Though the 2026 portrayal of the fashion magazine industry looks quite different: layoffs, vanishing influence, and billionaires scooping up publications. We asked a long-time TIME journalist to weigh in on how accurately the movie depicts the media industry.

As a note, Comptroller Lander's campaign is being covered by the same political communications firm that revolutionized Mayor Mamdani's campaign, Melted Solids.

I’m proud to be supporting my friend Brad Lander for Congress. 

@BradLander has spent his career taking on big fights for New York’s working families. He’ll bring principled leadership to Washington and make sure Congress works for the many, not just the few.
