Miuccia's Devil Wears Prada Verdict

Not every designer would take kindly to their name being used in the title of a film that shows off the worst stereotypes of the fashion industry, but Miuccia Prada took it in her stride when 2006's The Devil Wears Prada was released, despite having initial reservations.

"I was terrified- the book was awful," she told Italy's Corriere della Sera of the big-screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's novel. "The film, on the other hand, was fun."

Starring Oscar-winning actresses Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, with a cameo from Gisele Bundchen, the film was a runaway success, grossing over $120 million at the US box office. Anna Wintour - widely believed to be the inspiration for Streep's magazine editor character, Miranda Priestly - showed similar good humour to Miuccia, attending the New York premiere of the film wearing Prada.
