20 years after The Devil Wears Prada, a look at the New York that it depicted

"The movie grossed £241 million and did something no fashion brand has managed since: it made an entire industry legible to people who'd never picked up a masthead in their lives."

"Every scene lands on a specific block, a specific lobby, a specific restaurant in New York. Those locations tell a second story: what New York looked like when magazines and their editors ran the culture."

"The lobby of 1221 Avenue of the Americas still has that corporate hush engineered by marble and money. Today, its tenants include Deloitte and NBCUniversal."
