The Devil Wears Prada is The Godfather for Millennials

The newspaper where Andy accepts a job at the end of The Devil Wears Prada is called ‘The New York Mirror’. The importance of this name is not hard to deduce. They report the world as it “really” is: they mirror the reality of unions and labour, real work. After she leaves the interview, she walks past the offices of Runway, the Vogue-like magazine which she walked out of a few weeks earlier. They report on a shadow world, a fake world, a world of shoes and bags and scarves: they are creating their own little world, far away from what matters.
