Just when you thought it was goodbye "Sex and the City" forever, we hear the news of a movie in the works. Then, we learn about a new show, based in New York, around four women, who are also to be styled by SATC wardrobe guru Patricia Field, "Cashmere Mafia." I instantly thought: someone is trying to reinvent SATC, and I'm not so sure how I feel about that. I want to embrace the possibility but I am also a slave to SATC and believe it can never be duplicated. Emulated, yes. That is what I see here.
Now that both productions are in the works, we have the inside peek into the SATC wardrobe and the Cashmere Mafia costumes. Already, I see fabulousness - that would be the brilliance of Pat Field - but I also see similarities. It's obvious Lucy is supposed to be the quirky one (Carrie), which doesn't always fly, Bonnie Somerville is the powerful blonde (Samantha), and then you have the elegant brunette and token redhead. Am I being critical, or is "Cashmere Mafia" the new Fab foursome?

SATC!!
1i can't wait to see the cashmere mafia.
2cashmere mafia is the stupidest and most contrived name for a SATC rip-off series. couldn't they have named it ANYTHING else?
3SATC stands alone. cashmere mafia who? or what rather?
4I don't care for Lucy's outfits so far. SATC and Cashmere will be different in many ways but I'm sure there will be things that will stand out as being a SATC copy. www.TheCashmereMafia.com
5I'm curious to see the cashmere mafia but I'm afraid it will only be a copy of SATC. Even if it appears to be a good copy, a copy is still a copy and it might lack the original touch.
6I don't like all of the similarities
7i think they're all stylin'. i like lucy and and sarah so no complaints here. i can't wait for both.
8Both! I'm looking forwards to seeing the fashion on this show!
9Why do people keep trying to reinvent SATC? Just let it be! The other shows/books are just like cheap knock offs.
10Why is there not a brown girl in the show?
11They can NEVER duplicate the chemistry that SATC had (has). I will watch the first episode only because I like what Pat Field does for the wardrobe department, but I'm not holding my breath on if it's going to be good.
12Why is everyone comparing it so much..we haven't even seen in yet,
13SATC is the original...but I love me some Lucy Liu..so it will be interesting to see what this show brings
14SATC reigns supreme!!!
15im just glad to see something in NYC with more than just middle aged single annoying white women!!
16They need to back off SATC!
17only satc is the best!!!
18They are so trying to remake satc. Seriously people, if your going to steal someone's ideas, at least be a little more discreet about it.
19I think you want it to be a rip off. So far the only similarities that I can see are the stylist and the fact that it stars are four females. It's not like SATC trademarked four women in nice clothes. Get over it, you haven't even seen it yet. And what do you mean 'Why do people keep trying to reinvent SATC'? Ummmmm... Who? And when? I think you're dreamin.
20That's what everyone said about Desperate Housewives before anything had seen it. What are the similarities between SATC and Cashmere Mafia? The stylist, it stars four women, it is filmed in NYC. It's not like SATC trademarked any of these things. Get over it, you haven't even seen it yet.
21ASnd what do you mean "Why do people keep trying to reinvent SATC"? Ummmm... Who? And when? I think you're dreamin sweety.
WTF? Sorry, my first message didn't post so I retyped and then they both posted. My bad..
22so far i'm not into mafia's clothes... but i might change my mind after video presentation when show comes out
23HAha Sunshine, I was wondering the same thing. It's great there's an Asian woman being portrayed as stylish and successful but you never find a show really with Black women doing the same.
Back to the show, I will probably watch it but SATC holds my heart forever. Plus I don't really like Lucy
24Nothing will ever be like Sex and the City again. Not in my heart, anyway!
25Both.
26You can't beat the originals
27LOVE SATC. I don't know how Cashmere Mafia will compare- I guess I will see it if it is the winner.
28I think the original will always be the best... But I'm looking forward to something new too!
29i dunno... i don't think lucy liu will star in something that's a knockoff. like someone said, ny & 4 girlfriends don't exactly spell copycat. they might focus more on their work life unlike satc. i think everyone should wait & see after it comes out.
30SATC are the one and only original fashionistas. Cashmere Mafia are trying but it's looking godawful right now
31SATC are the one and only original fashionistas. Cashmere Mafia are trying but it's looking godawful right now
32I love SaTC but I can't wait to see Cashmere Mafia.
33SaTC FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
34However I will give the Cashmere Mafia a chance.
SATC- it was the original and anything that comes after is working on someone else's idea.
35OliveBlack - Someone else's idea... it is being made by the same director of the last one. So maybe he is just extending his ideas into this show that he didnt bring to the forefront of SATC? www.TheCashmereMafia.com
36I don't want another SATC, but I do? Haha, I just wanna see the clothes! Btw, is it Sex AND the City or Sex in the City? Because HBO's site confuses me, lol.
37i hope all of their personalities are atleast different
38but nothing will everrr compare to the chemistry in satc
hmm I have to say that I like Cashmere Mafia's wardrobe much more than the SATC's
39maybe I was to young for SATC then, and now I'm more 'fashion aware' who knows
All of the girls in Cashmere mafia have their own style and dress impecibly. in SATC Carrie was the only one with the adventerous sense of style. Alot of times the SATC girls were really borderline tacky.
