“Sex and the City” overkill took a backseat last night at LACMA in Los Angeles, where Patricia Field participated in a Q&A session hosted by the museum’s Costume Council and Los Angeles Times fashion critic Booth Moore. Seated before a sold-out auditorium of fans, the Emmy Award winner elaborated on style secrets from the film and divulged details about her signature look. “I’ve never been into fashion,” she confessed, “but I’ve always been into old Hollywood.” That would explain the revelation of a teenage crush on Ava Gardner. And her comparison of Sarah Jessica Parker running to Fred Astaire dancing. Also revealed: Field’s favorite place for sourcing unexpected finds is an annual trade surplus show in Las Vegas, and she’s working on a collaboration with Brit retailer Marks & Spencer that will debut in October. We caught up with her after the talk and asked her if she’d always wanted to be a stylist. “Oh, I don’t know. My mother wanted me to be a lawyer, but I just wanted to be rich.” So who would play Fields in the biopic? Sip of vodka, followed by several seconds of silence. “Amy Sedaris!”
