GiGi : Thérapie Fashion
by Colette KebellVoici la mission de GiGi (de son vrai nom, Griselda Griswald, mais tout le monde l’appelle GiGi) : aider les gens à améliorer leur style vestimentaire, à développer leur estime de soi et, idéalement, à les rendre plus heureux. Être « personal shopper » est un art obscur, avec peu de retours concrets. Ses clients n’admettront jamais avoir besoin de son aide. Même sous la torture. Franchement, qui avouerait avoir besoin d’une Fashion consultante ? C’est comme pour un alcoolique : la première étape consiste à accepter de l’aide, et reconnaître que cette paire de jambières ne correspond plus à votre statut de cinquantenaire. Une fois cette étape franchie, vous serez sur la voie de la guérison et les services de Gigi vous seront utiles. Au grand dam de sa mère qui aurait préféré qu’elle fasse un « vrai travail ».
