THE WEARS PRADA By Lauren Weisberger 360 pp. New York: DOUBLEDAY. $22 Lauren Weisberger’s first novel, The Wears Prada, is a tale of life as a subordinate at the fictional fashion magazine called Runway. The novel centers around Andrea Sachs, a recent Ivy Leaguer who is hoping to break into journalism. Andrea’s ultimate goal is to work at The New Yorker. Being fresh out of college, Andrea hopes to jump her way up the career ladder. She accepts the position of being the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the highly prestigious editor-in-chief at Runway Magazine. Her new job has nothing to do with her ambitions of writing or editing, but it has almost everything to do with predicting and completing the notions of her prima donna boss. However, in return for one year’s work, Andrea is promised her boss’s recommendation, which she hopes will land her a good job at The New Yorker.
