MIM WARNER’S LOST HER COOL
Book ID/图书代码: 03890011B49220
English Summary/英文概要: So hip it hurts
Want to know what’ll be hot next season? Just ask Mim Warner, the best coolhunter in the business. But Mim’s latest trend predictions ("slut" T-shirts for eight-year-old girls? Samurai swords for ten-year-old boys?) are troubling, to say the least.
Fearing that Mim’s about to be out like last season’s Capri pants and worried about what she’ll say next, her staff implements a Mim surveillance mission. With clients fleeing in droves and everyone around her in a tizzy, Meghan Resnick, Mim’s protegee, seems to be the only one in control of all her faculties. But watching Mim lose her cool is loosening a few of Meghan’s own screws. Suddenly she’s not sure of anything-her career, her future, her ex-boyfriend, even her judgment. When Mim-watching leads to the scene of a murder-with Mim leaning over the dead body-Meghan can’t help but wonder if her boss will be forecasting her next trend from Sing Sing.
An affectionate satire about the ins and outs of coolhunting, Mim Warner’s Lost Her Coolmines the mysterious forces that make a trend come together-and a woman fall apart.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 时髦透了吗?
想要知道下一季最新的流行时尚?那就该去问米姆·华纳(Mim Warner),业界最著名的时尚猎人。但米姆最新的潮流预报似乎出了点问题(让8岁的小姑娘穿上有写上”贱“字的t-shirt?让10岁的小男孩带上日本武士刀?)。
米姆的员工们一片担忧,害怕米姆会像上一季的七分裤一样即将被潮流淘汰,也怕她再次乱报时尚预报。为此,他们制定并执行了一项监督计划。尽管客户逃离史米姆周围的人群都都陷入了某种莫名的担忧与恐慌,但却有那么一个人--米根·雷斯尼克(Meghan Resnick),米姆的女徒弟之一,还能够保持一贯的镇定自若。然而看着米姆慢慢失去冷静,米根的内心也开始慢慢动摇。忽然之间,她对自己周遭的一切都开始怀疑起来---她的事业,未来,前男友,甚至她的判断力。当监督米姆演变成了发现谋杀现场-眼看着米姆斜倾在尸体正上方-米根不仅怀疑,难道自己老板的下一场潮流预报会从监狱里报出?
全书以兴味盎然的方式讽刺了当代潮流猎人的起起伏伏,《米姆·华纳疯了》讲述了一个女人是如何引起潮流,又是如何步步沦陷的故事。(DC & CK)
