Sarah Jessica Parker: Pumps, Purses
and Serious Profits – Building a Fashion Empire One Step at Time
Presented by Sarah Jessica Parker
3:30 – 4:30 p.m. | Building 3, Floor 2, Main Stage
Sarah Jessica Parker, who came to symbolize single living in New York City in her role
as Sex and the City protagonist Carrie Bradshaw, slips out of her character’s shoes to take a real-life leap with an eponymous lifestyle brand that speaks to her fashion sense and adoring fans. Parker’s fascinating career—an ever-expanding entity comprised of acting, production, and now fashion design—is making a serious imprint in the luxury retail category she helped revive. Parker’s footwear, apparel and accessory collection, SJP, launched in 2014 and has recently expanded with the opening of her first brick-and-mortar store located in the
new MGM Resort in National Harbor. In an intimate Q&A, Parker talks about her journey from actor to successful lifestyle brand and creator, shares the toughest lessons she’s learned at retail, and teaches us how to gather the courage to dive headfirst—or step one stiletto at a time—into entrepreneurship.
