The Devil Wears Prada - How Andy Predicted the Girlboss Era
In The Devil Wears Prada, the protagonist, Andy Sachs, gets the kind of opportunity people dream of. But in order to benefit from it, she needs to give up part of herself. In this spin on the Faustian bargain, Andy’s transformation from a poorly-dressed, out-of-work journalist to a jet-setting, high-fashion working girl is more cautionary than aspirational. Eventually Andy rejects the Girl Boss fantasy and the earthly pleasures of her deal with the devil of the fashion world, choosing a path more true to her core values. So what is it about Miranda Priestly's Girl Boss, Lean In-style path to success that is so tempting to our onion-breathed heroine, and how did Andy’s final decision prefigure today’s scorn for the false promise of the whole Girl Boss myth?
