The Patricia Field ARTFashion Gallery has quietly closed on the Lower East Side

An EVG tipster shared the above photo showing the papered-over windows at the Patricia Field ARTFashion Gallery on East Broadway, along with a "closed" sign in the window. 

There's no mention of a closure on the Patricia Field Instagram account or website, though Google now lists the shop as permanently closed. 

A well-placed source confirmed that the boutique has shut down — a move that "came as a surprise to everyone." The online store will remain operational. 

The legendary costume designer, who turned 85 last month, graduated from NYU in 1963. She opened her first shop, Pants Pub, on Washington Place in Greenwich Village, in 1966 at age 24. 

Field later operated longtime retail spaces on East Eighth Street and the Bowery. Her film and TV credits include Sex and the City" and "The Devil Wears Prada."

Her East Broadway outpost opened in the fall of 2024. 

Here's a video from Nelson Sullivan, from the mid-1980s, showing the Field shop on Eighth Street...

    Nelson Sullivan, the very first videographer and EV's best documentarian. He captured the East and West Villages in their heydays. And look at Lisa E ! The Club Kid before she was an actress.
