The actress, who performs the role of Mindy Chen, a former nanny who is now an aspiring pop singer in the Netflix series, has been dressed by two different and significant fashion geniuses, which she has not taken for granted. Ashley exclusively spoke to E! News about the renowned Patricia Field, the costume designer for S*x and the City, and said, “It’s been so surreal to have the opportunity to work with the iconic Patricia Field.”
She added, “I always look forward to our fittings which could last hours because of all the incredible outfits that I get to try on that I normally wouldn’t get the chance to.” Field was replaced by designer Marylin Fitoussi in season two, and according to Park, this only aided Ashely and as well her character, Mindy’s fashion journey. “The character of Mindy comes alive during our fittings,” she said.
“Similar to myself, my character Mindy also loves to experiment and push the boundaries when it comes to fashion and I’m grateful that we get to express her personality and story through fashion.” Park now has a greater appreciation for the whole fashion industry as a result of Mindy’s particular style research. Ashley revealed, “This show has inspired me to delve into the history and power of fashion and ateliers, as well as stabilize me in my own fashion sense, as Mindy does so well. It really is a dream come true.”
Park recently collaborated with the Starbucks Coffee Break-away campaign, which encourages individuals to spend more time with those who matter the most. “A new study even found that three out of four people find it difficult to be present in their daily lives and are twice as likely to struggle to be present with their closest loved ones.”
Park shared, “compared to more casual relationships, so it is a larger issue that we all need to be conscious of.” Park made sure to have some of her favourite pick-me-ups on hand while filming the series. “I made sure to grab some Starbucks ready-to-drink Nitro Cold Brew before I flew to Paris to film,” she said. “Starbucks is actually what I order from in Paris if I’m ever feeling homesick. And it’s one of the few places that I can get an iced coffee in Paris.”
