Movie critics have torn apart the new Sex and the City movie, and I've heard a lot of adjectives like "shrill", "shallow", "self-involved", "ditzy" and "materialistic" floating around IMDB in reference to Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. The New York Times goes as far as to report, "It's that awash in materialism and narcissism, a cloth flower pinned to her dress where cool chicks wear their Obama buttons, this It Girl has become totally Ick." I don't know many cool chicks who'd wear a politician's button anywhere on their Chanel blazers, but that's just me.
Despite the film's obvious fluff, fashion writers are almost unilaterally positive about the film, particularly in the important areas of shoes, handbags, and general wardrobe. With such a wealth of categories to work with, who cares about plot, characterization, and dialogue?
What I loved most about the movie were, of course, the to-die-for sky high Christian Dior shoes (pictured below) that Carrie Bradshaw, by some miracle, affords on a paltry writer's salary. Who cares though, as long as we get to see the shoes!
Get the Extreme Dior Gladiator Platform at eLuxury, yours for just $770. But for those, like me, who don't have magical jobs that allow them to own a closet more comprehensive than a Saks Fifth Avenue, Steve Madden's knock offs aren't so shabby.
Seriously, I adored the movie. Vivienne Westwood's wedding dress brought tears to my eyes.
