14. "This 'stuff'? Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you... You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers...Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic “casual corner” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room."

Andrea: D-D-Demarchelier?

Miranda: Demarchelier. Get him on the phone.

Andrea: O-Ok.

Miranda: And Emily...?

Andrea: Yes?
