Synopsis

Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) is a shallow, self-obsessed male model who has lost his position as the #1 model, being brainwashed by the mysterious dominatrix-like character Katinka (Milla) into assassinating the president of Malaysia. Meanwhile, he also has to deal with his nemesis Hansel (Owen Wilson), a younger, blonde model who is now the hot stuff.

“Derelicte” is the name given to the fashion line designed by Will Ferrell’s character Mugatu. It is described by Mugatu in the film as “a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique.” The fashion line consists of clothing made from everyday objects that could be found on the streets of New York. Derelicte is a parody of a real fashion line created by John Galliano in 2000.

Stiller commented on the plot of the sequel:

It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe… it’s basically Derek and Hansel… though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.”
