Significance of the opening sequence?

The opening sequence is a representation of what the LA scene would consider as 'good art', illustrating 'ugly America'. If you remember Susan starts to question her own work, wondering it's worth, while everyone else, her friends, praise her. She wonders her own worth and it seems like she feels she might have sold out for the 'good life', but it ain't so good. When the truth is revealed it can be quite ugly.

This statement proves once again you're a moron and have failed to grasp simple logic.
It is not a representation of L.A. it is a representation of the people from Beverly Hills. Susan lives in Beverly Hills and the gallery is in LA. Tom Ford has followed in the footsteps of David Lynch with his cold portrayal of people from Beverly Hills, which is one of the wealthiest per-capita areas in the U.S. You might remember Lynchs film Mulholland Drive which is located in Beverly Hills and not L.A.
The opening sequence is filmed in Beverly Hills and this is not a representation of American society.
How long have you spent poring over this film and to think you have the script. It makes me question your other posts on this film and their accuracy.

I just know if Tom Ford was heavy he would not have made that opening sequence.
Portraying heavy women as something disgusting
and grotesque tells me something about Tom Ford's hate and bigotry towards human beings who are overweight. -

It is a true sign of weakness.
It's really not actually. I eat pretty much whatever I want and drink a ton of alcohol, and I can't gain weight. Always been skinny. The only time I've ever gained weight was when I got into weight lifting. Some people just put on weight easier than others. It's not always weakness. A lot of times it's merely genetics.

I guess it's all in the eye in the beholder. I saw the very opposite. In my eyes, it looked to me that they were portrayed as being joyous, and free of any inhibition or shame. -

The obese women were probably a nod at the work of contemporary British artist, Jenny Savile, who has been extremely successful with her paintings of nude overweight women, and has even portrayed herself in that mode.
She's an extremely skilled technical painter, the nudes are monumental in scale, and very few people regard her work as disrespectful.
