Carla, Sharon and Duey have worked in fashion for longer than they care to remember, for them, theres nothing new under the sun. They're Generation X: tired, cynical and sick of being used.
Tommy, Cal and Kurt are Millenials, they've come from nowhere, but with their monied families behind them theyre ready to remake fashion. They represent the new sincere, the anti-irony. Both generations are searching for a way out, an alternative to their messed-up reality.
Pip Adam's new novel walks the streets of Auckland city now, examining the fashion scene, intergenerational tension and modern life with an unflinching eye. From the the wreckage and waste of the 21st century, new animals must emerge.
