Chapter 963 The ‘big devil’ who has just emerged in the fashion industry
On the street of Fubao Avenue.
Standing upstairs and looking down, I really have to count the number of long guns and cannons at the entrance of the adjacent headquarters of HYS and Hermès.
It should be said that there are really many reporters gathered in Paris today.
There are reporters at the entrances of major brands with headquarters in Paris, and there are also many reporters near famous hotels.
Similarly, there are many reporters squatting downstairs in the pirate master's house.
"Karl, I was just drunk. That video is definitely not the whole story. I can guarantee this with my personality."
Inside the airtight curtains, sitting on the sofa wrapped in a silk nightgown, the pirate looked tired. His face was covered with beard and he had no energy as before.
Perhaps the word decadent may be more appropriate to apply to him.
Not long ago, he had co-written an apology statement with his lawyer and was preparing to officially release it tomorrow.
Although this did not help his dismissal from Dior, an apology still had to be made.
It was not because he wanted to gain the understanding of fashion executives, but within just one day his lawyer received contact from relevant people.
Compared with the fine of 22,500 euros that needs to be paid, how to escape a six-month prison sentence is a problem.
And to be honest, this case is probably going to involve a lot of his energy.
The attention will continue to grow as time goes by.
Then it will be difficult for his influence on the European fashion industry to change in a short period of time.
In addition to his shocking remarks, the video of him in a drunken state that is going viral on Youtube is also indispensable for making the whole thing such a big deal.
Of course, there is also the help of INS.
"But now there are only edited clips online." Karl Lagerfeld understood what he meant.
But who cares that this clipped video is not the complete version.
"Let's change the topic, Karl. I'm very happy that you called me. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be under such a lot of pressure."
In less than two days, the pirate who was still at Dior and enjoying great fame in the fashion industry became a street rat that everyone shouted at.
It is impossible to say that there is no fluctuation in your heart.
Especially after receiving the notice that he was fired from Dior, the anxiety of being eager to defend his remarks but not being able to find a suitable way made this feeling even more real.
"Don't say that, old man." Karl Lagerfeld sighed and said, "I also made the decision after hearing my assistant say that Schafer would have to visit you at this time."< br>
"."
Hearing this, the pirate master also sighed.
Thinking about the group of reporters outside his house who were eager to take pictures of his embarrassment, he originally wanted to reject Bea Shaffer's visit.
Maybe, these people will make up random things again and use the topic to their advantage.
But at this moment he wanted to find someone to talk to.
At this point, blind comfort is of no use. Karl Lagerfeld simply said: "Don't sigh, old man. Cheer up, so that you have the courage to face the next thing."
Knowing how much trouble he had caused, the pirate said helplessly: "I know."
Even when he said this, his voice sounded hollow.
Karl Lagerfeld got straight to the point: "Maybe I can help you."
"???"
Upon hearing the familiar name, the pirate master's first reaction was to be stunned.
What does this whole thing have to do with Xiangyang?
But soon, he understood what Karl Lagerfeld meant.
As a well-known designer, he is not familiar with many people in the media.
The key is that even a person like Galeries Lafayette, who has unique influence in the fashion industry, must take the brand's considerations into consideration and contact him privately. Whether it's a magazine editor or a TV reporter, they all have their own considerations.
To put it bluntly, it would be very righteous not to make news about him.
"I remember that I made a Vlog before. It was very popular both on YouTube and in their country. You might want to try to speak for yourself through such a channel." Karl Lagerfeld continued.
According to his understanding, the whole story was definitely not like the video that is now going viral on the Internet.
Although Mr. Pirate loves to drink, he is by no means an alcoholic like in the video.
And whose words are more trustworthy, strangers or friends who have been together for decades?
This question doesn't involve your butt.
Although some established facts cannot be changed, there is no way to make the real situation clear through effective vocal channels and to reduce the public's dislike of the pirate as much as possible.
After all, John Galliano is only 50 years old.
If he really left the fashion industry completely because of this incident, it would not be as simple as his previous falling out with Givenchy.
"I"
The pirate master swallowed his throat.
In his eyes, Xiang Yang is just a junior. He wants to ask a junior for help.
"If he didn't want to help you, he wouldn't have agreed to let Schaeffer get off the plane and come to you." Karl Lagerfeld said clearly.
"I"
Realizing that he was being pretentious, the pirate let out a sigh of relief.
This was an obvious thing, why didn't he turn around?
But then I thought about whether there was something wrong with him treating Xiang Yang as a junior in the industry.
The pirate master, who didn't even care how he hung up the phone, sat on the sofa blankly for a moment, then hurriedly pulled out the paper and pen with his apology statement from under the messy wine bottles and glasses on the table, and recalled this crazily. Things and reports related to Xiangyang over time.
《Y.M.C.A》.
Oscar.
Vlog
Damascus
London
You don't know if you don't organize it. After writing it down one by one, the pirate master rubbed his eyes in a daze. Since Christmas, Xiang Yang, whom he had regarded as a junior, has actually done so many things without knowing it, and these are all important and related to fashion.
Not counting the movie releases in China, or the football, hiking and cycling events related to HYS.
If you list them all
After reacting, the pirate master marveled at the paper in front of him and sighed again.
How influential will Xiangyang be in the future fashion industry?
The pirate master is not sure whether Xiang Yang can surpass him or Lafayette. After all, from the perspective of a designer, the status of the work in the circle plays a decisive role, but I am afraid that Anna Wintour's position is somewhat precarious.
Because both Youtube and INS are related to this young man.
Uh.
Blinking, the pirate master couldn't help but reveal a sad smile.
He almost forgot.
Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour also participated in this project of INS.
And this software, which was humble when it was first established, has developed into one of the mobile apps that people in the fashion industry pay most attention to in less than a year.
What was he doing at that time?
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
He is immersed in Dior's sales performance and is worried.
If he had spared even a little bit of energy to pay attention to and participate in INS, would he still not dare to click on INS on his mobile phone today?
Are you still having trouble finding a suitable voice channel?
It’s like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds!
Just as I cursed myself, a whistle came from outside the yard.
Seeing the battle in front of the pirate master's house, not only the driver, but also people like Bea Shaffer who had lived in the circle of reporters since childhood were shocked.
There are so many people.
However, Little John, who came in the same car, had an excited expression on his face.
This occasion was simply prepared for him!
Before he got out of the car, Little John quickly adjusted the buttons of his suit, trying to show his most handsome and confident side.
Even while still in the car, he began to smile towards the reporters taking photos outside the car window.
Are you afraid of being scolded when you come to see the pirate master?
This is nothing.
“Sorry, it’s not convenient for me to be interviewed today.
Schafer and I came here on behalf of Hermès Films based on previous collaborations and out of respect for John Galliano's previous work.
We feel that it is correct to express our attitude at this sensitive time in a more formal way.
Equality and mutual love should not be provoked. I unreservedly condemn the impact of John's behavior, but I believe John is also aware of this."
When he got out of the car and faced the reporter with the microphone almost in his face, Little John had obviously prepared his words on the way here.
While picking up Hermès and Xiangyang, they also used the art of language to diss the LVMH group that fired the pirate master with only one announcement and was reluctant to use paper and ink.
He really didn't believe it, no one could hear what he said.
"Regarding the Oscar win, we will hold a formal celebration tomorrow." After saying the first thing, Little John did not forget to add gold to his face.
Although "The King's Speech" was the real winner at this Oscars.
But "Black Swan" won the best actress and best artistic direction, "The Social Network" won the best adapted screenplay, best original score, and "The Untouchables" won the five statuettes for best foreign language film. Not bad either.
But judging from the reaction of reporters at the scene
All right.
The just-concluded Oscars ceremony has become Madam Niu in the face of various hot topics that occurred in the two days before Paris Fashion Week.
"Mr. Jean, you also mentioned the sensitive period just now. What is the purpose of your brand's decision to invite Ms. Asma during the fashion week?"
"Mr. Jean, did Xiang's speech at the Oscars reflect his true feelings about his previous trip to Damascus?"
"Mr. Jean"
Although the reporters who blocked Little John, Bea Shaffer and the staff of Hermès under the pirate's apartment shouted "Mr. Jean" louder and louder, the topics they asked were all heading towards the sun. .
This made Little John frown.
"Didn't I pick them all out?"
Before Little John finished complaining in his heart, a reporter quickly asked: "Mr. Rang, could you please tell me how Mr. Xiang commented on the pirate master's wrong remarks?"
"." Little John took a deep breath. I'm not the roundworm in his stomach. You think I'm Liu!
"Although he did not make a clear statement, I believe that my boss's views on this matter are the same as his speech on the Oscars stage." Bea Shaffer took a small step forward.
"Yes!" Little John gritted his teeth in agreement.
After the words fell, the reporters became even more excited when they saw the two people starting to respond to questions.
Only this time, the reporters all turned their microphones towards Bea Shaffer.
"Ms. Schaffer, please"
"Ms. Schaffer."
"." Seeing this scene, Little John felt unwilling in his heart.
If Xiang is not here, it will be fine if he steals his limelight.
After all, it was necessary to leave a well-established friend to take the blame and resist the thunder, but why did Bea Shaffer attract the attention of reporters with just one sentence?
How can this be done?
Just in case the pirate master upstairs is quietly observing every move below through the gap in the curtain.
No, I have to find a way!
Seeing that the highlight was getting further and further away from him, Little John, who had suddenly made up his mind, moved forward without leaving a trace, blocking half of Bea Shaffer's body behind him, and said to the reporters who were still asking questions. ：
"I bought a book on the way back to kill time. Books are tools for cultivating the soul. I think a sentence from this book can best describe what happened to the pirate master.
It is the human heart that releases infinite light, and it is the human heart that creates boundless darkness. ”
After he finished speaking, not to mention that the reporters didn't react immediately, even Bea Shaffer, who had always looked down on Little John, showed a surprised expression.
When did Little John become so smart?
Wait a minute!
Bea Shaffer, who was surprised at first, immediately realized that the few words that popped out of Little John's mouth were excerpts from "Les Misérables".
Why did Little John read this book on the plane?
It's not like her boss Xiang Yang insisted on letting this guy buy it for JoJo.
My Boss is indeed the one.
