A Glove Seen Around The World
From Sex and The City and The Devil Wears Prada to Younger and Emily in Paris- Patricia Field is well known as the legendary costume designer behind some of the most influential fashion shows and movies of the past 30 years. Before and alongside this, however, just as many knew her from her roots as a New York City designer, curator, and owner of the ‘Patricia Field’ and ‘ARTFashion’. She has built a name for herself through the curation of an iconic store filled with alternative styles and artistry. Of which, attracted many creatives and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Her flamboyant designs and devotion to fashion made her name synonymous with style well before entering into film and television.
When Patricia Field went looking for a glove for Lily Collins’ character in Emily in Paris, she had the backing of 50 years working as a designer to help her to achieve her vision. And achieve it she did, after fruitlessly searching for a glove that would work for season two’s wardrobe, Field could not find the piece that fit within her concept for Emily’s costume design. So she shifted her search. With the show about to start filming and the deadline for costumes fast approaching, Field began looking for someone that could produce the exact glove she had in mind before time ran out.
Enter our founder, Melissa Meister. Through the friend of a friend, a call was made and Field asked Meister if Seymoure Gloves had the ability to create a custom glove. Not just any glove, if we, at Seymoure, could produce a selection of colors to be handmade and shipped off to Paris under an incredible deadline. The answer was yes and thus ensued a flurried rush of fabric swatches being sent over, designs made and modified, and a small batch of sustainably made gloves shaped to fit Lily Collins’ petite hand being sent to Paris.
The gloves were a perfect fit and the Love Your Look collaboration was born. Comprised of eight uniquely colored fingerless driving gloves called the Emily Glove and three Leather Sleeves dubbed ‘armwear’ by Patricia Field, the collaboration is a beautiful melding of Field’s legendary personal style, the elevated costuming for Emily in Paris, and the ethical artistry of Seymoure Gloves.
