Sarah Jessica Parker (born March 25, 1965), is a Golden Globe and Emmy winning actress and an Emmy-winning producer, with a portfolio of television, movie, and theatre performances. She is best known for her role as newspaper relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO television series Sex and the City which we all know and love.

SJP is considered an icon in the world of fashion. She still appears in many “Best Dressed” list in certain magazines. A lot of people attribute SJP style and fashion icon status to Patricia Fields who was the stylist on the SATC set. This may in part be true but, I think it is not just what you wear but the way you wear the clothes.

SJP has also become the face of many of the world’s biggest brands. In August 2003, Parker signed a highly lucrative deal with Garnier to appear in television and print advertising promoting their Nutrisse hair products. In 2004, she fronted an international campaign by Gap. In 2005 SJP launched her own fragrance aptly called “Lovely”.

Just this week it was announced that she will be launching her own fashion line called Bitten. It will be for mass retailer Steve & Barry’s. It is called Bitten as this reflecting SJP’s new-found love for the Steve & Barry’s stores. The range will go on sale across the U.S from June 7, with every item priced at $19.98 or less. The collection plans to cover a woman’s entire wardrobe and will include over 400 items of apparel, accessories and shoes including casual and classic lines as well as trend- focused pieces.

The reason for this range SJP said was that, “women should be able to wear great clothes and not lie in bed at night feeling guilty about how much money they’ve spent. High quality, luxurious clothes do not need to cost as much as we’ve been led to think”.

“Fashion is not a luxury. It’s a right” she said.

GO SJP…that is why we love ya.
