2. Andy's transformation from an ugly duckling to a strong woman in the workplace
The movie "The Queen Wearing Prada" tells the story of a newcomer to the workplace, Andy, from a green ugly duckling to a strong woman in the workplace. The heroine of the film, Andy, a young girl, finally entered a fashion magazine RUNWAY after many job searches as an assistant to the editor-in-chief Miranda, but on the first day of the interview, she was ridiculed by others for her dress, although in the end, through her own efforts, she became Miranda's most effective and trusted assistant, and even replaced the former chief assistant Emily, but in the early days of the workplace, she also suffered many setbacks because she did not understand office dress. This film not only let us understand the cruelty of workplace competition, but also let us learn valuable workplace dress etiquette.
3. Workplace dress etiquette
Andy is a big grinning girl who dresses just like her personality. Andy's attire and the atmosphere of the magazine as a whole were out of place. RUNWAY is a top fashion magazine, is to teach people how to dress up, as its staff, in terms of dress must be in line with its cultural atmosphere, the employees working in it are dressed very fashionably and exquisitely. Miranda and Emily's dress is undoubtedly in line with the needs of the workplace role, appropriate clothing, meticulous makeup. Here, Andy's role is positioned as an editorial assistant in the fashion workplace, and her dress should also be in line with the needs of the environment and the role.
But at the time of the interview, Andy wore clothes: a long gray trench coat, a loose hard khaki coat, a fake two-piece blue knit shirt, a pair of black ordinary trousers, a pair of black round-toe flat heels, plus messy long hair, and a bulky dark red handbag. The whole thing is a rustic student temperament dress. What's more, before the interview, she also ate onion bread. Anyone who attends a more formal occasion or is about to attend a formal occasion should avoid eating irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and curry, and if they eat, they must gargle or chew a piece of gum to remove the odor.
Andy felt that she was smart, went to a good school, and published several good press interviews, which made it very easy for her to apply for the position. But she hadn't read RUNWAY, didn't know about this fashion magazine (which was also a big no-no in interviews), and if Miranda hadn't wanted to change girls with a different style, she would have missed the job.
Although Andy successfully entered the RUNWAY job, on the first day of work, she still failed to grasp the work, especially how to wear when working in the fashion industry. A loose, heavy blue sweater, a gray tweed mid-knee skirt, thick-looking black pantyhose, and a pair of black flat-heeled leather shoes. Women's dress at work should be based on exquisite suits or shirt skirts, and shoes with high heels are preferred. Andy's dress didn't look like she was here to work, it was completely like she was casual, no wonder her boss Miranda looked her up and down with an inquiring look for a long time, and Andy finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed into the high heels she had been very resistant to.
For a long time, Andy had a hard time integrating runway's clothing style, retaining her usual student casual taste, until once at the magazine's selection meeting for model styling, Andy expressed his disdain for the color of the clothing, when Miranda had such an evaluation of her: "You know, that dress is not only blue, not green, not cyan, but sky blue, you also rashly ignore a lot of things, funny, you think you chose this color, Keep yourself away from the fashion world, but the truth is that the people in this room helped you choose this sweater from a pile of clothes. She felt aggrieved, and after a conversation with Nigel, she began to change her attitude towards the job. Andy vowed to practice gorgeous transformation in the shortest possible time.
The film uses a montage approach to make her quickly "change clothes" on the street wearing a variety of world famous brands, beautifully fitted wool coats, well-textured knitted skirts, and knowing how to use delicate jewelry such as hats and necklaces to add points to her outfit. Whether it's packing milk tea on the street or typing wildly in front of an elevator or typing wildly in front of a computer, it's becoming more and more sophisticated and stylish, and what drives women the most crazy is that there are many armani, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Chanel, D & G... It's dazzling and breathtaking. Of course, the dress in the office does not have to buy expensive brands, but there is a point that must be paid attention to must be in line with the cultural atmosphere of the company and the dress code of the office.
