Iconic costume designer Patricia Field rang in her 80th birthday with a surprise fete courtesy of Pretty Connected’s Lara Eurdolian.
Field, who is the visionary behind the curated closets of “Sex and the City,” “Emily in Paris,” “Devil Wears Prada,” and “Younger,” was shocked to see her closest friends like Fern Mallis, Kelly Cutrone, Miss J, Orfeh, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Anthony Haden-Guest, and Leah McSweeney at Fig 19 to toast to her epic b-day.
Guests sipped on custom cocktails crafted with Curamia Tequila and Kastra Elion Greek Vodka paired with Q Mixers as an homage to Field’s Greek roots. Le Coqtail, Bev, and Bronx Brewery also supplied alcohol. Custom pizza pies by Williamsburg Pizza spelled “Happy 80th” and “Pat Field” in ricotta cheese and Moet crystalized personal bottles in honor of Field.
While Field’s actual 80th birthday was on February 12, the forward-thinking fashionista was currently filming Season 2 of “Run the World” and waited until the nice summer weather to celebrate with good vibes. And the party sure paid off thanks to the intimately luxe LES speakeasy!
Fashion stars Robert Verdi, Ryan Raftery, George Wayne, Erika Alexander and The Blonds posed in luxe looks while Broadway actress Orfeh led the “Happy Birthday” song with a special performance by Dai Burger.
“What a surprise this was for me,” Field gushed of the “unbelievable” event. “I’m so happy and I hope you’re all as happy as me.”
Each attendee was gifted a limited edition Patricia Field x Pretty Connected ICON charm to commemorate the special event, which was also filmed for an upcoming 2023 documentary celebrating Field’s legacy and career.
