Unraveling the fashion scene of Manhattan of 80s, ‘Fabulous Nobodies’ by Lee Tolloch will soon be given life, as the so called ‘revenge novel’ is being adapted into a film by ‘The September Issue’ director R.J Cutler.
The critically acclaimed 1989 novel penned by the fired former editor-in-chief of Australian Harper’s Bazaar for being too creative, revolves around Reality Nirvana Tuttle – the fashion obsessed, up talking, strong headed door girl at a nightclub in Manhattan of 80s. The
protagonist’s love for everything fabulous – from a Chanel tattoo to 80 club clothes to Reality talking with her frocks – make the story fashionably gripping.
The book came in being when author Lee Tolloch left Sydney for New York City seeking revenge after being fired as an editor to only fall for the vagaries of the glitz and dark of fashion later.
