I think what people are missing about the sequel is that is highlighted one of the biggest issues in artistic spaces right now. In 2006, a magazine like Runway was defined trends, statements, what was in, what was out, who mattered and who didn’t. In 2006, a designer would change his whole collection because an editor in chief pursed her lips. Twenty years later, we don’t even print magazines anymore. Journalism literature has taken a back seat to Instagram, Pinterest, influencers, short form content, we’re being told what we do and don’t like from popular creators with big social media followings who are paid to tell us, and we’ve eradicated the thought, intention and artistry behind it. And now people like Miranda, who once existed as literal goddesses in this space, are left treading water and fighting for scraps. Every artist across every medium and niche can relate to that struggle right now. The Devil Wears Prada addressed the issues of the industry 20 years ago. The sequel addresses the issues today.
