Anna Wintour’s Former Assistants Reveal What The Devil Wears Prada Got Right (and Wrong)

Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: three of Anna Wintour’s former assistants—Sache Taylor ( Vogue ’s director of special events), Sammi Tapper (director of operations and content strategy), and Marley Marius (senior editor, features and news), or “Anna’s Angels,” as Chloe calls them—join The Run-Through to discuss what The Devil Wears Prada got right (and wrong). They break down the real day-to-day of the job, from managing the infamous “book” to why there’s so much running around the office—and share whether assistants ever actually get to wear pieces from the Vogue closet. One of the funniest revelations: how hard it can be to decode Anna’s handwriting. While Marley claims that she became fluent, Sammi reveals that even Anna has trouble reading it sometimes. Also in this episode, Chloe tells Chioma all about her big week, which included seeing Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway and going to Saturday Night Live with her mom, Candice Bergen; and Chioma joins in on The Devil Wears Prada fun, sharing what she wore to her interview with Anna and advising anyone aspiring to work at Vogue not to make the mistake of wearing black. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
