The Devil Wears Prada 1) Is this a realistic portrayal of the fashion industry? I believe the movie is a fair look at the inside of the fashion industry. Granted there are several Hollywood liberties taken to move to story along, but when looking at the office culture and the interaction between the management, the staff and designers I believe there is a basis of truth.

Reflection on Additional Placement Day – Local Hospice. For this piece of reflective writing I will be using Gibbs (1988) model of reflection to help guide me through this reflective process.
