A former Vogue editor, Filipa Fino, is set to publish a novel that promises to spill more secrets than Lauren Weisberger's bestselling "The Devil Wears Prada." In her own roman à clef, titled "Best Dressed," Fino will expose the inner workings of the fashion industry from an insider's perspective, making her book potentially even more explosive.
With over 11 years of experience at Vogue under her belt, Fino has undoubtedly accumulated secrets and stories that could make or break careers. As someone who worked closely with Anna Wintour, she is well-positioned to dish on the inner workings of Condé Nast's fashion behemoth.
The novel promises to include tales from some of the most iconic figures in fashion history, including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell meeting Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in 1998. According to sources, Campbell had requested a sit-down with Castro, which he agreed to, but things took a turn for the worse when she allegedly asked for 10 bodyguards, which was deemed unfeasible.
The novel also hints at more scandals and extravagance from the fashion world's heyday in the BlackBerry era. While no details have been released, insiders claim that designers and models will not be spared, with their real names changed to protect identities.
Fino expects to publish "Best Dressed" in May, with her account of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell meeting Fidel Castro already generating buzz. The book promises to tell a story that has never been told before, setting the record straight on some of fashion's most infamous scandals.
With Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly hanging out at the Nacional hotel with Moss, it seems Fino is about to take readers on a wild ride through the wildest and most extravagant days of fashion.
