Interview with Alice Pung
'There are paradoxes living in Braybrook, Sunshine and Footscray where you could be incredibly poor money-wise but you could be incredibly wealthy fashion-wise if your Aunty sewed for Country Road. She could have a bunch of Country Road labels left over, bits of off-cut fabric where she could fashion them into 200-dollar slacks in about a day...if, you know, she's kind enough to make you a birthday present. And, if you had relatives who imported things from overseas, you could have your fake Gucci handbag – so you can look incredibly well-heeled and incredibly affluent even though you live in the concrete commission house.'
