Today, straight from real fashionistas, we learn how stupid the rest of America is for thinking Gucci and Dolce & Gabanna are fashionable. Nobody at Conde Nast actually wears Pucci or Dior … Marc Jacobs is so much hipper. He does Oprah, ok people? And god! Like, you really think anyone would carry an Hermes to work? Get real.
Those costumes are "a caricature of what people who don't work in fashion think fashion people look like," said Anne Slowey, the fashion news director of Elle … "the clothes are a little too head-to-toe perfect," Ms. Slowey said.
Besides the clothes being perfect, Meryl Streep is just too pretty (huh?), nobody ever has time to change between skim lattes and fashion shows, and it's not like you can, like, actually raid the Vogue closet. Anna Wintour would gouge your eye out with the heel of her Jimmy Choo.
God. People who think fashion industry girls' lives are just like the movies are so wrong. Those who really live this way are actually thinner, meaner, and don't need labels to feel important. Hello, their daddies can totally buy and sell most people's entire family.
The Duds of 'The Devil Wears Prada' [Ruth LaFerla, New York Times]
Not actually thinner but certainly meaner because if my experience interviewing with the Nasties is any indication "they prefer their girls come from families of means"
The New York Times is really going after this project with knives, isn't it?
I actually quite enjoyed the film, sure some parts were not too realistic, as in if she ever did go into vogues closet then she eould probably be murdered, but I still loved Meryl Streeps overall cruelness throughtout the film as it was quite entertaining. And I LOVED Emily. I thought the film had great casting and I loved how they were dressed so chic. Sure, gucci and prada are NOT the hippest clothes out there, actually I believe some of there clothes come looking hideous and I would have loved to see Marc Jacob peices, and maybe even some Valenciaga. But I enjoyed the film despite its not complete fashion trueness.

HELLO PEOPLE IT'S A MOVIE. It's fiction! We know creative licenses were taken even if it was modeled after actual people. It's still fiction. I don't know what the big deal is. I'm rooting for Miranda. I'd work for her.
Wait, seriously? You didn't think Meryl Streep was the hottest of the hot in this? Realism issues aside, the film sucked. But I'd see it again just because of her — she's gorgeous in it and incredibly sexy. The way they cut her hair was very flattering, some of her outfits were… not bad, which is way more than one usually gets with her. And then they bleached her hair white, which in my opinion really brought out her eyes. I find her beautiful.
….Just to follow up and illustrate what I meant:
