First Look: Patricia Field for M&S

We could hardly contain our excitement when, back in May at the height of the SATC movie fever, M&S announced that they had persuaded costume designer Patricia Field to create an exclusive collection for them. The range is set to hit stores next month, but we've been given a first look at some of the pieces - and we can share them with you.

Field, best known for creating the much lusted after wardrobe of Carrie Bradshaw and friends, has produced a range every bit as glamorous and individual as you might expect, distilling her very own brand of New York cool into something effortlessly wearable - and right on trend for the coming season. We love the classic bronze shift, guaranteed to be a wardrobe classic for seasons to come, and as the LBD is an autumn essential we predict that the black fitted dress will be flying off the shelves.

The range marks the first time that high street giant M&S have worked with a guest designer and judging from our sneak preview we're sure that shoppers will be clamouring for more. If you want to see the rest of the collection then head into your nearest M&S store or visit their online shop at the beginning of October when the clothes and accessories will be hiiting the rails.
