By: Carmine Pascuzzi

Australian fans of Sex and the City have the opportunity to win a spectacular one-off dress worn by Kim Cattrall and designed by celebrity super-stylist Patricia Field with the launch of the Baileys Red Bow bottle. Silver screen, style icon Kim Cattrall recently slipped into the show-stopping dress for a stunning photo shoot. Inspired by the fact that Baileys is the perfect instant gift this Christmas – every bottle will sport an elegant red bow – Kim and Patricia launched the Baileys Red Bow bottle in spectacular fashion.

Commenting on Patricia Field’s stunning design, Kim Cattrall says, “I was thrilled to be asked to launch the Baileys Red Bow bottle for the festive season. Bows are really fashionable and I love this trend. Red bows remind me so much of Christmas trees and beautifully wrapped presents.”

Baileys is auctioning the Baileys Red Bow Dress dress in aid of the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, an organisation that sells the hottest celebrity attire to benefit children's charities. Australians can get their hands on the one-off, show-stopping dress by bidding for it online from Monday, November 23 here The auction will close on Monday, December 6, 2009.

Commenting on the auction, Kim Cattrall said, “I love that this dress is going to be reused. I am ‘passing on the bow’ by donating this dress to the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, which is a great way to spread the festive cheer. I’m a firm believer that although fashion is fun, it doesn’t have to be meaningless. This red bow dress gets a second life by being auctioned to a lucky bidder who’s going to get this fabulous frock and a charity benefits from the donation”.

Referring to the exceptional design Kim noted, “This dress is one of the most daring garments I’ve ever worn. Red is already a bold colour and when you add to it a towering bow you have one of the biggest fashion statements you could make and believe me I’ve made quite a few! I trust my good friend Patricia Field’s style and instinct implicitly. When I saw the dress that Patricia had designed for me to launch the Baileys festive bottle, I just fell in love instantly”.

Recalling her muses for the dress, Patricia Field said, “My first inspirations were the red and the bow on the Baileys bottle – and of course, Kim Cattrall. My goal was to put them all together. I chose an oversized bow because I was reacting to Kim as her character Samantha wearing a bow: If Samantha wore a bow it would have to be a bigger than life one!”

This year, follow Kim’s lead by injecting some effortless chic into your gifting simply by giving Baileys with a Red Bow: high on style and the only adornment your presents need.
