As the top creative mind of what remains one of America's most important fashion magazines, Elle editor-in-chief Robbie Myers lives a fairly glamorous life.
But Myers is no Miranda Priestly, who you probably remember as the terrifying editor character played by Meryl Streep in the 2006 movie "The Devil Wears Prada." Myers is instead a soft-spoken and kind leader who prefers to stay out of the spotlight and instead focus on honing her craft.
Myers recently brought Business Insider along on a typical day in her work life. Though no two days are alike for this busy editor, what follows is a peek into her fascinating world.

Myers often starts her day at TurnStyle, the new shopping center located underneath Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan. She'll typically grab a coffee or juice before heading up to Elle's offices.
Some days she'll also grab a box of bite-size treats from Doughnuttery. The doughnuts are made-to-order, and you can get two different flavors per half-dozen. Myers, however, says she gets the cinnamon sugar doughnuts every time. "I'm a purist," she joked.
Elle's headquarters are on the 24th floor of the Hearst Tower. The offices are sleek and, on this day, noticeably quiet, probably due to the fact that the editorial staff had closed the magazine's September issue just a few days before our visit. Myers said that the calm was highly unusual. "I say that this is the only place where you can get aerobic exercise just in your office," she said.
