In scenes reminiscent of Andrea Sachs at the beginning of The Devil Wears Prada, a 25-year-old Chloe Malle turned up to her interview at Vogue wearing black tights (an Anna Wintour no-no), boots that were falling apart and a “very boring” dress.
“I think back to my interview at Vogue and I’m a little embarrassed,” Malle, now 39, said as she looked back at the 2011 grilling with Wintour, for a position as a social editor.
