![]() ![]() Priestly, whose fashion trademark is a white Hermès scarf (her staff have bought hundreds of the things, so she is never without one), is not the kind of woman to say please or thank you she punctuates every edict with the words 'That's all'. ![]() She is as warm of heart as Attila the Hun. Unfortunately, as she is shortly to discover, her new boss is hardly an encouraging patron. Andy doesn't give a fig for fashion - ancient sneakers are her favoured footwear - but she is desperate to bag herself a writerly berth on the New Yorker, and believes Priestly might just be the woman to help. Now (by way of revenge?), she has written a novel about a girl called Andrea Sachs, who goes to work for a tyrannical nightmare called Miranda Priestly, the editor of Runway. For a while, its author was assistant to Anna Wintour, the ultra-skinny, ultra-tough editor of American Vogue. The thought of this book, then, had me rubbing my hands with glee. ![]()
