TAXI GIRL: Mannequin
Paris, late at night, neon reflected in something expensive and slightly broken.
Mannequin is synth-driven coldness delivered with existential shrug. Where the UK scene was spiky, Taxi Girl were sleek - but no less disillusioned.
It’s detached in that very French way that suggests intense feeling carefully concealed behind good tailoring. Minimal, stylish, and faintly doomed. Exactly as intended.
