Sarah Jessica Parker's fashion line "Bitten" has received the same response from fashionistas around the globe: boring

Fashionista.com noted "We're surprised by the line's lack of signature shapes/ prints/ colors - unlike the Proenza for Target collection, nobody's going to stop you on the street with these pieces and go "Ooh, I wanted that so badly, but it sold out!". Others have compared the pieces to the clearance rack at Gap stores while others snigger that without Patricia Field, Parker is simply out of her depth.

As Mollygood.com notes, the loudest buzz surrounding the line is "the it's-gotta-be-from-the-sweatshop prices of everything $19.95 and under". Ouch.
