From the June 12th US Weekly:
STYLE CITY
THE SEXIEST WOMEN ON TV
IN THE THREE SEASONS IT HAS GRACED SMALL SCREENS, HBO'S Sex and the City has emerged as television's most stylish show. In evidence are the nameplate necklaces that have appeared between the collarbones of fashion divas from coast to coast and the number of Fendi baguette bags seen dangling from elbows. But its not just Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda who are trendsetters: The women who portray them have been getting attention for their offscreen styles as well. In fact, each actress's real-life wardrobe bear a striking resemblance to what she wears onscreen. The similarities make us wonder whether life is imitating art or vice versa. Only their stylists know for sure.

How Nameplate Necklace fashion got started? They were popular with teenage girls in the 1980's, Carrie from Sex and the City, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and many other artist have revive the look. A humorous nod to your high school days. back then it was a sign of pubescent narcissism, now it's retrochic. When Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker ) started sporting a name plate necklace, that signature of 80's teen style suddenly began appearing again on women of all ages. Sex and the City stylist Patricia Fields, who first put the necklace on Carrie, says she was inspired by customers in her downtown Manhattan clothing shop. The necklaces were popular among high school girls 20 years ago, then were embraced by late 1980's rap culture, along with diamond studded rings, as a display of wealth. because they were made to order, the necklaces are usually sold online, the nameplates can be affixed to chains or hoop earrings as well as necklaces. - By Kate Kelly ( Time Magazine )
