This is just one of the many ridiculous tasks that Andrea Sachs was told to do while working as the assistant for Miranda Priestly, the esteemed editor of Runway magazine. Andrea is a determined girl, who ends up working for the fashion magazine trying to get a recommendation from Miranda, which could get her the job of her dreams. Andrea’s goal is to become a writer for The New Yorker, but she needs to work for Miranda for an entire year before she can get there. The Devil Wears Prada follows Andrea’s journey, as she tries to balance her personal life and her job, tries to deal with her boss, or the devil who wears Prada, and gains exclusive insight into the fashion industry as she goes. A strong part of The Devil Wears Prada is Andrea’s comical voice that helps to move the plot forward. Her amusing inner soliloquys create a light and often sarcastic tone throughout the novel. When she is in the office and Miranda’s newest husband asks her about her life, Andrea thinks: 1 What’s going on? Hmm, well, let’s see here. Really not all that much I suppose. I spend most of my time trying to survive my term of indentured servitude with your sadistic wife.

  • The Devil Is in the Details: How the Devil Wears Prada Brands the Image of the Fashion Journalist
    THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: HOW THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA BRANDS THE IMAGE OF THE FASHION JOURNALIST BY PRISCILLA HWANG Introduction It’s the job “a million girls would die for,”1 if you’re into fashion, that is. And you have to be willing to do anything to keep your job working for Miranda Priestly, the terrorizing editor-in-chief of the fictitious Runway magazine. Author Lauren Weisberger illustrates the cruel and superficial world of fashion journalism in her 2003 best-selling novel The Devil Wears Prada – the adapted screenplay of the book was a box-office hit in 2006. Weisberger proves that working as a fashion journalist is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. Andrea “Andy” Sachs figures it out the hard way when she unintentionally finds herself working for Miranda Priestly as her second assistant.2 Inadequate at first, Andrea’s lack of fashion sense and sophistication is ridiculed among the thin, gorgeous employees of Runway. After all, this is the glossy world of fashion magazines where even a bad hair day can get you fired.3 It’s an exclusive universe of socialites, celebrities, high-end designers, sought-after photographers, and front-row seats during Fashion Week in Paris, Milan and Italy.4 It’s a members-only club for those in-the-know, and as Andrea painfully learns within a year, all you have to do to get there is scrape every inch of skin off your back to please the Miranda Priestlys of the fashion world. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: HOW THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA BRANDS THE IMAGE OF THE FASHION JOURNALIST BY PRISCILLA HWANG 2 Weisberger’s novel indirectly mirrors her own past experiences working as an assistant to an editor at Vogue, one of the world’s most prominent fashion magazines.5 Those in the fashion industry will confess – the merciless Miranda Priestly seems to be a carbon- copy of Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.

  • (1957, P. 203) in Erliska (2017: 122) Reflection of the St
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study According to Dahl (1957, p. 203) in Erliska (2017: 122) Reflection of the strength that is in the devil wears Prada novel by Lauren Weisberger 2003, which tells of a character who wants to show strength to strengthen a relationship with power. Judging from the phenomena of life, feminists are organized ideas or desires as well as a practical action plan, rooted in the critical awareness of women about how culture is controlled by meaning and action by men, for their benefit. Theory of Power states that the state is formed based on power. It is the strong man who first establishes the state because with that power he has the power to impose his will on others as insulted by Kallikles and Voltaire: "The first king is a successful soldier". Leon Dugult mentions someone in power because of his strength or because of his privileges, either because physical, intelligence, economic or religious can impose his will on others. Feminists describe the struggle of a woman who wants to do everything to change a situation where she is. Therefore, feminists strive to make community resocialization, where everyone is allowed to develop and express all the potential that exists without having to be bound or intimidated. Concerning Marxism, there are still differences of views about the socio-cultural system between people who are strong and powerless. Power is an important factor that can determine the fate of the poor. Feminism itself is very closely related to power and power. Power is something that dominates and something that can cause emphasis and unfair behavior on a party or relationship (Amy, 2016, p.
