Perhaps one of the most famous publishing buildings in the world, Cond� Nast has always held a position of fairy-like mystique for those of us who are not privy to what goes on inside its perfectly painted walls. I'm sure many of us would love to be a fly on the wall and observe a day in the life of Anna Wintour, but�Kelly Florio Kasouf's new book might just be the next best thing.
Daughter of the late Steve Florio, the former president and CEO of Cond� Nast, Kasouf is picking up where her father left off. WWD reports that before he passed away, Florio was in the middle of writing a book. As a tribute to his work, Kasouf wrote her own take on the many years she spent inside the iconic Cond� building.
The tome is titled The Super Adventures of Sophie and the City: All in a Day's Work and tells the story of a little girl who spends the day wandering through her father's office building visiting various magazine worlds. None of the publications are directly named, but all are recognizable: Vogue, Brides, Vanity Fair and Cond� Nast Traveler are all included. Even Andr� Leon Talley makes a cameo.
We're loving the idea of turning Cond� Nast into the theme of a children's book, a must-read for any pint-sized budding fashionista. Since Kasouf had her first "one-on-one lunch" with Anna Wintour at the tender age of ten, it's no wonder that she connects 4 Times Square with memories of her childhood.
Eloise might have Weenie, Nanny,�Skipperdee, and the Plaza Hotel, but nothing can top letting your imagination run wild up and down the floors of Cond� Nast. The book will be sold exclusively at Barneys, but you can pre-order your copy on the Barneys website. Will you be grabbing a copy once the pages hit stores?
