CamperDays offers a tour of the iconic locations from the first film and other must-do activities for fashion lovers.
New York is not only the city that never sleeps, but also the setting for one of the most iconic stories about fashion and power, which returned to cinemas with a sequel on 30 April, 20 years after the release of the first film. In this new instalment, Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly face new challenges that reflect how the fashion industry has evolved and the relationship between mentor and protégé in an increasingly dynamic and competitive sector.
To mark this return to the big screen, CamperDays invites you to revisit some of the most iconic locations from the first film and discover corners of the city that connect with the world of fashion and style surrounding its protagonists.
McGraw-Hill Building (1221 6th Avenue, Midtown Manhattan)
The façade of this building served as the headquarters of Elias-Clarke, the fictional publishing house where Runway magazine is based. Its modern lines and large windows reflect the atmosphere of power, pressure and glamour that defines the demanding publishing world led by Miranda Priestly.
SoHo and the streets of Manhattan
Much of Andy’s transformation takes place whilst walking the streets of Manhattan, particularly in areas such as SoHo, where the luxury shop windows, boutiques and the city’s frenetic pace reflect the essence of the fashion world surrounding Runway magazine.
Central Park and its footbridges
The park’s exteriors and its iconic bridges feature as part of the urban landscape surrounding the characters’ daily lives, showcasing the contrast between nature and Manhattan’s architecture—one of the city’s most distinctive visual elements.
St. Regis Hotel (2 East 55th Street, Upper East Side)
This historic luxury hotel serves as the setting for some of the film’s most sophisticated moments and symbolises the exclusive, aspirational world in which Miranda Priestly moves.
American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West)
The museum hosts Runway’s spectacular charity gala, one of the key moments in which Andy demonstrates that she has mastered the demanding social and professional world of fashion.
Bubby’s (Tribeca)
This New York café features in several of Andy’s more personal scenes, representing the contrast between her everyday life and the sophisticated, demanding world of the magazine.
Andy Sachs’ flat (Broome Street, Lower East Side)
Andy’s modest flat reflects her early days as a young journalist newly arrived in New York, and symbolises the contrast between her life before *Runway* and the glamorous world she is beginning to enter.
Beyond the cinema, New York offers a real connection to fashion through essential cultural venues that every fashion lover must visit. The Metropolitan Museum of Art – Costume Institute is famous for its haute couture and historical costume exhibitions and for hosting the iconic Met Gala, showcasing some of the most spectacular and glamorous pieces in the history of fashion. For its part, the Museum at FIT focuses on the evolution of fashion and textiles, with educational collections that explain how clothing, accessories and design reflect social and cultural changes and trends over time.
CamperDays proposes taking a step further towards a different way of travelling around the city and its surroundings. The company offers motorhome hire in New York, with pick-up points located from 22 km from central Manhattan, in Linden and Bay Shore – strategic locations for starting a flexible route through the metropolitan area. Specifically, the Linden station is located about 33 km from Broome Street, where Andy Sachs lived, allowing you to extend the experience beyond the city centre and explore New York and its surroundings with greater freedom of movement.
To explore these iconic settings, simply stroll through the city and let yourself be swept away by the experience of seeing New York through the eyes of Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly, where film, fashion and architecture intersect at every turn.
