In order to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the release of "The Queen Wearing Prada", Anne Hathaway also specially wore a purple custom Prada dress to shoot a new set of styling films, and her beauty under the lens is still there, which can't help but make people sigh as if they have returned to that year.
It has been 15 years since it first appeared on the screen in 2006, and the film is still a classic of fashion films. It has been called "one of the must-see fashion films". Whether it is the classic outfits, clever accessories, or workplace philosophy in the film, it has become the fashion and enlightenment of many professionals.
01 1 million dollars to create the most expensive wardrobe
As we all know, the prototype of Miranda in the play is Anna Wintur, the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Vogue", but the stylist in the film did not completely copy Anna's style when shaping miranda's image, but tailored a unique Miranda according to the characteristics of Aunt May.
This "fashion feast" film is not only the fashion enlightenment of many people, with a high installation budget of up to $1 million, but also makes it one of the most expensive wardrobes in the history of cinema.
Fashion celebrities gathered, even Valentino himself, and the female demon miranda in the movie with a frame.
In the film, the stylist prepared about 60 costumes for Miranda alone, perfectly shaping the image of the "fashion witch". Prada's full set of matches is naturally indispensable in the styling, in addition to many other big names that are specially customized for the film.
02 Anne Hathaway was not the first choice
In addition to the fashion styling classics, "Queen in Prada" also has a strong cast, in addition to Miranda played by Meryl Streep, Andy, the second assistant played by Anne Hathaway, and the first assistant Emily Blunt. Even the female N in the film is played by Giselle Bundchen.
However, few people know that Anne Hathaway was not the first choice for the role of Andy in Prada, or even the second and third candidates. In the end, it was because Meryl Streep recommended Hathaway to the filmmakers as the "ninth candidate", and the last dark horse was selected.
03 Wake up, Girl Six
Fashion boy Andy graduated from a prestigious school and aspired to become a journalist. However, he mistakenly became the assistant editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Runway. The author of the original novel, Lauren Weissberg, is said to have been a former assistant to the archetypal female demon leader Anna, and the novel was based on her own experience working under her.
When Andy, who was out of place with fashion, with fearless innocence when she first entered the workplace, she said to Miranda: "I am not slim and not fashionable, but I am smart, I learn quickly, and I will work hard." However, even if her mobile phone is on standby 24 hours a day and she works tirelessly every day, she still does not get the affirmation of her boss.
Until one day after being reprimanded by the boss again, Andy was awakened by Nigel's words: "Wake up to the sixth girl (sic: wake up six). "It's worth mentioning here, why did Nigel say Andy was the number six girl? American clothes are sized from 2-18, and the larger the number, the fatter it represents. Most of the girls who shuttle through Runway are No. 4 or even No. 3, and Nigel's use of The Number Six girl to describe Andy here is not just saying that Andy has no control over his body and no plans for his work.
It turned out that she had always been only touched by the illusion of "effort", full of complaints, did not seriously understand fashion, always mechanically completed the tasks assigned by the boss, and never thought about why she wanted to do it. The result is just to exhaust yourself in the process of catching up with the boss's footsteps.
04 Become a Chanel girl
In the film, "Runway" artistic director Nigel gives Andy a lot of advice on fashion, body and work, and Inspired, Andy begins his own transformation.
Field, the film's stylist, once revealed that because Anne Hathaway's temperament was very suitable for Chanel, he decided to make her a Chanel girl. Chanel is also happy that his piece can be worn on a young girl and can convey a more youthful atmosphere.
05 Choice and Sacrifice
Life is never perfect, even if miranda lives like millions of people want to be, there are still moments of loneliness and trauma. In the face of negative emotions, Miranda only allowed herself to be depressed for a short time, after which she remained the queen of the workplace.
Focusing on her career, she also feels indebted to her family in her life, and rarely has time to spend with her twin daughters. However, Miranda will do her best to participate in the development of her children, such as when she has bad weather, she also has to return to New York, just because she does not want to miss her daughter's performance. Life may not be perfect in everything, make trade-offs, be ashamed, and go all out.
06 Learn to embrace work with enthusiasm
In the film, Emily's character is very distinctive, she is full of great enthusiasm for her work, as Miranda's first assistant, her work is as capable and personal as her dressing style. At the beginning of the film, "The Queen Arrives", you can see how much she controls the overall situation.
Emily's hard work is also an important reason why she can sit in the first assistant position, staying at work all the time, not even daring to go to the toilet, just because of a short absence may miss an important appointment call.
Andy's real growth from a small rookie also comes from a real passion for work in his heart. As her fashion perception and matching ability continue to upgrade, her work ability also grows with the clothing, from a small and transparent atmosphere at the beginning, to a top editing assistant with ease, able to perfectly solve all the demanding requirements put forward by Miranda.
07 The freedom of the rapids to retreat
Andy, who became the first assistant, finally transformed into a single person. However, after accompanying Miranda to Paris Fashion Week, Andy realizes that life is not what she is after. Even though the job seemed to others to be full of aura and many people dreamed of it, she still resolutely chose to quit her job and go to the newspaper for an interview to pursue her original dream.
After leaving her job, Andy joined the newspaper of her choice, which was actually her initial pursuit. When you have success, you can still retreat in the rapids and see what you love in the big waves, which is a valuable courage that many people in the workplace envy. This is also the film's appreciation for sticking to its heart in addition to inspiration.
