Mythology is the collection of myths or legends of somebody regarding about their origin, history, heroes and ancestors. It is a myth that certain culture believes it is true and that, they use the power to explain natural events and the nature of universe and humanity. In general use, myth is often being put itself in a place of the other with legend but were dintinguish by some people. The myth is known as a traditional story, typically involve supernatural beings or forces or creatures, which express and provides an explanation for something such as the early history of a society, a religious belief or ritual or a natural phenomenon. It's a widespread but untrue or mistaken story or belief. It could also be a person or thing held in reverence and wonder or based on the awe of the admiration on the basis of popularly repeated stories. Myth could be a person or thing that exaggerates the truth.
In terms of traditional stories, it will need to divide into three categories; myths, legends and folktales. Myths here is a story which connected with religion concerning the distant past, particularly the creation of the world and generally focussed on the Gods. Legends stories are about the past that focussed more on heroes and folktales are stories which is lack of historical but animal characters are usually included.
In the movie; 'The Devil Wears Prada', Andrea's fashion style is out of the fashion world where she's living as a normal life in the city. But ever since she got a job with Miranda, she was condescending by the staffs there especially her senior assistant, Emily, her coworker is condescending her. Soon after all, Andrea gets the help of art director Nigel to reposition herself by having free designer clothing and accessories. She was so proud of herself the next day when she started to furnished up her new fashion style and was shocked by Emily and Miranda. Her fashionista keeps going till the end of the episode where she found out the evil character of Miranda that makes her quiting her job. Since then, she's back to her normal life with normal fashion. Here, the myths was exaggerating the truth of Miranda's fashion style.
In The Devil Wears Prada, they use Runway as Vogue magazine. In my research, Vogue is not a magazine that rank styles like appliances according to efficiency, power ratings, size and cost. Each magazine, they has its particular clientele, and it both understands reiterates the social values of its readers. It has the authority to tell those readers who share its view how the zeitgeist translates into ideological positions and can be expressed by wearing fashion. Vogue tells us which among many possible expressions are in fashion, and we share Vogue's view of fashion. Other than this, the myth could also include the proverbial 'cerulean sweater' in the movie. In the modern fashion world, it may end up after years in the clearance bins of department stores, but this has nothing to do with the formation of fashion across social strasta. Another myth, in The Devil Wears Prada where anti-feminist as the fashion biz itself, perpetuating the myth that women sizes 6 and over are fat, ugly, and worthless.
