Costume designer Eric Daman, who burst out onto the fashion scene when he worked as a guest stylist on ‘Sex and the City’, served as the primary stylist for ‘Gossip Girl’ throughout the shows six seasons. Audiences watched on as the popular, wealthy teens of the Upper East Side sauntered around the streets of New York, intermingling in each other’s lives and sparking scandalous drama that was broadcasted throughout their social circles by an *unknown* blogger. It was during these six seasons that Daman referred to his training under Patricia Field, the world famous ‘Sex and the City’ stylist, who he has heralded as the inspiration for his designs in ‘Gossip Girl’, as she was known for “pushing the boundaries and expanding the character through clothing.”
