"  Regardless if you liked that one fashion movie based on the life and times of that one fashion magazine editor who then inspired a fashion-ish reality show, if your wardrobe isn&amp;#039;t limited to fleece zip-ups and the same pointy black pumps you wore to your first interview, your heart, just like mine, dropped through your chest during the scene in which Frustrated New Assistant is introduced by Sympathetic Seasoned Editor to her new closet down the hall from her desk.  The subsequent montage of the now frustration-free assistant in a series of chic wool coats, trendy hats, slim calfskin driving gloves and &amp;quot;the new Chanel boots,&amp;quot; none of which we&amp;#039;re meant to believe she can afford on her own salary, leads us to reach only one logical conclusion: work at a fashion magazine, enjoy a free-for-all Fashion Closet borrowing policy. While I don&amp;#039;t normally consider myself a na\u00EFve person, up until my first morning here, I was under the distinct impression that, along with medical and dental, I would have unlimited access to any Balmain or Berardi in ELLE&amp;#039;s plan. In part because of the movie, in part because I plumb wanted so badly for it to be true, I envisioned dinner dates in the kind of sculptural sheath dresses only four-figures could buy and after work cocktails wearing the platform pump of the moment. &amp;quot;Oh these? No, not mine...but fantastic, yes?&amp;quot; I would breezily respond, my friends&amp;#039; jealousy tempered by the mutual understanding I&amp;#039;d opted for limitless RTW over a living wage and reasonable work schedule.  But no, this is not the case. Not even close. The truth is, unless you&amp;#039;ve earned a spot on the masthead within an inch of Ms. Myers&amp;#039; top title, sorry, but no new Pugh for you. But hey, at least it&amp;#039;s 60 degrees today! ZARA-bound, Johanna   Offering Mitsu (ELLE&amp;#039;s Fashion Closet Keymaster) my best &amp;quot;But I totally was wearing this Margiela jumpsuit when I came in...&amp;quot; look "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
