Pashmina, Angora, Aphro, and Felinez—best friends and budding fashionistas—are about to enter the contest of their lives: the Catwalk competition. Each year, students split up into fashion houses and compete to design, produce, and show fully original fashion lines. The winner gets a scholarship, a professional show, a trip abroad, and a real shot at a career in fashion. Five fashion houses assemble their teams and prepare for the competition. The House of Pashmina is ready to prove its catitude and pure fabbieness—will it have what it takes to win?
Bouncy, smart, and sassy, CATWALK introduces girls to a fashion world where there truly is room for everyone. With its spot-on slang and clean, bubbly story, CATWALK is sure to score major purr points with teen and tween readers. Deborah Gregory has included a glossary of terms from CATWALK, with definitions for words such as shopportunity, feline fatale, purrlicious and many, many more.
