It seems like everyone and their mom saw The Devil Wears Prada 2 this weekend (as they should). And as much as I’d love to use today’s newsletter to dish about all the celebrity cameos and OTT fashion moments, one thing stuck out to me: Miranda Priestly’s signature brand of ice-cold intimidation isn’t exactly aspirational anymore. So… if the “iconic” toxic boss is out, why are so many of us still dealing with one?
