One of the biggest and most creative changes to "The Perfect Find" is the digital series of the same name that becomes Jenna's career save and celebrated work baby with Eric. In the book, Jenna's concept revolves around recruiting stylish celebrities and influencers to come up with an item they've always dreamed of owning but could never find. Then, as their "fairy stylemother," she gets the scoop on their personal style (all recorded by Eric thanks to his USC master's degree in film) and gives them $50 to have their dream item made, aka their perfect find. The items then get sold as 30 limited-edition pieces on Stylezine, where readers mob the website to get their hands on them. However, the movie puts a whole new twist on the digital franchise — a vintage Hollywood twist.
Instead of the aforementioned, Union's Jenna comes up with a plan to milk people's nostalgia for her series (which her entire job depends upon) by having a designer recreate classic garments and accessories from iconic films — like Dorothy Dandridge's striking red and black ensemble in "Carmen Jones" (worn by Remy Ma in the Netflix movie) — while Eric films the celeb or influencer modelling them. It becomes a massive hit at Darzine and scores Jenna and Eric that infamous magazine article that blows the cover on their hush-hush romance.
