Well, I enjoyed the movie ‘The Devil wears Prada’ for two reasons. I got to see Anne Hathaway [I think she’s just smashing] and Meryl Streep [she’s an amazing actor] and a well-balanced view of the ‘fashion world’…
The world has its fair share of bigotry, racism, sexism, you name it… and we all indulge in it, in varying degrees. We love to cynically invalidate the shallow behavior of the fashion industry, yet we secretly wish we were in the thick of the ‘action’ in a mental or physical capacity.
Hell, they seem to be the kinds who are having the most fun! Or atleast it seems that way on the exterior… but do we really take the time to see what ‘lies beneath’.
Why? I think not.
First off, I’ll admit I’ve been there myself. Anne Hathaway, too, as in the character that she depicts in the movie.
So, are the ‘beautiful people’ really shallow? Vain, maybe?
You have three options: Yes, No & Maybe!
My opinion is that you can learn a lot about presentability from these folks in ‘Gladrags’, which can make up for a whole lot of ‘natural stupidity’, I’ll give you that!
And trust me, when you look at it a little closely, these are the ‘smart’ folk… they’re raking in the ‘moolah’ and having fun while they’re at it.
So, since I can’t wear Prada… A.R Mani perhaps [pun intended] – a popular designer in the suburbs Chennai… 😉
