What is it about fairy tales and fashion that pair together so perfectly well? Whatever the magical combination may be, it works and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022) is no exception. On a new episode of Why the Flick?, Sarah from Two Chicks Talkin’ Flicks joins us to unravel this charming story where no dream is too small — even getting your own haute couture gown straight from Paris. From the setting to the costumes, we talk about the connection between this film and the likes of Cinderella, The Devil Wears Prada, and My Fair Lady. We also discuss the movie’s deeper meaning of classism, the transformative nature of clothing, and how Dior changed the game for fashion in the 1950s.
