Radio drama title research

We realised that the title for out radio drama was a bit misleading.
The initial title was Village girl however Lauren is not from a village and never has been, she is just a quiet individual trying to break loose in the fashion industry. The main theme of our story is 2 women who are rivals fighting for success in the spotlight of the fashion industry. So our radio drama should reflect rivalry, fashion, success, or Lauren's life as she is the main character. Whatever we decide on must be subliminal and make listeners think and grab their attention. This is the only piece of information as well as a brief overview/summary of what to expect from the drama- Therefore it has to be good.

To begin my search i decided to look at 'fashion slang' websites to hopefully find fashion terminology that describes our radio drama. I came across two useful websites and found two possible titles.

Website number 1:

Website number 2:

Initially I thought something original like Fashion would be okay for a drama title. but after looking at TV dramas such as Eastenders, The Bill, Holby City, and radio drama such as the Archers I saw that it covers a range of individuals living or residing in the place the drama is named after. In this case we have a set Adversary and Protagonist If we were to name it after something so broad like the fashion industry it would be misleading as our audience would be expecting a wide range of characters and multiple story lines running at once, not that this can not be achieved in the long run, but i think it's best to relate the title to what we are offering our target audience at this very moment.
