Of all the fleeting love stories in Carrie Bradshaw’s life, the most meaningful romantic narrative in Sex and the City was the one of **Sarah Jessica Parker’**s star-crossed character and Manhattan itself. New York played a principal role in the legendary late nineties TV series, and it only make sense that Parker be shot with her costar Chris Noth (better known as Mr Big) for _Vogue’_s June 2008 story with the Empire State in plain sight. The city’s most beloved landmark opened its door to the public more than 80 ago years; as the world’s tallest building it stood as a beacon of possibility and innovation for the time. In honor of that quintessential Empire State of mind—and Carrie Bradshaw’s one true love—we take a look back at the fashion that made the moment then, with a view to evoking that chic city dwelling spirit right now.
