Like Amy Odell, who wrote the book Anna: Biography:, in 2022. In a TikTok video, she testifies about what Anna Wintour’s former assistants told her when she was writing her book: They are permanent emails and for everything. “I want to see this person,” “A coffee please,” it doesn’t stop. But this is not all. apparently they also had to take care of the editor’s dogs, find them when they ran away, or even carry his bag from the car to the front door.
Perhaps the most famous of Anna Wintour’s former assistants is Lauren Weisberger. He, who wrote a novel about his experience in 2003, was paid $250,000 (€230,000) by Hollywood and turned into a movie. The Devil Wears Prada!.
