This is a little miniature episode that is sponsored by Macy's.

So I've never done a sponsored branded episode before, and I promise I wouldn't do it if I didn't think you'd really like it, because this is who I got to talk to.

Well, the thing is, you're not just any costume designer.

You've worked on the most fashion-y things in the world.

Can you name some of the titles you've worked with?

I have.

There are a lot of different listeners to this program, some of whom will be like, oh my God, Pat Field, and some will be like, what?

Who's that?

Because so many of the...

projects you've worked on are like, they're about fashion.

Like these take place in the fashion world.

But I think a lot of people would be a little surprised to learn that a lot of these fashion shows come from underground artist figures.

I don't know if you'd want to call yourself that, but you're definitely much more in the alternative underground New York scene than like the.

The costumes for The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City were designed by punks and former club kids.

Back in the day, Patricia Field was a downtown New York fixture with her cherry red hair and her cigarette rasp and her

tendency to date younger women.

On 8th Street, Pat had a boutique that sold bedazzled hoodies and rhinestone bustiers and mirrored t-shirts and wigs in every color.

Everybody.

Keith Haring drew a mural on Pat's window.

RuPaul modeled for her.
