Chapter 56 Rooftop Garden (please read)
After the serious chat, let’s chat for a while.
Xiang Yang was ready to go back to the designer’s public office area to help.
After all, the big show is the most important thing now. If you do it well, you can get bonuses, so Xiangyang will not be lazy.
"Let's go, give me my notebook." Xiangyang stood up and stretched, "Give me the assistant's list. I will give you the list after the screening."
"Get it yourself on the table." Flamel was about to close the book and hand it to Xiang Yang, but he inadvertently caught sight of a sketch in the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up.
It’s a skirt.
After seeing it, he pointed at the table casually, then smiled slightly and motioned for himself to take a look.
Xiang Yang didn't mind either. He waved his hand to indicate that he was free. He picked up the coffee cup and walked to Le Maire's desk to look for the list of applicants.
The list of designer assistants has been carefully selected.
Basically, they are all graduates from prestigious schools, and those who have become a monk rarely apply for this most laborious and hard-working position, but they can only do odd jobs.
But the position of designer assistant is very important. They are the cornerstone of a design team.
A good assistant can help designers save time to a great extent.
Looking through the interviewer's information, Xiangyang sipped his coffee and read it carefully. Regarding what awards the candidate had won while in school, Xiang Yang just ignored them without interest.
What he is more concerned about is whether these assistants have experience in board making.
In his view, creativity is only one aspect. Basic fabric knowledge is the priority and the most important thing for a good designer.
“The skirt you designed looks pretty good, especially the shoulder straps, which are very thin.
But what kind of fabric do you plan to use to show its drape? "
After Le Maire took the design sketch closer, he looked at it carefully. The sketch of the dress was perfectly designed. There were not many decorations on the whole skirt, only some embellishments on the skirt. .
If you look at it carefully, it is neither monotonous nor cumbersome. It has just the right amount of elegance that makes people imagine how graceful it is to be wrapped in such a skirt.
And the two thin shoulder straps on the left and right also fully demonstrate the unique softness of women.
The only drawback is that this dress is too attractive.
This type of skirt is only suitable for tall women.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, I have to look for it.” Xiang Yang raised his head and shrugged, smiling and said, “But if you turn it forward, I like that round-shouldered skirt better.”
< br>Hearing this, Flamel turned over the paper.
At first glance, the two pieces of clothing come from the same inspiration, but they are expressed in different forms.
One is to show femininity through thin shoulder straps, and the other is to illustrate the power of women’s shoulders through round shoulders.
Realizing the difference between the two, Flamel glanced at Xiangyang and smiled: "That's pretty good. Tell me, who gave you the design inspiration that made you suddenly jump out of your mind?" ?”
“You’ll know in a few days.”
After finishing speaking, Xiangyang waved the list and said, “Go ahead and go over the list and wait for the big show. Let’s have an interview together after that.”
"Okay, take it first." Flamel nodded, stood up and handed Xiang Yang's notebook to the other party, "Choose one for yourself, don't make yourself too tired."
Xiang Yang, "You should keep this to yourself, haha."
"I want to find like-minded people." Flamel pursed his lips. Unlike Xiang Yang, he cared about the designer assistant. They have more in common with design concepts.
He said this because he hoped that Xiangyang would not forget this aspect when recruiting design assistants.
"Okay, I understand." Xiangyang nodded, "Then you should pay more attention to rest, I will go and get busy."
"Well, let's go."
After the two of them finished speaking, Xiang Yang took his things and walked out of the office.
When he returned to the designer's public office area, he casually put the things he had brought back behind his desk, and began to help his colleagues for a while.
As soon as I was busy, I was busy until noon.
“Let’s go to the rooftop and smoke a cigarette together.”
"Wait for me and I'll come."
The tense fashion week is approaching. The entire art department of Hermès is overcrowded and extremely busy.
Even in the smoking area, people are sitting together in twos and threes.
Watch Creativity and R&D Department, Men’s Silk Fabrics Creative Department, Shoes and Jewelry Creative Department, Furniture World Art Department, Fragrance Creation and Heritage Department, Men’s World Art Department, Women’s Silk Fabrics Creative Department, Women’s Ready-to-Wear Art Department, Petit-h creative department, fashion accessories department, and beauty department, all gathered together.
Each expressed his/her own opinions, details and information about this fashion week.
At the same time, people who are familiar with each other will invite each other to go to which show. Basically, as long as you respond that you are interested, you will receive an invitation letter from that brand the next day.
Of course, the location may be relatively back, but no one will mind.
After all, the front row seats are reserved for distinguished guests, directors of various brands, editors-in-chief of fashion publications, and celebrities. There are very few designers who insist on squeezing to the front row to show their presence.
“Little Train, have you got an invitation to Elie Saab’s show?”
As soon as Xiang Yang arrived, before he lit his cigarette, a handsome guy greeted him.
Seeing him, Xiang Yang quickly put the cigarette in his hand back, pulled his shoulder and walked out of the smoking area, "Little John, why did you come here? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you? "
In French, the name Jean is equivalent to John in English, both originating from Hebrew.
Xiang Yang met him for the first time when they were studying abroad in the UK. Because they were similar in age and in the same dormitory, they got along well with each other, so he kept calling each other "Little John" in private. In response, the other party would also call Xiang Yang "little train" on any occasion.
“My dad went to the show today, something happened with Gaultier, and he has new ideas about the overall fragrance of the show.”
"Oh, then no wonder you are so blatant." Xiang Yang nodded.
Little John’s father’s full name is Jean-Claude Ellena. Generally, when he is mentioned, JCE will refer to him directly. He is the royal perfumer of Hermès.
As his youngest son, John Jr. has no interest in perfume, but prefers men's clothing design.
Hearing that his father was not at the headquarters, Xiang Yang rolled his eyes at him, pulled Little John back to the smoking area, handed the old smoker a cigarette, and said:
"Taste it. Taste, I brought it back from China.”
Little John took it easily, took out an old-style lighter skillfully, lit it and took a deep breath, "It tastes pretty good. Bring back as much as you can and share it with me."
"Dream, your dad lectured me last time I haven't forgotten it." Xiang Yang refused without thinking.
Jean-Claude Elena is very sensitive to smells. People who work in his department are not allowed to smoke during work. Unless he is not at the headquarters, it is difficult to see him in the smoking area. staff in his department.
Of course, smoking perfumers are also rare.
Those who come to smoke are basically employees who are responsible for other work in some departments.
"I've moved out to live by myself now. It's too uncomfortable to live with him. The apartment is not far from your place. How about watching football together when we are free in the evening?"
"I'm not Paris Saint-Germain. German fans are not interested."
"Look at what you said, men must learn to enjoy life." Little John smiled and asked casually, "You see, don't you understand? What? I heard yesterday that you had a relationship with an actress from your side, and Gaultier sent her an invitation for the first time. "
"Yes, yes." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes at the other party and asked with a smirk on his face: "Are you coming out because your dad doesn't like your model girlfriend?"
"As long as I like it, we are married."
Little John said with a smile, happiness on his face.
Although he was very free and easy, Xiang Yang was still a little stunned, "Ah, what!"
"I just went to the church and didn't even buy a wedding dress. After the show, we were going to go on our honeymoon. "Hold on tight, or I'll ask Laura to introduce you to her wonderful sisters." I took a few puffs of cigarette, but I still felt uneasy inside.
But seeing that his friend was quite happy, he thought for a while and asked: "John, do me a favor, have you ever smelled a very fresh smell in your dad's studio? Somewhat similar.”
"Green grass? There is also a bit of earthy fragrance?" Little John frowned, "The smell you are talking about should be woody, or a mixture of some fruits."
"I don't know, either. It just smells very pleasant."
"Comfortable?"
"It feels like this garden now."
" Garden? ”
