Vogue Features Editor Fact-Checks 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'
A Vogue features editor fact-checks the sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada,' finding some details accurate but most fictionalized. The film depicts Andy Sachs returning to Runway as features editor after a PR crisis, but the editor notes that in reality, features editors at Vogue do not hover outside Miranda's office, pitch stories without groundwork, or take clothes from the fashion closet. The office set's blond wood and boucle furniture are partly accurate, but most staff sit at open-plan desks. The film's portrayal of a motley crew of journalists and Andy's apartment upgrade are also exaggerated. The editor confirms that friendships formed at Vogue are real and lasting.
