Viac o knihe
An outrageously stylish and wickedly funny novel set in the digital age of fashion, this story follows Imogen Tate, the editor in chief of Glossy magazine, as she confronts her former assistant, Eve Morton, who is determined to usurp her position. Upon returning to Glossy after a six-month absence, Imogen is shocked to find her beloved magazine transformed. Eve, a recent Harvard Business School graduate, has implemented drastic changes—firing seasoned staff, relegating the managing editor to a supply closet, and replacing traditional practices with a team of trendy, tech-savvy underlings who communicate solely through social media. Despite her connections with fashion icons like Alexander Wang and Diane von Furstenberg, Imogen struggles with technology, having once accidentally switched her iPhone to Japanese for two days. Under Eve's leadership, Glossy has devolved into a digital sweatshop, where hackathons dominate the night and mandatory dance sessions to Beyoncé are the norm. Faced with the choice to either resign or embrace her inner geek to reclaim her magazine and career, Imogen must navigate this chaotic landscape. This glittering, uproarious tale offers an insider's perspective on the fashion industry while capturing the essence of our Internet-obsessed society.
