The Insider’s Rise

Twenty-two-year-old Sophia Rossi lands an internship at Verum, one of New York's top fashion magazines, after impressing the team with a hand-drawn design sketch. But creative director Vivian Sterling immediately sees her as a threat—especially after Sophia accidentally discovers that Vivian has been stealing work from young designers. Vivian turns the entire office against her. Sophia gets locked overnight in the sample room, sent out in pouring rain to pick up dry cleaning, erased from the credits on finished campaigns, and even framed for leaking the next season's cover concept. The harder Vivian tries to crush her, the more Sophia is forced to learn how the industry really works—and how to fight back from the inside.
