Book that inspired the blockbuster film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
The fashion world is not for beginners. Especially in New York. To gain a foothold—even the slightest—often requires trying the hard way. Or even selling your soul to the devil. But is it worth all the sacrifice? Lauren Weisberger expertly poses the question with charm and good humor in her novel *The Devil Wears Prada* , which reveals, in detail, the stories of easily identifiable characters in New York's fashion world. The result is a delightful book, faithful to the best style of the new women's humor literature, a hit with audiences in the United States, having already been published in 27 countries and which hit theaters in 2006, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
Lauren Weisberger worked as an assistant to the all-powerful, beloved-and-hated editor of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour. Therefore, any similarity between *The Devil Wears Prada* and reality is no coincidence. In this irresistible novel, the reader will meet Andrea Sachs, a young recent graduate who lands a job that should make thousands of girls green with envy: assistant to Miranda Priestly, revered editor of Runway Magazine, the most successful fashion magazine of the moment. She soon realizes, however, that the job a million girls would die for may just end hers. Suddenly, the young journalist finds herself in an office where the words Prada, Armani, and Versace are law and begins to experience the fascinating world of fashion up close. Fascinating, but not all that glamorous. She soon realizes that, instead of writing fashion features and editorials, her job at Runway will be to cater to her boss's whims: Andrea must pick up Miranda's clothes from the dry cleaners, hunt for babysitters for her children, track down, from the New York office, the driver who left Miranda standing in the rain on a Paris street corner, and quickly provide solutions to her most outlandish requests. Miranda is the embodiment of nightmares for Andrea.
With The Devil Wears Prada , Lauren Weisberger offers a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world. A smart and funny novel.
