In the film, Anna tells her daughter who wants to work in law that "there are a lot of weirdos out there" in the fashion industry, yes, because there are a lot of artists here, and the artists are crazy.
All fashion elements come from nature. After being combined and spliced, they are then reconstructed by different interpretations in everyone's mind, thus establishing a complete aesthetic system. Everyone's definition of fashion is different, just like not everyone loves fringed boots, Roman shoes, contrasting clothes, black silk, what we think we love is often not fashion itself, just like Grace's black dress as always , what we love is a kind of "beauty" exuding from the inside out through the color jumping collocation, its focus is not on beautiful works, not on garish clothing, but a combination of movement and stillness. The romantic attitude, a kind of hazy and bright, a beautiful experience of coexistence of reality and romance.
Compared with the female No. 1 Anna, Grace is a pure artist in the colorful fashion world. This woman with messy hair and wrinkled face, who has been swaying in the corridor full of clothes, seems to have come out of a fairy tale or a strange story. , she is immersed in the perceptual world of herself, and she experiences every bit of life with her heart, and can always burst into inspiration to convey these invisible thoughts through pictures. She used to be a beautiful and handsome model. After suffering a car accident, she went through many cosmetic procedures and finally entered VOGUE. She started as an editor at the bottom, devoted herself to her own fashion art for 40 years, and completed the transition from living for fashion to living in fashion. perfect transformation.
Grace is completely inspired by nature, this sensitive and stubborn woman, born for art. Pursuing and possessing beauty is her lifelong goal, just like she can discover the beauty hidden behind the ordinary anytime, anywhere, and then turn the decay into the magic, showing a subtle sense of isolation inside and outside the painting, between reality and myth. In the works presented in the film, those impressions of the 1920s, those exaggerated hairstyles and highly decorative costumes in the architectural background, are fashionable and very interesting. The most powerful thing is to retake the set of contrasting fashions under the tight time conditions (2 days), and even invite a photographer with a big belly to the picture. This modern and real feeling instantly brings us closer to fashion. The distance makes you feel that fashion is on your side.
The artist is strict, and Grace does not allow any mistakes and misunderstandings about her work. Her eyes can capture all the subtle changes and frictions, just like she has a pair of flexible hands, still following the old-fashioned designer's habits, changing and arranging the clothes of the models herself, every detail and every embellishment is hands-on. In every dispute with Anna, Grace has never given up her position. For her, fame, fortune and glory are no longer so important. All she expects is to keep her mind both real and imaginary. The scene is presented in the form of pictures to people who love beauty. As she said, "If I didn't love this industry, I wouldn't have been here for so long."
From a certain point of view, this is not a good employee and a mature leader. He will lose his temper with Anna, disobey Anna's instructions, and be very sad and disappointed when his most satisfactory photo loses the election, and eat only vegetables in the office by himself. Lunch. But after the final version of the magazine came out, she still couldn't help but raised the corner of her mouth when she looked at the magazines that were still mostly composed of photos she took, "This issue is my special issue again", how simple and lovely Grace is.
As an idealist, Grace will also have some insecurities of her own in the ever-changing fashion world, but the allure of beauty can always trigger her fashion sensitivity, resulting in creative sparks. No matter how time ravages, this romantic woman , destined to be more beautiful than ever.
