Anna Wintour about “The devil wears Prada”: film was “funny” and representation “just”

In the global success film “The Teufel is wearing Prada” (2006), actress Meryl Streep (76) mimicked the fictional editor -in -chief of the fictional fictional magazine “Runway”. A role based on Anna Wintour (75), decades of editor -in -chief of the “Vogue”. Wintour found this representation as “just”.

The former “Vogue” boss subsequently expressed her thoughts about the book adaptation, which is inspired by Lauren Weisberger’s time as an assistant from Wintour. When asked whether she felt hurt by the film, the British recalled: “At that time I went to a premiere in a Prada dress and had absolutely no idea what the film would be about.”

“I believe that the fashion industry lovingly took care of me because it feared that the film would portray me in an unfavorable light,” she continued. But it was a caricature. “First of all, it was Meryl Streep who played Miranda Priestly, editor -in -chief of the fictional fictional magazine Runway, who was fantastic.” She found the film “very entertaining and very funny”: “I mean, they were all great. And in the end I found that it was a just presentation.”

Wintour said that she spoke “a lot” about the film with a friend and finally came to the conclusion that the blockbuster had reached his goal – and she has no resentment. Elsewhere in the podcast, she is still asked whether she “is actually enthusiastic when assistants move at a snail’s pace”, as the film says. Wintour quick answer: “Nobody at ‘Vogue’ works at a snail’s pace, most of my assistants.”

In June it became known that Anna Wintour resigned from her position as editor -in -chief of Vogue after 37 years. At the beginning of September that Chloe Malle, the former editor of Vogue.com, takes over the management of the editorial content with the American “Vogue” and replaced Wintour.

The continuation of “The Teufel is wearing Prada” with Anne Hathaway (42) and Meryl Streep in New York is currently being shot.
