Will the Wholesale Fashion Clothing Industry Get a Boost from Bruno?
A new comedy by Sasha Baron Cohen called “Bruno” is causing a stir in the fashion industry. While many designers don’t appreciate the stereotypes offered up in movies like Bruno and The Devil Wears Prada, others find their exaggerated characters quite amusing.
Let’s face it, with the economy in a freefall and “haute couture” designers fighting for their lives, a movie like Bruno offers a welcome diversion. Even the wholesale fashion clothing industry may see a spike in their business from this flamboyant fashion-conscious comedy.
According to the Associated Press, Austrian fashion designer Lena Hoschek isn’t put off by the prospect of a movie like Bruno, even if it is a skewed interpretation of the fashion world.
She told AP “I think it’s gonna be a fun film.”
Michael Ostertag, a Munich-based designer, was a little less enthusiastic. While he looks forward to seeing the film, he expressed concern that Bruno would give people the wrong idea about the industry, and worries that people will take him seriously.
Peeking around the corners of New York’s 7th Avenue Fashion District, my opinion is this film can only help breathe some new life into the bedraggled wholesale boutique clothing stores, during a season when they need it the most.
Similar to Miranda Priestly, the doyen of Runway magazine in The Devil Wears Prada, Bruno’s main character is a study in extremes, but is loosely based on reality.
Even if you’re not a fashion maven, the movie may ignite your inner desire to check out the clothing at Fashion Spot LA, or at least browse the wholesale junior apparel racks.
Borat creator Sasha Baron Cohen offers up another stinging sociopolitical satire in his new comedy, where he assumes the persona of Bruno, a gay fashion-monger whose character highlights the absurdities of the fashion industry.
Interesting!
The latest fashion trend in apparels today is the skinny jeans that give you a lean look. However, if you are unable to get into those, you would also be happy to put on those wide legged pants or trousers that are also hot with the fashionistas. When worn with a short narrow top and a slim fit jacket along with high heel shoes, this combination would look cool and give you that much longed for lean look.
Try it out this season!
