Secondly, she doesn’t have endless resources or parties for networking. Harris is not a New York “it girl” on the rise getting ready to jet set into a life of Miu Miu and Balenciaga. So, I began to think, why not? What makes this movie so different from Andy Sachs or Jenna Rink? Well firstly, Mrs. Maybe it was the marketing, as I had never even seen an ad or trailer for it, or maybe the Coronavirus killed their campaign plans, but even when asking my fashion community, I have yet to meet another person who has watched it. It will never be as iconic and nostalgic as “13 Going On 30” (2004) or “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006), but instead will remain underappreciated and hidden from the world of fashion lovers. However, what made me most sad about the film was that I knew it was never going to be appreciated the way it should be. It made me re-appreciate the care and dedication of the seamstresses in Maison’s and when I went home, I immediately returned to Alexa Chung’s YouTube series when she went behind the scenes of Dior’s Maison in Paris and rewatched “Dior and I” (2014), the documentary on Raf Simon’s first collection there as creative director with Pieter Mulier. I have not felt like I was the shining light in the universe and the most beautiful girl to have ever walked the earth. Yes, I’ve felt moments of utter joy and internal reassurance of fate, such as when I found ‘70s printed Prada pants in my size at over 70% discount, but not like Mrs. To see the intense love for the dress and the way it made her feel also made me pity myself, as I realized I hadn’t ever had that moment in my life.

I had a lump in my throat four times, shed tears twice and giggled uncontrollably. To say I loved the movie with all my heart and soul would be a wild understatement. So, I bought a ticket for a late-night screening with my dad and entered the theater with no expectations. Of course, as a fashion fiend, I immediately clicked and was surprised to learn the movie was about a widowed cleaning lady in Britain who decided to save money to buy herself a couture dress from Maison Christian Dior. It looked like a bad movie for kids the title seemed like it told the whole story and to say the least, I was uninterested.īut while in the middle of summer school browsing on Vogue, I saw an interview with Isabelle Huppert about the film and its political subtext. Harris Goes to Paris” (2022), a baby pink one with Mary Poppins-like figures floating.
