the film, while retaining book s premise, does not follow the book too closely, which I liked. The entire Lily subplot from the book is eliminated (readers of the I mean), and Andrea s parents and boyfriend are less significant in the movie than in the book. I agreed with these changes, though - I found those aspects of the book to be quite boring, and their omission made for a more streamlined movie. I strongly recommend this movie to virtually anyone, and I just hope The Nanny Diaries (another somewhat-similar chick lit movie adaptation, coming out soon with Scarlett Johannson, that I am eagerly awaiting) lives up to the shining example of this excellent movie.

the real magic in fashion house's 17,000-square-foot store is the technology behind the scenes -- innovations that other retailers are also looking to adopt. Using a technology called radio frequency identification that embeds data in the clothe labels, prada the selling rapid takers, who are finally unlocked with hand computers can find out a lot on the spot. What sizes of that blouse are still in stock? What materials are in it? prada buyers, is able to create "virtual closets" and store information about what they tried on and bought in password-protected Internet accounts. They will also be able to opt for customer cards that detail past purchases and contain notes sales associates may have made on their preferences. Such cards would be readable either by associates' handhelds or at cash registers.

the design of the memory is more applicable or less a round up of recent technological innovations which work with varying degrees of success in shopping environments. The large half pipe certainly works to connect both floors visually and keeps the space open, but as a result makes the basement level feel cramped and dark. The round elevator, which is large enough to hold at least 20 people, works as a novelty, but is often used not by shoppers but mannequins. Said to have cost somewhere in the millions, the elevator takes up crucial space near the front entrance, and only serves the purpose of slowly lowering shoppers one floor down. Thus design certainly seems to take backseat to technology, which in many ways fights the use for which it is intended within the store. Though some may object to the design of the store and its use of technology, it is perhaps suited precisely for the type of person who would willingly pay over $600 for a pair of shoes. The strongest component of the design is its ability to change, but this has not been taken advantage of thus far. One entire side of the store's ground level features graphics which are applied to the wall much like wallpaper would be. This would certainly serve as a potential for changing the store seasonally (perhaps having different designers contribute and rotating their work), but this has thus not been utilized as a way of making the store's design more active. It's missed opportunities like these that make Herbert Muschamp's review of the store for the New York Times seem particularly

the main design design of the memory is the half pipe-like wooden curve that connects the two floors visually. On the Broadway side, the curve has steps and serves as a place for clothes to be shown. According to OMA, this portion of the half pipe also serves as place for people to try on shoes, though in reality the shoe department is under the stepped side of the curve, and seating is provided there for shoppers. The other side of the half pipe is a steep curve that leads the eye back up to the ground level, and has metal cages with merchandise hanging above it. Made of zebrawood, the large half pipe does not seem to be aging well, in particular its edges, which seem to have worn down prematurely. On the curved end, a stage can rotate out creating a performance space, thereby making the stepped end work as seating for such events. Koolhaas sacrificed a great deal of retail space on both floors in order to have what he refers to as a big wave , and though its visual effect is strong, it seems to greatly impair the shopping experience due to it largely being unused space that impedes proper traffic flow in the basement level.
