Fashionholic

About This Movie

So, 'Fashionholic' is this quirky little comedy from 2002 that dives into the obsession with brand-name fashion. You’ve got Wai, who works in a boutique and dreams big about haute couture—her interactions with the designer Billy add a bit of whimsy and romance to the mix. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it captures that chaotic energy of the fashion world. The subplot with Sandy’s husband, Chan, adds a darker layer, revealing some uncomfortable realities of workplace dynamics. The performances are a mixed bag; Wai's character is lively, but some supporting roles feel a bit over-the-top. It’s a distinctive take on the fashion scene, blending comedy with some serious themes of ambition and exploitation.

Unique take on fashion culture in early 2000s. · Mixed performances add to its charm and oddness. · Balance of comedy and serious themes is intriguing.
