I feel a sort of moral obligation to critique my iconic (albeit fictional) namesake's fashion choices . . . While we mere [stateside] mortals will have to wait until tomorrow to witness the resurrection of HBO’s wildly popular TV series on the big screen, fashion insiders have already shopped the pun-laden, Manolo-filled Carrie Collection.
WWD gave the film’s fashion a lukewarm review on Friday, citing Carrie’s 
schizophrenic style: “For half of the film she comes off as a polished, uberfashionable grown-up; the other half, she's the quirky, experimental fashion trailblazer/victim.”
schizophrenic style: “For half of the film she comes off as a polished, uberfashionable grown-up; the other half, she's the quirky, experimental fashion trailblazer/victim.” Indeed, the pictures tell the same story. The former failings are embodied in the pajamas, white booties and oversize fur getup donned by the main character in the snowy scene pictured at the left. The latter version (and the Carrie many gals aspire to emulate) is encapsulated by the chic black and fun floral ensembles shown opposite the fashion disaster.
