And I just love ties on women.

And, you know, Andrea Sachs is a reporter, and there was this image that kept coming up in my mind of old newsrooms where the guys have the rolled up and the cigars and everything.

I just kept thinking we need to really explore vests and ties and suspenders and whatever we can to just hopefully not knock you over the head with it.

But it's a part of her closet that's organic she would go for.

They felt it was important to add some dialogue, giving a little hint to that.

She's well-travelled on her reporting gigs, and so she would stop in a city where she was doing a story and roam around and see what was at resale shops.

And I think...

They wanted to not explain that, but just to give it a little throwaway line that she wasn't steeped in fashion and might not know what the current it bag was because she's a serious reporter.

But she had a takeaway from the first experience at Runway.

I was furious that that was in the trailer.

They give away so much of not locations necessarily, but clothing.

It's like, save it, save it.

I was devastated when I saw that little tassel shake.

The tassel jacket was one of the first things I saw that I thought had a chance on Miranda Priestly in the second movie.

And I earmarked it, and I showed it to Meryl, and she responded immediately.

She saw it as over the top, and I saw it as a rarefied piece that an editor would have.

Then it became apparent that there was an actual scene for it when she goes to meet this huge table of, let's say, corporate banker types.

And they're all in their dark pinstripe.

And she is there in what I consider to be the thigh-high Chanel boot, a tassel jacket.

I mean, what a piece to have amongst all these pencil pushers.
