Why You Will Never Have a Closet Like Carrie Bradshaw | Style Analysis - Sex and the City 

You may not like Carrie as a character but I just love her fashion especially in the first seasons. I love the way she mixed different patterns and silhouette.

My main problem is that she seems to work a couple hours a week at most, but then dresses like she has the salary of 3 successful people. Not to mention living expenses in NY. We all could be as stylish as her if magically we had thousands of dollars to throw at our wardrobe seemingly every month.

Dear Michelle, Please do not change the sound of your voice. I am a huge fan of the way you speak. Your voice may not be usual (at least to me) but it fits with your aura. It definitely lends a very elegant vibe to your videos that I don't see much anywhere else. Personally, I think is a part of you that you should be proud of. It is something that makes you different and interesting. And very beautiful too. Respectfully, Jinn

Haven't finished yet, but I'm going to have to reject the idea Carrie ruined my relationship to fashion. I feel that most people aren't stylish and don't have a personal style unique to themselves. Most people really just do what everyone else is doing. They wear what is trendy/popular, what the runway tells them, what influencers tell them. Most people are TERRIFIED to dress differently, stand out, rebel, or be weird and it shows. Carrie is a true maverick. She knows exactly what her style is and no-one else can do it. I admire that and do the same thing. I've never once stepped outside and seen a copy of my outfit. Most people are basically clones of those around them (family, friends, etc). When you stand out in your fashion, you're like a red rose in a sea of white daisies. The only people threatened by a swan are the boring ducks. If her powerful form of self-expression "ruins" someone's relationship to fashion i can't imagine they had any fashionable point of view in the first place. Even if i don't get some of her outfits, i can still respect the stylistic individuality and the bravery/fun she's having with it. Carrie was a trendsetter. The masses follow trends because they can't think for themselves. Icons set the trends and do what they want. Just look at all the ridiculous tiktok "aesthetic" videos. The viewers literally watch these videos, buy the entire wardrobe in the videos, and then feel "stylish." They're copy cats. It has no personality or individuality. It's more like a costume, which will inevitably be thrown away and replaced with the next popular trend the following month. This isn't something a truly stylish person would ever do since their style comes from within and anything they wear will have their signature mark.

I myself have adopted some of her outfits. The meaning is not to copy a style literally but to adapt to your own style and personality. You don't have to buy expensive brands to get an exclusive style. You can combine cheap and expensive with second hand, for example. Despite the flamboyant clothing style, her interior design of the home is completely opposite. Calm, natural colors such as brown, beige, creamy white as a base, wooden furniture, leather. It can say a lot about a person's personality! Even though I don't like several of her character's traits like smoking, waste of money she doesn't have, way she treats her girlfriends and destructive immaturity, I've had a lot of fun with SATC.

Ignore the haters. I love the way you speak. You can’t please everyone being yourself, nor should you. Everyone who puts themselves in the public eye will get criticism. Some can be constructive but most will be judgmental. It’s best to be discerning and delete comments that aren’t generating good will, especially when you’ve spent hours on quality work.

Thank you for articulating the link between her fashion and her personality. Carrie Bradshaw definitely had a childish way of doing life. The time she farted in bed for example and got completely mortified by it wa the silliest reaction that showed the severe depth of her insecurity and inability to just relax and be a person. She was so invested in playing a certain character to Big and she had a collapse of self esteem when he married Natasha, comparing herself unfavourably to his choice. She was someone who should have sat in a therapist's chair for longer and her penchant to shop away negative emotions should have been addressed.

Yay I’m so glad you switched back to narrating your videos yourself, your voice was always one of the things I loved about your videos it goes so well with the topic and aesthetics

Such an insightful video! I especially appreciate how you highlighted the downsides of consumption as coping -in the era of internet shopping, we don't have the barriers of physical place to slow us down. We really do need to be more consciously thoughtful of whatever impact our purchasing can have on ourselves and others.

Thank you for this insightful video, my favourite of yours so far. I have a psychology degree and I loved the use of Maslow in this context in combination with a deep dive on Carrie and her foibles. I have always found her style lovely but confusing! Keep up the good work 😊

Great analysis! Im even gonna watch it again so I can take some notes.

Dear Michelle, I love your content, and I am so grateful for your fantastic analysis of exceptional female icons and film heroines. With Carrie, I have zero admiration, not like I have for Beth Harmon, for example. I never understood the excitement for Carrie 😞

I bought an ‘inspired’ version of those open toe silver Manolos with the crystal brooch. I was obsessed with them lol

I adoreeee your content would you be able to recommend some books to learn more about fashion sociology/psychology?

As usual, your angle to analyse the character brings a lot to the table. Thanks again for all of your work. It's interesting to see how some characters represent a static personality, with a dynamic sense of fashion, while others can have dynamic personalities with a more static, traditional or classic clothing design. There is a true expressivity to achieve within the limits of our budget and ethics/morals to help us to convey meaning borrowing from culture and fashion.

I always love ur analysis on satc

Finallyyyyy 🤭 worst character for the best wardrobe

Have you done Fran Fine from the nanny?

What a funny title 😂 love it

i think about carrie’s fur coat daily ngl

Carrie was genuinely one of the worst dressed characters in tv history. Every outfit was obnoxious and over the top. So, my compliments to the costume designer, he reflected her character perfectly through the clothes

"carried away", you are sorry but i love hearing you say it hahahah

Great video x

Carrie has curly hair in the first seasons if the tv show only. In the later seasons, the movies and especially the "and just like that garvage, she wears extensions and her hair ia straightened and then curled..

Carrie's figure❤

Great analysis

Plot twist: Carrie is older Serena so that’s where her money comes from 😂

can you do an analysis for charlotte, miranda, and samantha? thanks.

Hey would you ever do a Cassie ainsworth from skins style analysis video?

Great video, but the intro is to much. I had a hard time looking.

i felt this video was slower and less substantial than your channel usually is. maybe alternate between more academic/graphic videos and more personal/traditional youtuber videos? love ya

@The Chic League With Michelle Magda Do A Style Analysis Video On Red Sparrow The Movie Came Out In 2018

Finally !

People complaining about how she can afford these clothes there is a thing called credit card

Love ur accent where is it from?

This show not only promoted conspicuous consumption, but dangerous sex with multiple partners in the age of AIDS. These women were run through making risky soul ties with many different men.

umm at the time Sex and the City was airing i doubt we every day women had any particular relationship with fashion for Carrie to ruin. On the contrary.

I am sat

I stayed because I love the insightful content and your unquestionable forte on fashion and style while giving it a psychological Jungian twist, but the Kardashian vocal fry drives me a little nuts. 😅

The way she speaks…. I can t hear anything

Why does you just speak in a normal voice? Yes, most people know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs thanks.

Can you make a style analysis of georgina sparks❤

Love the videos and the content but hate the eco and bad sound. 🫠😶 would be nice if you could improve that important detail. 😅
