Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field
Directed by Michael Selditch
United States
2023
100 mins


Happy Clothes is a candid, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the creative process and career of costume designer Patricia Field, whose vision has impacted fashion and pop culture for 60 years.
She opened a store in NYC in the 1960s when, as a gay, female, first-generation American, everything was lined up against her not to succeed. But Field proved to be a savvy businesswoman, and her store became a destination for travelers from around the world for 50 years.
A two-time Emmy-winning costume designer, Field is best known for her work on Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada, and other films and TV shows.
