Military Chic

About the Book

Attention: fashion designers, models, magazine editors, style bloggers, publicists and party planners. There's a spy backstage and she's telling all... Gigi LaFaux is a fabulous gal following her fashion dreams as the new volunteer coordinator for Canada's premiere fashion event, Collections Week. Expecting haute couture, but getting HIGH DRAMA, she pulls back the curtain and discovers a frock-filled battlefield. The fashion industry is not just gorgeous clothes and beautiful models. More happens behind the scenes than you think. When Veronikkah Hendricks - the event's drug addicted and slightly unstable director - and her self-absorbed assistant, Francie Scrimshank, show up at Collections Week, things get unpredictable. Gigi and her volunteer team solve crisis after crisis for Veronikkah, until Gigi discovers a dark side behind the glittering facade of Canadian Collections Week. Veronikkah's secrets could destroy the Canadian fashion industry. Can Gigi save it? As you read Military Chic get ready to see what happens when The Devil Wears Prada meets The Art of War. Producing a fashion show takes military precision... and sometimes it takes overthrowing a dictator.
