Materialism

The postmortem of the movie "The Devil Wears Prada." I learnt from the book as well as the movie that our lives are surrounded with material that represents a certain state of mind. A mindset on how the fashion industry creates a foundation for the public to follow. High fashion clothes, acceessories and our lives, revolving in all directions towards materialism. It has become an addiction , a path for recognition and a way of live to some. I believe that being fashionable is cool but like an addiction, is there a downside to it? Would someone be too obsessed until it has gone too carried away?

From the movie whereby one can turn herself from hideous to fabulous and became the limelight in fashion. Having a fastidious boss, she understood that she was walking the footsteps of her boss, where career was the priority of everything. Ultimately, loosing hope in all areas but work. She had snapped outta it to realize that truthfully that wasn't what she was looking for.

We got lured into this dimension where fashion is everything and if you're fashionable you are somebody. Creating a big hoo-haa over this statement, but honestly, are you what you are. Fashion is just an industry. Its just work. Why can't other industries outshine fashion? If the talk-of-the-town was the hospitality industry, our society would be flourished with excellent etiquette and going that extra mile in all aspects of our lives. People would put an effort to care more instead of wondering have you seen the season's new prada collection.
