For the young woman fashion is a typical object: alien, unknown, something to be independent of and even spiteful and hostile towards.
But as Andy starts her new job she has to learn about fashion and she also learns the logic of the business. And as she is a good learner, the object is about to become subject.
After half a year she has got a new side in her personality, a side which is totally alien to her old friends including her boyfriend.
Andy herself is in doubt about the ruthlessness in the fashion industry, so there is a conflict. The cool attitude Andy used to have about fashion and work is threatened by her new knowledge. The drastic manners of her boss becomes her own. Attitudes she initially saw with aversion becomes part of her own personality.
The mind process of object becoming subject is stronger than her intellectual ambition of remaining cool.
And this is the way mind works. Our learning creates our personality, and if we want a nice personality we should learn nice things in a nice way.
