Chapter 27 A ‘Surprise’ for Xiangyang (please read~)
Hearing this, Flamel’s heart trembled.
“Sports series?”
Before coming to Hermès, Christopher Le Maire had served as the creative director of Lacoste, and Lacoste has an inseparable relationship with a sport.
Tennis.
Rene Lacoste, who was born in 1904, made a bet with his teammates during the 1923 Weiss Cup. The bet was an alligator skin suitcase.
He won the game and also earned the nickname "Alligator".
Because there was no proper noun for alligator in French at that time, when this nickname was reported in France, it was spelled "lecrocodile", which meant not giving up his alligator casually on the tennis court. prey.
In 1927, Lacoste's good friend Georges suddenly embroidered a crocodile on his tennis shirt to wish his friend good results in the Meiliguo Championship...
Follow With the birth of the brand named after himself and the accumulation of time, this crocodile also followed Lacoste's classic Polo shirt and entered everyone's field of vision. Because this brand has an inseparable relationship with the French Open, it has gradually become a reference to tennis. For every sport, relevant brands will be mentioned.
Just like when everyone talks about football and basketball on weekdays, they also discuss Adidas and Nike.
“.Combining sports style with fashion, you have experience in this and have achieved success, try to bring it to Hermès.”
Meet Lemay As he pondered, Gaultier smiled and talked about a lot of his thoughts in this regard.
"But..." Flamel did not deny that this was a good idea, but it was not easy to implement.
“Talk to your little train when you have time. You know he will often come up with some amazing ideas, right?”
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Gaultier pointed out the direction.
When he learned that two designers with completely opposite design styles to his own came to Hermès, Gaultier, who had been in the fashion industry for so many years, understood at that time that his era at Hermès was over. .
The impact of the economic crisis is in all aspects.
Reflecting on the fashion industry that is chasing topics, trends, and hot spots, the resurgence of minimalism is one of its manifestations.
"I will." Flamel took a sip of coffee.
"In my opinion, you should make him more responsible. Don't always hide him behind your back. For talented young people, tempering also requires them to cross the ravine of the past. Only those who cross the past will stay. Only then can he be called a genius, right?" After Gaultier finished speaking, he looked at the time on his wrist.
"Yes." Le Maire agreed with this view. He himself also experienced the failure of creating a personal brand before he realized a lot of things. "I have thought about it too, but you know, he and We are different, aren’t we?”
In terms of career, Le Maire is equivalent to Xiang Yang’s leader. In terms of personal interactions, the two are also very good friends.
So unlike Gaultier, Le Maire showed more concern.
After all, Xiang Yang is a Chinese, not an ethnic Chinese. Even if you succeed, there will be irresponsible remarks. And when faced with failure, who can guess how those vicious media and media people will criticize and criticize?
"So, there is not much time left for him." Gaultier naturally understood what Le Maire meant, but he still reminded the other party that the economic crisis will pass sooner or later. "If you want him to bear more, you have to make him go through something, right?"
"What do you mean?" Flamel couldn't help but frown and look at the other person, he always felt like he was being It feels like being led along, but you have to think according to the other person's way of thinking.
Because, he is right.
“You know, encounter.”
“Encounter?”
"I didn't expect that, haha." During the exchange, Gaultier, who mentioned the interesting story of the little train that went astray, smiled happily. He admired this young man's talent very much. However, he felt that Xiangyang's design concept was too 'conservative', perhaps due to the influence of Le Maire.
There is a maturity that does not belong to his age. The boldness and innovation that young people should pursue, excessive stability will undoubtedly stifle a highly talented designer.
Looking at the confused Flamel, he smiled and said: "I'm different from you. I don't resist working with celebrities, and the same goes for Asians.
9 years ago, I I also worked as an artistic director for a singer’s concert in Hong Kong, and of course he also made movies.
I am very satisfied with the results, but I was criticized quite badly by the Asian media.
< br>
So don’t you think it’s a good idea to let Xiang Yang take advantage of the big show to experience the media spotlight? You can't box him too tightly, nor can you protect him like a child, but you should inspire him and spur him to grow up. "
Le Maire raised his eyebrows, and when he looked at Gaultier, who was known as the "Fashion Naughty", again, he couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, he has an unconstrained mind, and he couldn’t help but admire it inwardly
“What do you mean? Invite a star to watch the show, let Xiang Yang accompany you, and accept an interview? "Le Maire smiled.
Gaultier has many celebrity friends in Europe and the United States, especially in Hollywood.
In 1990, Madonna’s classic tour look was designed by him. The ‘cone bra’ caused quite a stir in the fashion industry at that time and is still remembered today.
“Look at you,” Gaultier shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips, “That little actor is quite good.
European and American media have no regard for such Asian stars. Interested, the little train can also feel the enthusiasm of the media in his hometown, isn’t it good?”
“That must be quite fun,” Le Maire laughed out loud for some reason, “tell him. ”
"Will you tell the recipient in advance what the birthday gift is?" Gaultier shrugged, "To be honest, I quite like to see the little guy panicking.
He usually It’s too boring, you know.”
“Haha, indeed.” When he thought about telling Xiang Yang the news that he was going to replace Gaultier, the expression on his face and Flamel’s smile became even more intense. Play with it.
"Okay, since you agree, I will find someone to send the invitation letter in the next two days." After Gaultier finished speaking, he drank the coffee in his hand as if he had taken a sip of strong liquor. , rolled his tongue. "The relaxation is over. It's time for me to go back and prepare for my farewell performance. Think carefully about the sports series. I think you shouldn't let go of this part."
"Don't worry, I will."
The two ended their conversation. As for the Chinese actress in Xiangyang's topic, whether it was Flamel or Gaultier, in fact, they couldn't even name her and couldn't remember her appearance. After all, who would care about a tool? Woolen cloth.
As long as she dresses beautifully that day and sits next to the sun, that’s it.
…….
On the sky, gray turns to orange, and then to Lemon yellow.
The ringtone of the mobile phone started to sound "ding ding ding, ding ding ding".
Opening his eyes and looking at the ceiling hesitantly, Xiangyang closed his eyes again... He was so sleepy that he wrinkled his eyes hard before he felt a little awake.
His eyes were a little sore, and the alarm clock in his ear made him a little confused. After yawning a few times, he climbed out of bed, turned off the alarm clock, picked up his phone and looked at it, it was 7:30.
Several unread messages showed that they were all sent by Flamel.
"What else do you need to see me for?" Xiangyang got out of bed and clicked on the message. He went to the bathroom with his numb head and read the message.
Sports series? Gaultier?
"What the hell? Forget it, let's go eat first."
Xiang Yang was stunned, and with a frown, he put his phone on the small shelf in front of the mirror.
In the mirror, the whites of his eyes were red, achy and itchy.
After washing his face and arranging his hair, he changed his clothes and sprayed some perfume before leaving the room. I smoked too much last night, and my clothes, room, and hair all stank.
Stepping out of the small hotel and standing at the door, the fragrance filling the oncoming air was emitted by the early morning sunlight hitting the bamboo forest.
It has the thickness of soil and the freshness of plants.
Xiang Yang frowned and smelled the refreshing smell vigorously.
"Young man, if you want to have breakfast, go to the right. There is a breakfast stall over there. It tastes good."
"Okay, thank you."
Xiang Yang thanked him and took steps forward, "It seems that Lao Gao is a little reluctant to leave..."
Asking for recommendation votes, monthly votes, recommendation votes. In fact, in reality, the two big designers wouldn't care about this kind of thing. After all, the fashion industry doesn't have much interest in such scandals and gossip, and they won't pay attention at their level. But for the fun of the story, A trade-off was made. I hope the party won’t take it too seriously, thank you!
