The Devil Wears Prada

Adaptation, abridgment, and dictionary by L.F. Shitova.

The text has been shortened and adapted. Upper-Intermediate level.

A graduate of the journalism faculty finds herself in the alien world of the fashion business, where financial success dominates with its ethical norms. Andrea (Andy) has to endure endless humiliations in hopes of getting a position at a well-known newspaper. However, success has its price, which she inevitably pays with strained relationships with her family and loved ones. The glitzy allure of the high-fashion world obscures her vision, so when faced with a critical situation, she flails in search of a solution. A sacrifice is inevitable. What will she choose: the pursuit of success or humanity?
