In the dizzying world of New York fashion, where
size zero is the new 2, six is the new 8, and a
bad hair day can end a career, Runaway Magazine
is the Holy Grail. Overseen with a finely
manicured fist by Miranda Priestly--the most
powerful woman in fashion--Runway is a fearsome
gauntlet for anyone who wants to make it in the
industry. To make Runway the fashion bible of
New York and therefore the world, Miranda has
let nothing stand in her way--including a long
line of assistants that didn't make the cut.
It's a job no self-respecting person can
survive, yet it's an opportunity a million young
women in New York would kill for. A stint as
Miranda's assistant could blast-open the doors
for recent college graduate Andy Sachs. More
college drab than haute couture, she stands
alone among the small army of "Clackers" on
staff at Runway--superslim fashion divas
clacking their stilettos down the halls of the
magazine's Manhattan headquarters. But when Andy
comes in for the job, it dawns on her that
making it in this industry will take more than
drive and determination. And her ultimate test
stands before her in head-to-toe Prada. Miranda
can spin the fashion world like a basketball but
has a devil of a time finding and keeping a good
assistant. Andy is completely wrong for the job.
But she has something the rest of them don't:
she refuses to fail. To become the perfect
assistant, Andy will need to make herself over
in Miranda's image. Soon, much to her
boyfriend's dismay, she can talk the talk, walk
the walk and never again confuse Dolce with
Gabbana. But the more of life she sees through
Miranda's eyes, the more she begins to grasp
that Miranda's world is a fabulous but lonely
one--and that sometimes great success depends on
great sacrifice. But at what cost?
