With her signature fire engine red hair and eccentric accessories, Field is a maximalist through and through.
So I was intrigued to ask her what she thinks of the recent trend towards minimalism.
“It’s true, I’m not much of a minimalist, personally. However, fashion is a form of self-expression; a reflection of personality. So, if you feel ‘minimal’, by all means, dress accordingly,” she said.
“Fashion is also a reflection of the time, and we’re arguably living in pretty dreary times these days. So maybe that’s a part of it too.”
As she looks back at her career, and reflects on the whirlwind it has been so far, Field was adamant about one thing: she wouldn’t change a thing.
“One thing I don’t do is regrets. It’s good to learn from the past, but always focus on the future. Regrets will get you nowhere fast.”
Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field will be screened at Event Cinemas, George St, Sydney on Thursday February 22.
