Ok, do I understand right, that the main difference between belts is buckle’s size? And the question is, do you want to bring people attention to the belt and belly?
Miranda Priestly: Where are the belts for this dress? Why is no one ready? Jocelyn: Here. It’s a tough call. They’re so different. Andy Sachs: (snickers under her breath) Miranda Priestly: Something funny? Andy Sachs: No. No, no, nothing’s… you know, it’s just that… both those belts look exactly the same to me. Y’know, I’m still learning about this stuff, and uh… (giggles uncomfortably) Miranda Priestly: This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets. I think we need a jacket here. Nigel: Hmm. Miranda Priestly: And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of “stuff.”
Even if we accept the premise that high fashion trends affect details of regular clothing, that doesn't make high fashion relevant or valuable. I don't know what Old French word they call the colour of my jeans, but if they were a different colour, my life would be the same. High fashion is just a hobby for elites it's truly irrelevant to normal people.
What she doesn't know is that "cerulean" is not a well defined specific colour, but a latin term meaning sky coloured, that has been used to mean a wide variety of colours, most of which are closer to the colour of the belts than the sweater. The sweater is, in fact, blue. The idea that she can prove an intellectual throughline from a specific runway show to a commodity garment through nothing but a vague colour is absurd.
The brilliance of Meryl Streep's acting and delivery in this scene is precisely that she's making this seem so obvious, so undeniable. She presents all of these facts as if they were supposed to be basic knowledge. Her point - that even if you think you're above fashion, fashion still influences you and that these people determine what everyone wears, seems like an irrefutable fact. But, actually... She's really not making that deep or concise of an argument. She's not explaining what's important or deep about fashion, or what contribution it makes to the world. She's basically just flexing her own knowledge about the subject, her power over Andy, and we could say, the fact she influenced the fashion choice she made by wearing that sweater. "You may think you're so above fashion, but actually, everything you wear was chosen by us". "Hmm, well then, I still don't really care about fashion, so I'd rather just wear what you guys have dictated for me than getting arrested for exhibitionism." Miranda could've read Andy for her unprofessionalism and tell her scoffing in a meeting when you're only starting is disrespectful and rude. With her tone and ruthlessness, that read would've been even more terrifying. Instead, her lecture on fashion sounds very impressive at first, but when you really start to dissect it... It actually lowkey highlights the shallowness of the fashion industry.
It’s not like we have a choice between buying clothes that someone designed and buying clothes that a robot sewed ysing random program. We buy whatever is being sold and seller gets paid for it. No favors done here. It’s a win win for buyer and seller. I don’t owe anyone a favor for the clothes I buy.
And I know it's not what the characters needed for the storyline, but I would have loved it she could have come back and been like "actually, this sweater was my mom's twenty years ago, I chose to wear it because it's my favorite color and it feels like a warm hug when I have to face a world that's always belittling me and I'll continue to wear it whether it's in fashion or out until I've worn holes in the elbows, and then I'll probably patch the elbows." Fashion designers create the pool that we can choose from, but we've got decades of those designs that we can sift through to actually find clothes that we like and that says what we want to say with our sartorial choices.
The fashion industry spending millions on runway models who wear ridiculous clothes that no one would look good wearing in real life is still a puzzle to ordinary people. Who would wear braless sheer clothes, 6 inch heels and 20 lb hats to the office? This scene is scripted and memorized by an actress who said Weinstein is a god. Wake up people. This movie is stupid!
Meryl Streep's character in this scene is pretty much the Architect from the original Matrix. The target of her scorn - or lecturing rather - isn't quite Neo though, but she wins in the end anyway.
I rewrote this about the impact of advertising and the American flag. Have a look! Oh, okay, I see what's going on here, you think this is all a bunch of bullshit. You… go to your desk, and you have… I don’t know, a tiny little American flag standee, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you're all about American pride, but what you don’t know is that that little flag is not just any American flag, it’s not the confederate flag, it’s not the original 13 colony flag, it’s the flag from the 1960s. First it was Betsy Ross was who was paid by the Navy to make flags, and then it was Frances Bellamy, wasn’t it?… who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance as a marketing campaign to sell more flags. And then flags quickly started to show up hanging on flag poles and inside school classrooms along with that same pledge of allegiance. Then it filtered down into being protected by offical government laws, and then trickled on down into some tragic tourist destination where you, no doubt, plucked it out of some cutesy little gift shop proudly proclaiming made in America. However, that flag represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it will never stop being funny how you think that you’re showing pride for something that declares you exempt from being duped by the advertising industry, when in fact, you’re displaying a flag that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a bunch of “bullshit.”
Me, I would've gone for the horseshoe buckle, because I thought it complemented the outfit instead of calling attention to your stomach. Apparently I had it backwards.
Hated Miranda when I saw this as a teenager, but now I understand she was basically teaching Andi how the fashion industry works in this monologue. Andi is there to learn and it's her first day, so her laughing like that instead of observing makes HER the asshole.
Miranda's point actually makes no sense - her speech here just sounds mildly impressive because of the confident way she delivered it, and because it showcases her detailed knowledge of the history of the fashion industry. Ultimately Andy doesn't care too much about the exact shade of her sweater, and would've picked it up if it was turquoise, lapis, or any other similar shade. So, people working in the fashion industry spending hours and hours deliberating which shade to pink made no difference to Andy - her life would've been exactly the same regardless of what shade they'd ended up going with.
I like your idea but my take of the scene is pretty different, it's more her calling out Andy for ridiculing the thing she now does for a living and not taking her job seriously. She is in a room with fashion designers watching them argue are basically ridiculed their job. And even though a vain career, I see this more as Miranda trying to prove what she and everyone else at that magazine does has an impact. And you are right Andy probably didn't care about the sweater. But the fact that color was an option for her to buy to begin with and that color (at least in the world of the movie) has a long history that led to it becoming trendy enough to be on a lot of clothes and eventually ended up on cheap stuff is the point. The fashion industry does not choose what exactly people end up wearing as everyone has personal taste but who makes the clothes chooses the options people have and their decisions influence what a wide amount of people wear. Like Miranda throughout the film totally takes her job too seriously and is pretty overly pretentious but here this was pretty deserved. If you work in an industry and don't give it your all, try to understand it and respect it then what are you even doing.
Everyday we make choices in the stuff we buy -- and even what we think. What we don't realize is that those choices were made for us by people gifted into manipulating what people think. I'm dealing with this very case now. A few years ago a prospective customer approached us looking for a solution to a problem they had. We had a solution, but in order to win the customer's heart, our sales guy convinced the guy into thinking what we already did was his idea. In the end, he never bought the product, but is so convinced that what we do is his idea that he's claiming patent rights to it. It's absurd.
Oh I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and select, I don't know, some lumpy blue sweater because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis - it's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent who showed cerulean military jackets. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers and filtered down through the department stores - and eventually trickled down into some tragic Casual Corner, where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you.......from a pile of "stuff."
Oh I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and select, I don't know, some random green belt because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your waist. But what you don't know is that that belt is not just green, it's not honeydew, it's not shamrock - it's actually chartreuse. And you're also blithely unaware that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of chartreuse waistcoats. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent who showed chartreuse hoodies. And then chartreuse showed up in the collections of eight different designers and filtered down through the department stores - and eventually trickled down into some tragic Casual Corner, where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that shade of green represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact you're wearing a belt that was selected for you.......from a pile of "stuff."
I love this movie coming out when it did. 2006 was a fashion calamity (see: Andy newspaper boy hat outfit) in the full thrall of pop anorexia - "when I feel like I'm about to pass out, I eat a cheese cube" ass culture. That shit is so real. It all just underscores what miserable, talentless, cruel people drove/drive the industry, for the sake of fluffing their own egos and asserting their shitty visions onto others.
I don’t understand why anyone thinks Miranda is making such a great “point” in this scene, or schooling Andy on anything. She’s proving Andy’s point that the things the fashion industry cares about are shallow, arbitrary, and meaningless. If the industry had put as little thought and care as Andy did into the selection of the trending color of sweaters, the outcome would have been the same: a cerulean sweater, randomly selected over periwinkle or navy or whatever. And the fact that the industry chose the color “for” her simply underscores the point that they are an industry built upon trivialities.
Oh I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and select, I don't know, some random periwinkle dress because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that dress is not just periwinkle, it's not botany, it's not lavender - it's actually violaceous. And you're also blithely unaware that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of violaceous nightgowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent who showed violaceous lingerie. And then violaceous quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers and filtered down through the department stores - and eventually trickled down into some tragic Casual Corner, where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that shade of periwinkle represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact you're wearing a dress that was selected for you.......from a pile of "stuff."
Let say you are a clothing manufacturer. You can create everything, every color, every shape. In a free market your goal is to sell. Now, at some point in the story of the business some "gatekeeper" rise by market consensus to decide what is "en vogue". That made your business very easy: other than staples you don't have to sell every single possible cloth. You sell what is arbitrary trendy decided by Conde Nast. And if you look at fashion shows, and then about two month later in stores you will see how those trends trickle down just like is told in this shene. Of curse it is all arbitrary and useless, but it is an industry with countless jobs.
Andy was kind of either stupid or condescending here.. she could have justified her disrespectful snorting by saying a little lie like she had remembered something funny she had heard earlier but instead she tried to subtly humiliate the others while absorbed in her values only.
As someone who worked in this biz the gravity everyone portrayed themselves with was often borderline ridiculous. On the other hand, everything Miranda says here is SPOT ON. I sat buyers and Wintour herself at shows, and Everyone knew that they along a few other editors and journos could determine what was worn and how much could potentially be spent based on their opinions.
This is about the reality of the limits of Free Will. We think we are making choices but those choices are limited to the choices that are available to us based on what others have chosen for us. Food, music, the President, ect...
Ok, do I understand right, that the main difference between belts is buckle’s size? And the question is, do you want to bring people attention to the belt and belly?
Bro, X-Files was pushing cerulean in 1996.

CERULEAN MONOLOGUE.

Anyone else think she should’ve chosen the other belt? Idk I just think the buckle would’ve matched the trim of the dress better.
i was so far off, i thought they were called ugly blue and uglier blue
Andy was too edgy and trying to be special instead of just doing her job. Not into preachy characters like her but it's a movie
does anyone know what brand the tulle dress is with the flower????
Lmao DESTROYED
Every time I hear the color I watch this clip
Honestly one of the best monologues in cinema history

My comment didn't fit an agenda which was inherently mistaken. So... here's my comment come to life. i.redd.it/x9oxfzufavb21.jpg
I loved Miranda Priestly from the 1st. This scene, tho, ❤❤❤
I'm trying to imagine what outfit would call for a cerulean belt with a comically large buckle.
This needs to be the next monologue on RuPaul's Drag Race!

Because no one would have ever thought of making a blue sweater unless these gods of fashion existed. She’s a clown.

You are right, what she is saying just sounds good, which makes people think there is a great point when there really isn't.

“Why is no one readyyyyy”
Reeeeeeeaaaad, Meryl! 😂😅
Stanley Tucci's eyes
Andy was kind of either stupid or condescending here.. she could have justified her disrespectful snorting by saying a little lie like she had remembered something funny she had heard earlier but instead she tried to subtly humiliate the others while absorbed in her values only.
That outfit on the hanger was tragic. Fashion is subjective and stupid as hell.
She destroyed her in this scene!
