In the 1990s, while Vogue covers dictated trends and the catwalk was filled with names like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, a fictional character became one of the biggest style influences of the era: Carrie Bradshaw. But behind her Manolos, her sex columns and her walks through Manhattan, there was a real woman. And she didn’t live on a film set, but in the heart of the New York scene: Candace Bushnell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candace Bushnell was born in 1958 in Glastonbury, Connecticut. At the age of 19, she moved to New York with a suitcase, few savings, and a fierce determination to write. Her first major job came at the New York Observer, where in 1994 she began a weekly column called Sex and the City. In it, Bushnell poured out her own experiences and those of her circle: failed dates, complex relationships, endless nights and a sharp\u2014and sometimes uncomfortable\u2014view of romantic life in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sarah Jessica Parker brought Carrie Bradshaw to life on screen, much of her personality, style and environment were directly inspired by Bushnell. Like Carrie, Candace lived alone in a small flat, spent much of her income on fashion and shoes, and frequented restaurants and clubs that are now part of the New York City landscape of the 1990s. The pages of her column became a mirror of urban life for a single woman with ambitions but no clear roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
