  • Does this dress look familiar? ๐Ÿ’ƒIt was designed by Melbourne-born USA-based fashion designer Richard Tyler. It is from his `Resort 2001' collection, which was inspired by the flora of the Caribbean Islands. ๐Ÿ

But its claim to fame - It was worn by actor @sarahjessicaparker as Carrie Bradshaw in the television series 'Sex in the City'. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป

The dress featured in the series three final episode 'Cock a Doodle Do'. According to Tyler, the show's stylish Patricia Fields was shown the dress and thought it was the perfect dress for the scene. As the scene involved falling into the Central Park lake, two dresses were used. One of the dresses was sold for charity in 2001 for $2500.00, while the other one, this one, was retained in the personal collection of Ms Parker, who donated it to the Museum in 2003.
