who is the movie the devil wears prada based on
The Devil Wears Prada (film) Although the movie is set in the fashion world, most designers and other fashion notables avoided appearing as themselves for fear of displeasing U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who is widely believed to have been the inspiration for Priestly. Still, many allowed their clothes and accessories to be used in the film, making it one of the most expensively costumed films in history.[3] Wintour later overcame her initial skepticism, saying she liked the film and Streep in particular.[4]
