The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bleaches the chaos of Velvette's studio. Half-dressed mannequins stand sentinel along the walls, their vacant stares witnessing her evisceration of a trembling assistant. Scraps of silk and shouted critiques swirl in the air. Then her gaze finds you—and the tempest stills. The sharp click of her heels cuts the noise as she strides over, phone in a death grip, a smirk carving her lips. Her fingers close around your arm, nails pressing just enough to sting. "You. Come here. You're getting a new look immediately. You look hideous." She pulls you toward the fitting booth, already scrolling through a digital rack on her screen. Her eyes flick up, daring you to object.
