Ah, Fashion. EVERYONE wants to be a designer (groan) and every skinny awkward girl out there wants to be a model. How many seasons of America’s Next Top Model have we watched with baited breath to see Tyra hold up the final “picture in her hand”? And listened to Mr. and Mrs. Jay’s insane memes about walking, makeovers and being fierce? Why do we do it?! We know it’s bullshit and the girl will never actually model anywhere other than Hong Kong but we don’t care! And Project Runway…ugh, no comment.
Only a former Vogue photographer could take on this world and get it sooo right. Who are you, Polly Maggoo? stars real life cover girl Dorothy McGowan, a Brooklyn born model transplanted into the Parisian fashion world. She can wear anything (including sheet metal and staples), fashion editors are inspired by her, she has a camera crew following her every move and a prince thinks he can’t live without her. Sounds pretty perfect right? Equally amazing are the animated scenes, supporting characters and hand drawn end credits.
Auf Widersehen, kiss kiss!
