The Devil Wears Prada
The movie, The Devil Wears Prada, is about the main character, Andrea, fitting into the fashion world. She started out as a journalist at a workplace she did not like at all, so she quit her job and went to New York City and started a job in a magazine as an “Emily.” In the movie, an “Emily” is an assistant that takes care of all the mean editor-in-chief’s needs. Andrea was the talk of the staff because she had no fashion sense and she wasn’t the same size as the staff. It was only when she got a makeover that she started getting a little respect, but her relationship was slowly suffering for it because her attitude also changed. When Andrea noticed the change in herself, she figured out that the fashion world was not for her, so she walked out on the editor-in-chief and agreed to move with her boyfriend to Boston. Do you think the fashion world forces people to be what they are not? Does it force them to change themselves physically as well as mentally?

I’m so sorry. I did not clarify that. The main thing I was trying to get at was: Do you think the fashion world forces people to physically as well as mentally?

I think physically, yes. You need to fit in to get anywhere in the fashion industry. If you don’t meet their expectations, they’ll find someone else who will. As for the attitude… just because you’re around a bunch of snotty-nosed people doesn’t mean you’re going to become like them. You don’t need to change who you are mentally really.
