female character - Lucy
18 year old Lucy has been living in London for 2 years, after she was persuaded to run away from her abusive father and the factory smoke of Manchester by her best friend Kathy, who convinced her that fame and fortune awaited them in the capital. But Lucy has had to fight tooth and nail to get anywhere in the modelling industry, and she is starting to see that she will never be the next twiggy. Jaded and alone in the big city (Kathy went back to her family after only two months), Lucy now works in Male West One, where she makes a connection with one of the regular window shoppers.
male character - Stephen
Stephen is 17, a second generation Londoner, son of Jamaican immigrants, and has learnt to deal with the stares that are apt to follow him when he takes to the streets. But Stephen is a trend setter, the first in his class with the new styles. He works in his father's grocery shop and spends his earnings on fabric, so he can recreate the clothes he sees on his forays along Carnaby Street. He makes sure to visit Male West One whenever he goes, in hopes of seeing a welcome (if often disgruntled) face.
