Patricia Field is the designer who put Carrie Bradshaw in that tutu and gave Miranda Priestly that hair. She is, in an overused word, iconic. But even if the name is unfamiliar to you, you know her work, and “Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field,” directed by Michael Selditch, is coming soon to dig deeply into her life and career. The documentary will cover her legendary and eye-popping designs as they’ve been brought to life in countless films and television series, and the list of friends, fans and collaborators assembled is lengthy, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Lily Collins, Kim Cattrall, Michael Urie, Darren Star, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Vanessa Williams, and many more. When it hits your local arthouse cinema or streaming platform — the home of so many contemporary fashion documentaries, bless them — dress up in something wild to watch it.
