Andrea Sachs : Fashion in Self Growth
Fashion in Self Growth
Andy Sachs is a character in the popular film “The Devil wears Prada” that features Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep as assistant and boss in the fashion industry. In The beginning we see Andy just throw on clothes and does not think highly on heer fashion choices just going with what is acceptable in society. She wants the job not because of her passion but as a step stool to her actual dream job. At the beginning, she's not at all clued into fashion which led her to being not so conscious about how she was dressing. As she suddenly lives in this fashion world, she's under pressure to adapt, and I think she wanted to adapt because the world around her was dressed up and dressed differently.
One of my favourite scenes in the movie is when her blue sweater becomes verbally attacked by her boss saying, "It's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry,"also implying that she takes herself too seriously to care about her clothes. Andy in fact does not back down and replies "when, in fact, you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.", implying that for someone criticising her outfit she in fact did not choose her own.
The last look we see Andy in is a brown leather jacket, a black turtleneck, dark jeans, and brown boots that fall just below the knee, altogether bridging the gap between her indifferent looks at the beginning of the film and her fashion-conscious ensembles from her time at the magazine. The comparisons between how she dressed up for her interview for the fashion world and her recent job can just show how her aura became more neat and chic.
