Having shown her latest collection in Milan for the first time last month, Jenny has also been called upon to dress the cast of the forthcoming The Devil Wears Prada (and even received a thank you note from the film's star, Meryl Streep, for her pains)

I read an interview about Pat Field on Yahoo yesterday regarding this film. Then afterwards I got my Vogue.com email and read the above statement. How can Jenny Packham be asked to dress the cast of TDWP when everyone knows Pat is doing it.

I think Vogue got the words wrong and it's something like she was called upon to send or give dress for the cast of TDWP to wear.

No one else but Pat could have styled this movie.

^Um...I think it's implied that Jenny Packham supplied dresses rather than actually styling the movie.....

In a funny twist of fate, Streep's next role will take her to a place about which Lohan might teach her a thing or two—fashion's front row. Streep will play a powerful fashion editor in the screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's tell-all The Devil Wears Prada. Streep did not enjoy being in the fashion world, she reports, least of all dressing the part every day.

"I just found it exhausting," she says, "all the attention to details that might as well have been jet engine parts, for all that I cared. Which bag? Which shoes? Which ring? Which earrings? How does it all look?" A more surprising revelation is that Streep does not model her performance on Vogue's Anna Wintour, who is transparently the titular she-devil in Weisberger's book, a work that Streep holds in low regard.

"I thought it was written out of anger," she says, "and from a point of view that seemed to me very apparent. The girl seemed not to have an understanding of the larger machine to which she had apprenticed. So she was whining about getting coffee for people. If you keep your eyes open [in that situation[, you'll learn a lot. But I don't think she was interested."

Streep adds that what fascinates her is the "special venom" that society reserves for powerful women—women like Wintour, Martha Stewart or Hillary Clinton. "The culture wants to cast them as cold," Streep says, "as if somehow they've lost their maternal bearings, their essential womanhood, to occupy this space. As if they've had to cut off their…whatever it is…to succeed." ...

well there's meryll's opinion of the book and anna. I'm inclined to think the same- the stories of anna being a b*tch and trying to stop a movie are just rumours. And probably only circulating because Anna refuses to talk about it. I found the book boring as hell and was basically a published bitchfest from a bitter assistant.

the movie looks cool though- but i abhor the fact that the assistant is making a packet from this.

guess what guys , i just got the book off ebay. I want to read it on the plane when i go overseas......The only thing is i dont leave till July, so I have to restrain myself from reading it till then....good luck to me

 

[estherlouise]

what meryll says about powerful women being cast as cold and not maternal is so true. and the irony is that women AS WELL as men stereotype these particular type of women

 

[brian]

Anna Wintour is said to have blackmailed and threatened them into backing out and Valentino's the only one who has enough guts to appear in the movie.

we won't be seeing much valentino in future issues of vogue....

I to agree with what Meryl said in W interview,the book was writeen with anger and the author didnt appreciate the position she was in,she could learn so much,yes Anna is more than demanding but frankly you have to be in her position specially when you are a woman there are so many people who would love to work for her just to observe her work but like M. said Laureen just wasnt interested!

 

[Caroline]

^i love the catty politics!

 

[Avant Garde]

Compare Miranda's office (annehathawayfan




And Anna's office (nymetro




See the similarities?

 

[susie_bubble]

^Omg....that is just too funny........

 

[lacy99]

That's no bad thing. Most of his clothes are a throwback to the 80s.

 

[masquerade]

I wonder if they are going to play up on the Hermes scarf thing?? It was kind of a big deal in the book.

Memo Pad: Devil May Care

The home used in "The Devil Wears Prada," as shown in Elle Decor.





DEVIL MAY CARE: With less than three months to go before "The Devil Wears Prada" opens in theaters, there has been some talk that Fox 2000 Pictures is not screening the film for editors of any Condé Nast magazines. The novel on which the movie is based was widely said to be a thinly veiled satire of Vogue, the titular devil being editor in chief Anna Wintour; thus, her colleagues might, out of corporate loyalty, feel obliged to slam the film. Or something like that.

Alas, this conspiracy scenario appears to be a work of fiction itself. While no one from Vogue has been invited to preview "The Devil Wears Prada," according to a spokesman, others at the company, including Glamour editor in chief Cindi Leive, have. Vogue's spokesman said the magazine would send its entertainment editor if asked; a Fox spokeswoman did not return a message, leaving it unclear whether the failure to invite Vogue was an oversight or a deliberate omission.

Some editors got a different sort of preview. Margaret Russell, editor in chief of Elle Decor, selected an Upper East Side town house for inclusion in the May issue, only to learn that the dwelling — owned by Caryn and Craig Effron and designed by William Diamond and Anthony Baratta — served as the set for the home of Miranda Priestly (the fictionalized Wintour, played by Meryl Streep). Russell elected not to mention the movie in the story. "That's not what Elle Decor's about, and I think it's sort of tabloid-y," she said.

In Style managing editor Charla Lawhon had her own brush with "Prada." Last summer, when the production used her block in SoHo as an exterior location, the bright overhead lighting invaded her bedroom and kept her up well into the night. Lawhon complained to a grip, who responded with a stream of profanity. The next day, recounting the incident at the office, Lawhon learned that Fox had requested permission to show a cover of In Style in the film. She ended up getting an apology, along with an invitation to help herself to anything from the on-set craft services table.

But while "Prada" author Lauren Weisberger may have modeled her villain on Wintour, whom she spent a year assisting, Streep did not take her inspiration from the Vogue editor, according to an interview in the May issue of W (WWD's sister publication). Nor did Streep find much to like about the book: "I thought it was written out of anger, and from a point of view that seemed to me very apparent," Streep says in the article. "[Weisberger] seemed not to have an understanding of the larger machine to which she had apprenticed. So she was whining about getting coffee for people. If you keep your eyes open [in that situation], you'll learn a lot. But I don't think she was interested."

Is this book really that good? What's it about?

the book is good in a beach read sort of way. i read it on vacation while on the beach, but i doubt i could read it in a serious setting

its about a flegdling writer who becomes the assistant to an anna wintour-like magazine editor at "runway" magazine. it was written by a former assistant of anna wintour and its just about her misadventures inthe fashion world having a horrible boss. and of course she has to have two love intrests that she is torn between

total chick lit
