THE CARRIE DIARIES

It’s always the same dream. I’m in the city and I belong. Manhattan is mine.

Though The Carrie Diaries was set in 1984, it debuted in 2014, meaning that the look of the show had to feel modern enough to be worthy of its stylish predecessor while also paying homage to the historical era - which Christina calls “aspirational authenticity”.

LARISSA'S LOFT

Larissa, an editor at Interview Magazine, becomes Carrie’s mentor, and her brick-walled high-ceilinged loft is exactly where a young up-and-comer like Carrie might aspire to reside. Christina imagined that Larissa, a party animal, “took the loft over from a wealthy over boyfriend and is slowly bringing in her own things.” It’s filled with eclectic fabrics and pieces, some of which are likely “souvenirs from photo shoots.”
