1998年首播的經典美劇《Sex and the City》在這25年間塑造了一代人對愛情、性、家庭、工作以及最重要的友誼的價值觀,這樣說可能稍微有些誇張,但劇中四位主角CarrieSamanthaMirandaCharlotte的女性形象和紐約故事確實啟蒙和影響了許多人,她們之間的對話總能帶給觀眾共鳴和趣味,時尚風格更是一直給時尚界帶來永恆靈感。儘管這部劇集並不以女性主義掛帥,但它仍然探討了女性主義相關的話題。

四分之一世紀過去了,世界早已是翻天覆地的變化,但重看這個發生在千禧年前後的故事,讓人真切感受到那個時代人們對未來新世界的樂觀心態,無論好壞,她們努力面對生活和享受人生。雖然遺憾的事情是,她們四人不能在最新《And just like that…》劇中完整重聚,但回看《Sex and the City》,許多經典畫面和造型師Patricia Field 為主角們設計的造型仍是歷歷在目,她們的談話內容也仍舊被人們引述,這樣看來,說這部劇是一代人的集體回憶也不過份。劇中這些女性是如此鮮明、自我、性感、複雜、甚至有些膚淺和荒唐?但也是可愛的。她們身處在紐約曼哈頓相互陪伴和支持,一起度過人生不同階段,彷彿也反映了這個世界每個真實的人的內心面貌,她們談論愛情、約會、性愛、情緒、男人、工作⋯⋯說給彼此的話似乎也是說每一位信仰女性主義的人們聽,無形中給予一代人最溫暖的安慰和情感共振,亦透過時裝等一系列元素,向所有人展示她們可以做自己和成為自己喜歡的樣子。
