Well, isn't this a big shock to everyone involved! After the
news that
Kath & Kim would be being given the
questionable American makeover treatment in the midwestern malls comes word that
Sex & The City stylist and House Of Field designer Patricia Field will be the show's "
stylist".
Yes, you read that correctly: a stylist for the foxy morons.
"Confidential believes Field has signed to be the stylist on the soon-to-be produced series. Field was last week in Australia, before flying out for the New York premiere of Sex and the City.
Kath and Kim sources said Field was hand-picked by producers to create the right look for the American series."
Hmm... I love Field (particularly her "
Lookin' C--ty" items), but the best thing about
Kath & Kim was the - ahem - particularly Deborah K/Seven Angels/Best & Less aesthetic that the show's costume designers were able to come up with; this
interview with costume designer Kitty Stuckey is great on that topic.
Kath and Kimmy don't need a stylist, their lack of style is the point of the show! Gosh!
