Sarah Jessica Parker swears she’s not addicted to shoes
The Sex and the City actress tells STYLE about her latest HBO project and the shoe collection she launched with Net-A-Porter
“It’s amazing; no matter how many times I answer this question, people still think I have a shoe addiction,” Parker says. “I don’t shop much, to be honest. I buy a lot of used clothes, for my children as well.”
It’s quite understandable, though, Parker was spoiled with possibly the world’s most desirable wardrobe while working on the set of Sex and The City for six years – from 1998 to 2004, followed by its two cinematic adaptations in 2008 and 2010.
“As an actress, I’m always in costumes,” Parker says. “I have a relationship with [clothing] that’s meaningful and very important, which has changed the course of my life.”
The series features 16 styles of colourful satin heels and flats featuring a slender Grosgrain stripe at the back of the shoe. The signature detail is inspired by hair ribbons Parker wore growing up. “I have easily tried on thousands of pairs of shoes and I really learned how things are done and why they are done,” Parker says. “I really learnt about quality and efficiency. So when the opportunities presented themselves, I decided to start my own company.”
