Multiple reports say Anna Wintour’s former assistants have shared accounts of their experiences working for the Vogue editor, in interviews with journalist Amy Odell. The women describe a work environment that they say included strict expectations around professional conduct and appearance, characterizing the role as fast-paced and highly controlled. They reportedly mention a “non-negotiable” dress code, as well as “hazing” on weekends. The assistants also describe communication practices they characterize as intensive, including a “constant” stream of emails. The outlets also state that their comments help explain how elements attributed to The Devil Wears Prada were drawn from Wintour’s management style. The reports frame the disclosures as personal recollections from former staff, discussing routines and working conditions rather than presenting new official workplace findings. The accounts are presented as reflections on the day-to-day culture and expectations surrounding Vogue’s editorial leadership during the assistants’ time at the magazine.
