A legend is leaving us

Patricia Field's store on Bowery officially closes in 15 days. It's been a staple outpost for me since I arrived in New York 9 years ago. I always buy my sunglasses from there along with several special occasion outfits. Pat, a native New Yorker, is one of the world's greatest fashion visionaires. She was the costume designer behind Sex and the City and Devil's Wear Prada.  She has been in business since 1966. Granted her shop moved locations once but to have this icon closing up shop is a very sad day.
