Lauren Weisberger's 'The Devil Wears Prada' and Its Anna Wintour Inspiration
By
Kate Dries
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The article discusses Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel "The Devil Wears Prada" and her efforts during the press tour to distance the book from its obvious real-life inspiration — her time working at Vogue under editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Weisberger claimed the horror stories came from friends in publishing and fashion, though the parallels to Wintour were widely recognized.
