Devil Wears Prada Reflection

1295 Words6 Pages

1th June - Monday Today, I came across a film named ‘Devil wears Prada’ and I watched it. The leading roles in the film is Andrea Sachs and Miranda Priestly, which was played by Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep respectively. They are some of my favourite actors in English films. From the movie, I think that it shows us more about the fashion industries in United States. Although it was a movie in 2006, it still shows us some things that will still happen in our workplace no matter where or when you are. The plot starts off with Andrea, who knows nothing about fashion and looking for a job. She was called for an interview in Runway, a fashion magazine. Miranda, who is the editor-in-chief hired Andrea as her junior personal assistant. Miranda was very disappointed with Andrea’s fashion senses and attire. In order to keep her job, Andrea change her way of attire. After some time, Andrea was given a chance to be the first personal assistant replacing Emily, the senior personal assistant. She took the chance in order to have a better future after she quit this job. This example always happen everywhere regardless of where you work in. A lot of back-stabbing will be involved in every workplace in every industries and we need to learn to cope with it. This will be what I have learned from this movie. 2nd June - Tuesday When I turned on the radio today, the DJs are discussing on the topic of “ What is the appropriate age for children to be expose to high-technology gadgets?” This is

The story is told from the perspective of a 19-year-old boy and tells of his experience throughout a troubling moral situation.

    In the eye-opening documentary, The True Cost, director, Andrew Morgan presents a very biased and edited version of the events leading to the fast fashion industry and its negative impacts. Through the use a blame register the documentary is controlled to display necessary footage to expose the sweatshops and how it’s affecting lives and the environment with an underlying link to the title, “The True Cost”. In particular, persuasive language choices are purposely chosen which also link to the use of juxtaposition, displaying a contrast between narration and images. The silencing of garment workers’ unequal treatment outside of work and the fashion companies’ perspectives are selectively cut out. These three major techniques are all edited to

  • Essay On Sexism In Fashion

    750 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fashion, or rather the fashion industry, is ageist, sexist, racist, fattist and fascist, but only in so far as today’s society is. This industry is merely an extension of capitalism, and as such its only concern is generating as much profit as possible. Trying to include and represent all different types of people is very low on its priority list, so it continues to perpetuate harmful societal patterns, be it on purpose or not. The most blatant case of sexism in fashion is that women in this industry are by and large models, while the more powerful and influential positions of designers, managers and directors are usually taken by men.
