NOHO — Fashion icon Patricia Field is closing her eponymous clothing boutique after 50 years in business, according to reports.
Field, a costume designer best known for her work on "Sex and the City," plans to shut the Bowery boutique and online store in the spring so she can relax and pursue other projects, the New York Daily News reported Monday.
“I’ve enjoyed the game ... but I’m getting tired, because the store] has grown to such a size,” she told the tabloid. “I want to open my social life back up, and go to the gym for a swim every day. I can’t do normal things anymore, and I’m feeling it.”
Field did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The boutique has been a go-to shopping destination for celebrities, “in-the-know ‘scenesters’” and fashion-forward customers since the red-haired fashionista opened the store in Greenwich Village in 1966, according to her website.
The shop moved to East Eighth Street in 1971, where she ran the business for 30 years before purchasing her current 4,000-square-foot shop at 306 Bowery in 2012, the Daily News reported.
