It tells a story about Andrea Sachs a college graduates from Avon, Connecticut majoring in journalism who working in fashion magazines office, Runway Magazine. Miranda is the editor of Runway Magazine, and she needs two assistants to keep her hectic office life in order. She hires Andrea even though she has no interest in fashion because she seems to be hard-working and determinative. This analysis aims at showing the readers how Andrea, the main character, could overcome the situation in the office in which lifestyle also becomes the very life in it. Encountered with such dynamic life, Andrea seems to be absorbed in it. Her lifestyle changes. The writer makes use of cultural studies approach elaborated with Theodor Adorno’s consumerism and Thorstein Veblen’s theory of leisure class with some little support from Naomi Wolf’s the myth of beauty. Thus, it is the complexity of individual ambition, social influence, and the belief on the myth of beauty that becomes the very heat of the study.
