But I could have never imagined that good.
I can say that Patrizia Reggiani is a very unique woman. One of the classiest ladies in the history of fashion. If not, the classiest.
Even if she is a criminal and she was jailed for murder.
I think Lady Gaga has done an amazing job. She studied her thoroughly.

Sweatshop produced goods that are extremely overpriced due to brand hype for the affluent to squander undue wealth upon? Neat.
I recall the interview with Patrizia when she still was in jail.
She talked about her love for money all the time.
She mentioned 2 billion Lire (1 million $ at that time) as if it was nothing to her. Worthless...

And these are the disgusting humans you wish to place upon a pedestal?
Of course not. I am just interested in people's psychology.

Spoiled, sociopathic, narcissistic, entitled, shallow, materialistic... beyond that probably not much to delve into.Of course not. I am just interested in people's psychology.
It's very interesting to study these subjects.
Her class in saying incredibly cynical things is unique. She did say those things classily.
One of her most famous phrases :
Better to cry in a Rolls- Royce than being happy on a bicycle.

Not my kind of movie, but seems big budget.

Do you believe that? Does that make sense to you?
No...it's scary.
It looks really good. I will watch when I can. Lady Gaga and Jared Leto are reason enough to watch.

I never could understand the fascination or obsession had with the "fashion world." My mother was really into that stuff, along with the celebrity gossip - as if it was somehow the most important thing in the world. She lived most of her life in West L.A., and a lot of people around there were really into the whole "fashion" thing. Hollywood glamor, glitz, and glitter. Gucci was pretty popular, but it didn't mean a thing to me.
The whole thing was so false, so phony, so fake - or "plastic" as some people might call it, even while there were people going around who were "into their consciousness" and still had some of that post-hippie pseudo-"spiritualism" which would ultimately be superseded by bourgeois consumerism and an escalated version of "keeping up with the Joneses."
I may still watch the film; it might be interesting. It might be like the line from Steely Dan's "Show Biz Kids": Show business kids making movies of themselves, you know they don't give a **** about anybody else...
I think this movie mainly focuses (despite the title) on Patrizia's figure rather than on fashion.
About this woman whom I consider very classy. Her elegant way of speaking is something I admire.
At the same time it is insightful to analyze how greed transforms people. Negatively.
But yes...when she speaks in Italian, her elegance is a model for me.

You're paying for status, not quality.

I don't buy stuff like Gucci. I pay for quality first. Then I make it look fashionable after. I don't care about status either. What status?

You'll have ask those who sink $200 on an otherwise $20 item just because of the label.
That's a good point.You'll have ask those who sink $200 on an otherwise $20 item just because of the label.
Label is everything for celebrities and wealthy people.
I recall Cameron Diaz remarked that a TV host was wearing Gucci shoes...so she replied to her "Just try them on"
