumps and flats, around $700 bags and trench coats, sold exclusively at Nordstrom.
And one may easily guess just where her fashion sense comes from in spades.
She finds inspiration in none other then her famed TV character, Carrie Bradshaw. "I got to play that role, I wore a lot of shoes...and by default I learned an enormous amount."
This education comes down to one word, Manolos, reported New York. And the "Sex in the City" star, who Forbes recorded to have earned $15 million as of May 2012, learned much from her previous fashion foray with Steve & Barry for her Bitten Line.
The blonde multitasker told Vogue that this new project is far from unexpected. "In a silly way, I think it's what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw," she said.
"It's sort of soup to nuts," she continued. "You put on a shoe and you put on a coat and you wear a bag and, on the outside, when you're walking down the street, they really can tell the same story about yourself."
As for more specific details about the collection, Parker offered those up, too.
"We're putting new colors together that people don't typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet," she added. "And in terms of bags, thinking about that period in the seventies and eighties, what those women were carrying, taking away the bells and the whistles and the hardware and really making it about the bag."
Parker and team will produce the highly-anticipated and expected-to-be-stunning collection in New York City and Europe.
UPDATE: On Friday, Manolo Blahnik clarified that neither the company nor Manolo himself is involved in the SJP partnership.
