“Surround yourself with beautiful, talented people – and enjoy it.” Greenwich Entertainment in NYC has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film called Happy Clothes, which also goes by the full title Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field. This one originally premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year, and it also played at both the Denver & Boulder Film Festivals. Enter the colorful world of Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated Patricia Field (known as Pat), savvy retailer & costume designer behind Sex and the City, Emily in Paris, Ugly Betty, and The Devil Wears Prada. A queer, first-generation Greek-American, this fiery redhead defied the odds to become a fashion icon. The doc features interviews with Kim Cattrall, Lily Collins, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael Urie, Vanessa Williams, and many others. Set for a US release on VOD and in theaters in September this fall. Reviews say the film is full of “joy” and it’s a “rabbit hole of Field’s acid-colored creations.” This is a must watch for anyone who loves fashion or costume design.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Selditch’s doc Happy Clothes, direct from YouTube:
Via Tribeca: “Carrie Bradshaw’s tutu. Miranda Priestly’s hair. Betty Suarez’s red-framed glasses. Even if you haven’t heard of Patricia Field, there is no doubt you’re deeply familiar with her legendary designs.

Take a walk down memory lane with Field and her endless list of friends, team members, and collaborators to see how some of the most memorable film and television costumes came to life.” Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field is directed by American indie writer / filmmaker Michael Selditch, director of the movies Fixing Frank and Eleven Minutes previously, plus work directing on the TV series “Risky Listing”, “Catfish: The TV Show”, “I Love You… But I Lied”, and “American Style” most recently.
