Smitten with Bitten

Style icon Sarah Jessica Parker has taken her passion for fashion to a new level! This summer, she's launching Bitten—her own low-price, high-fashion line available exclusively at Steve & Barry's stores. Everything in the collection comes in sizes 2–22 and costs less than $20!
"It's about affordable, well-made American sportswear. It's about fashion not being a luxury," she says. "It's really, really important to us that it be good, feel good, have a life, that it make a difference in your life and that you have money left over to live."
