For Sarah Jessica Parker, Carrie Bradshaw's Clothes Stay With the Character

Sarah Jessica Parker still has the clothes Carrie Bradshaw wore on "Sex and the City," but she told Variety she has not worn any of them herself. Parker said she keeps a clear line between herself and the woman she played, and the wardrobe stays on Carrie's side of that line. She keeps the pieces as an archive of the role, not as part of her own closet. Here, where costume work is part of everyday professional life, readers will know the difference between clothes made for a character and clothes a person chooses to wear.
