Cultural Exploration

                   

 Fashion in the United States

 

Apart from professional business attire , fashion in the United States is eclectic and predominantly informal. While Americans’ diverse cultural roots are reflected in their clothing, particularly those of recent immigrants, cowboy hats and boots and leather motorcycle jackets are emblematic of specifically American styles. Blue jeans were popularized as workclothes in the 1850s by merchant Levi Strauss, a German immigrant in SanFrancisco, and adopted by many American teenagers a century later. They are now widely worn on every continent by people of all ages and social classes. 

Along with mass-marketed informal wear in general, blue jeans are arguably the U.S. culture’s primary contribution to global fashion. The country is also home to the headquarters of many leading designer labels such as Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Another type of clothing worn throughout the United States by many types of people is the T-shirt. It can be plain and white, or colored with company logos or funny messages. T-shirts are arguably the most worn type of shirt in the United States. 

Movie Story

It stars Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City and gets a job as a co-assistant to powerful and demanding fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.

Andy puts up with Miranda’s bizarre and humiliating treatment in hopes of getting a job as a reporter or writer somewhere else. As Andy’s work efficiency and sense of fashion improve, Miranda approves Andy’s accompanying her to Paris for Fall Fashion Week. However, when Andy knows Miranda scarifies Nigel in order to retain, she understands thoroughly the fights for fame in the fashion world and quits. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
