Hall of Fame: Patricia Field
Patricia Field has always done things her way. With a career spanning 45 years and counting, the designer, stylist and
boutique owner built her reputation by creating her own blueprint. “If
you asked me who I looked up to from the beginning of my career, I would
say no one,” Field said. “I didn’t see fashion that way. I felt
fashion.” On the other hand, Field has clearly inspired others
in the industry. “As a designer, everyone loves her because she does
what designers dream of doing: putting together eccentric pieces,” said
designer Christian Siriano. “Any designer would love to have Patricia
pull for one of their projects because that means she thinks it’s
interesting, creative, new and special.” George Malkemus, president of Manolo Blahnik USA, said Field’s ability to stay ahead of trends puts her in a unique class. “She always has an extraordinary take on what’s happening on the street
before anyone else in fashion,” he said. “She embraces young ideas and
young people in a way that very few people in fashion do.” - - Read more
