Edna Mode Enters The Multiverse

The Greatest And Most Eccentric Designer Of All Time Has Officially Entered The Multiverse

BY CHRISTINE EVERHART

FEBRUARY 8, 2023

EDWARD BROCK / PIXAR

This is probably the strangest moment to occur in history. With the recent and continuous expansion of the Multiverse, in a completely unexpected turn of events, renowned and eccentric fashion designer, Edna Mode, who residents of Earth-1218 would recognise as the exclusive designer of the spandex super-suits for the Parr family and Lucius Best, has joined Earth-091523, commonly known as the Twitter-Verse. The news comes in this morning after it was revealed that Edna has been secretly designing for many people over the past several months and has been in this universe for quite some time now.

The Society and Elite Model Management’s American model, Kendall Jenner has gone on to describe Edna Mode as “a visionary” and “a giant,” calling her “the modern day Andy Warhol” and it could be very possible that Warhol himself took inspiration from Edna and actually “looked up to her.”

We asked Doctor Strange how exactly Edna Mode got in this universe and he looked more shocked than we were. This is literally the first time I, or anyone for that matter has seen Doctor Strange completely speechless. The sorcerer eventually, after about an entire minute said, “This is absolutely insane.” He had no further comment to add and simply took a seat, looking absolutely bewildered.

Vanity Fair sat down for an exclusive interview with the eccentric designer at an undisclosed location in New York. We had to make this appointment a few weeks in advance, as we were told several times that “she’s just completely booked up,” but Edna thankfully managed to squeeze us in for a quick interview. Edna was dressed in her usual black get-up, with large circular spectacles and shoes to match, which no doubt she designed herself.  In a glossy, white, Queen size room with Edna’s favorite piece, Mozart’s Violin Concerto’s No. 3 playing, Edna has granted Vanity Fair this exclusive interview.

Edna, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person. How are you?

E. Mode

Yes, things are going quite well, quite well. My God, no complaints but… you know. It… it’s not the same, not the same at all

C. Everhart

I loved your work on the suits you made for The Incredibles and Frozone, specifically Elastigirl

E. Mode

Yes, dahling. Yes. Hopefully they don’t decide to go to another less creative and boring designer whilst I’m away… Again. No matter dahling, the suits should last for several years. I need a break from that universe anyway, dahling. Need to explore, you know

C. Everhart

Absolutely. I don’t mean to be on the nose here Edna, but how exactly did you get here in this universe? Did you walk through a portal? We asked Doctor Strange and…

E. Mode

No idea dahling, your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, time is money darhing. Enough chit-chat. Get on with the interview before I change my mind and kick you out. You don’t want a repeat of what Pepper did to you in 2010 do you?

C. Everhart

How do you know about…

E. Mode

What, dahling you think I don’t know how your interview with Stark ended up that night and what you did afterwards? By the way, black underwear’s not a good look on you.

C. Everhart

Black underwear looks good on any woman Edna.You’ve said that yourself. Also, that was private and is none of your business

E. Mode

Whatever dahling. Look, time is money dahling. Get to the point dahling. Why are you here? What do you want?

C. Everhart

We heard that you dressed Doctor Osborn

E. Mode

Yes, dahling that is correct. Did you see what he was wearing before? He looked like a hobo, dahling. He came to me for help and… I won’t go into the details, dahling but I put him in some blue jeans, we took a short trip to Mexico to get some shoes. A black jacket from Prada. Miuccia is a good friend of mine, dahling. I put him in a custom designed sports crew neck designed by yours truly, of course, and did a special one off collaboration with Thinsulate for the hat. Cheap in price. Rich in style, dahling. He looked fabulous after my work. I put him in… what is it these children are saying now… ‘Drip,’ dahling. I put him in drip

C. Everhart

When was this?

E. Mode

This was back last year in December 2021, dahling. December. In fact, I think some people stopped him and asked about my work. The Unknown Vlogs on YouTube. You can watch that if you’re interested, dahling. I don’t remember the timestamp, dahling, I think it’s nine minutes in or something like that. I would skip all of the others dahling, their designs were not good. Awful, dahling. No style. I don’t know who designed those clothes. Only Norman looked the best. Obviously

C. Everhart

I’ll be sure to check it out after the interview

E. Mode

Yes dahling, you do that

C. Everhart

What’s it called

E. Mode

‘What are people wearing in New York City? Soho, Broadway,’ dahling. Don’t write ‘dahling’ after the title I’m not sure if it will come up

C. Everhart

So, if you dressed Norman in December you’ve been in this universe for quite some time then?

E. Mode

Of course dahling, of course, but I’ve been very busy you see. It isn’t everyday you end up in a new universe. I’ve had to keep up, dahling. Paris Fashion Week, The Oscars, The GRAMMYS. Did you see what Ye was wearing in January? That black mask over his head? Terrible dahling, terrible. I did like the denim though, dahling. I liked the denim.

C. Everhart

Will you be attending the Oscars this year?

E. Mode

No, dahling. I’ll watch it at home

C. Everhart

Any thoughts on the slap?

E. Mode

Ugh. That is old news, dahling. I never look back dahling. I never look back, it distracts from the now. Chris Rock had a nice suit. It didn’t match the pants but it was okay, it was okay. Nice bow tie, I guess. Everything really complemented the white shirt. Did you see Lupita? OH MY GOD. Amazing. Simply amazing. Gold. Pure gold. Fabulous. I was at the GRAMMYS, dahling. Much better. No violence there

C. Everhart

Oh, wow. How was the GRAMMYS then?

E. Mode

Dahling, I just told you. Much better. No violence there. Are you not paying attention. What is this, dahling? You work for Vanity Fair and you’re not paying attention to your guests?

C. Everhart

I’m sorry, Edna

E. Mode

You should be

C. Everhart

Any highlights for you from the GRAMMYS though?

E. Mode

Is this a, is this a question? Why, Olivia Rodrigo of course. Nice performance. Nice dress. I like the sparkly pink with the glitter going against the black and the pink necklace. Very cute. Very cute. Nice work from Vivienne

C. Everhart

Vivienne Westwood?

E. Mode

Dame Vivienne Westwood to you, dahling. Vivienne to me, rest her soul. So sad, dahling. So sad

C. Everhart

Are you working on anything new at the moment E

E. Mode

It’s Edna dahling, only my friends call me E, and of course. Always working on new designs for people

C. Everhart

Anything you can share? Is there anything with Norman coming up?

E. Mode

NDA’s dahling. NDA’s. Non-Disclosure Agreements you know

C. Everhart

So you’ve signed some Non-Disclosure Agreements then

E. Mode

Not exactly dahling. I MAKE… the NDA’s. My clients and I sign them together

C. Everhart

Thor has a brand new look. Did you have anything to do with that?

E. Mode

Do you see a cape as part of his costume?

C. Everhart

Yes

E. Mode

Then that answers your question then doesn’t it, dahling. Rule number one. NO CAPES

C. Everhart

I take it nothing with Doctor Strange’s new look then

E. Mode

(Edna just raises an eyebrow at me)…

C. Everhart

There are rumors that you were involved with the costume designs for the people of Wakanda which was recently reintroduced to us all again. Any truth in that?

E. Mode

First of all, I would like to pay my respects to T’Challa. Very good King. Very nice man. Always looked fabulous when I saw him, dahling. Very sad what happened. Secondly dahling, no comment. NDA’s again, dahling. NDA’s

C. Everhart

What about anything else with Doctor Osborn?

E. Mode

Dahling, that’s the second time you’ve asked this question today. Norman is a very good friend of mine and I will not be discussing if anything is happening in our professional relationship in the future. Maybe there is, dahling, maybe there isn’t, dahling. I don’t know. Well, I do know of course, obviously, but you do not know and do not need to know. Stop probing this question, dahling. You will find out soon enough or you won’t know anything. Now, I don’t know about you, dahling but I must go. You know, things to do, people to see. Bye bye now dahling, okay. Be good.
