Is a classic returning?

With the second part on the way, The Devil Wears Prada is consolidating its place among style lovers.

Stereotypes, clichés, or fantasy? These are some of the questions fashion experts ask themselves when discussing one of the most successful films related to this industry.

We are talking about The Devil Wears Prada, a feature film directed by David Frankel, a comedy that captivated audiences worldwide thanks to the brilliant performances of acting talents, including the incomparable Meryl Streep and the beautiful Anne Hathaway.

The plot, for many a parody of characters who for years seemed to reign supreme in the world of style, unfolds in New York, where Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, finds herself alongside a new girl: Andrea Sachs (Andy), who serves as the new recruit for the team.

With no interest in fashion, Sachs faces difficult personalities and the challenges surrounding wardrobes, the publishing world, fashion shows, and fashion in general from the script's perspective.

 

The film, released in 2006, represented a clear inspiration (and critique) for Anna Wintour, who for decades was the editor-in-chief of Vogue's American edition.

Over time, The Devil Wears Prada (the film's original title) became a comedy classic, but also a topic of conversation among those dedicated to fashion from a formal perspective.

While it is a lighthearted film, some did not find it amusing that characters were created that only reinforced industry stereotypes.

On the other hand, there were those in the debate who asserted that the film also provided an opportunity to playfully address something that, in reality, is merely a distant photograph.

Yes, without a doubt, fashion is more than pretension and exclusive garments; it is an industry where creativity, sustainability, and economy are central to the conversation.

Although the debate continues, almost 20 years later, the second part of this film is about to be released, aiming to provoke a laugh or two or perhaps discomfort for those who never agreed with its plot.

The truth is that the return of its characters and the addition of diverse personalities have generated significant anticipation for the international box office.

Will it remain a classic? Time will tell.
