This is how you stay at the top!

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2006)

High fashion is sort of like art and religion--it is a con game but as long as you believe in it strongly enough you make it valuable and you're part of the club. This is the best sort of business plan since the seller decides what is important and the buyer accepts that. But there's nothing wrong with this in the business world and this film does a grand job of showing us how a powerful person runs the joint she works in and how she manipulates everyone in her world and how she is able to anticipate attacks and survive them. Miranda is mean but also admirable. Her power is administered ruthlessly but calmly and let's face it, it's a delight to watch it happen. This is a wonderful film to watch.
