Chapter 77 Is Hua Mei delicious? (Seeking for further reading)
Catwalk
Like fashion, there are subdivisions.
Compared with Paris, London, Milan and New York Fashion Week, in people’s perception, ‘Victoria’s Secret’ is more popular among people.
The reason is because it is a commercial catwalk.
Fashion weeks consisting of haute couture and high-end ready-to-wear are just the opposite. They always examine the public's aesthetics from a high-profile perspective. Therefore, the models in the high fashion week are all white, thin and cold, while the Victoria's Secret show is full of enthusiasm and sweet smiles.
The white and thin beauties at the Haute Couture Week were basically expressionless when they walked on the catwalk, showing more ‘clothes’ than ‘self’.
And Victoria's Secret...
...
In the Hermès show, the lights suddenly dimmed.
After the sound of film playing, the soothing and gentle sound of piano sounded, and a long hum seemed to bring time to the past...
It was "As Time Goes By" from "Casablanca".
"You must remember this..." When the first lyrics popped up in his mind along with the tone, Liu Qianqian leaned forward slightly, looking forward to enjoying the show, and covered her hands with her slender fingers in surprise. He took off his open lips.
She remembers this charming song and this classic film.
It is a love movie released in 1942, produced by Warner Bros., and adapted from the 1940 stage play "Everybody Goes to Rick's Hotel", starring Humpherson Bogart and Ingrid Berg. A black and white film starring Manchester United.
A love story that takes place in Paris and Casablanca.
Won three awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay at the 16th Academy Awards in 1944.
Even after years of wasted time, he is still engraved in people's hearts and was selected as one of the "100 Best Films in History" by Time magazine in 2005. In the 2007 Hollywood Writers Guild's selection of the "101 Greatest Movie Scripts" in history, the film ranked first.
“The whole world is about to fall, but we chose this time to fall in love.”
“There are so many towns in the world, and there are so many pubs in them, but she walked into me ”
"If the plane takes off and you are not with him, you will regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"We own Paris."
“…”
Accompanied by the music, the models walking on the catwalk walked past Liu Qianqian’s eyes one by one, and the classic scenes and lines from the movie appeared in her mind. .
Unknowingly, Liu Qianqian was led to appreciate every piece of clothing displayed by the models in this show.
She listened with some fascination and watched with concentration.
It wasn’t until more than 10 long minutes passed, and thunderous applause erupted from the show, that she realized that it turned out that a show without too many luxurious decorations, as well as those low-key, simple, and restrained ones, could not be seen. No matter which brand of clothing it is, it will also make people intoxicated and addicted.
“I want to look into the distance.” Looking at the slightly old glider, Liu Qianqian suddenly felt the urge to ‘escape’ in her heart.
It’s better to have someone by your side and set off now...
“We will always have Paris!”
"We will always have Paris!"
After the show ended, Gaultier returned to the backstage excitedly. From the staff, makeup artists, assistants, designers to other department executives present, they all cheered for this performance. An almost perfect show.
Amidst the cheers, someone unknown brought flowers and sang "La Marseillaise" while celebrating Gaultier.
No matter how the fashion editors outside evaluate this show, it doesn’t matter what the subsequent Showroom and subsequent women’s clothing sales performance will be.
At this moment, no one will be stingy with joyful applause to release the pressure that has been raging in their hearts for a long time.
The applause didn't stop until all the lights in the front and back courts came on. "I'm so envious." Xiang Yang, standing in the designer team, smacked his mouth in envy with Hua Mei in his mouth.
Don’t mention it, these sweet and sour snacks are quite addictive to eat, one after another.
"It will be us next time." Flamel took a deep breath, and with a beard, he looked at Gaultier with admiration and envy in his eyes.
Although the clothes on display also include their works, there is no doubt that they are.
The director is the brightest one.
The two of them were still sighing. The moment the backcourt began to open, reporters with special permission were invited into the backstage first, as well as editors from fashion magazines.
Unexpectedly, Gaultier did not accept a separate group photo, but instead invited the entire design team and the person in charge of each on-site link to accept an interview and group photo with the "Vogue Legal" team.
This sudden thought made the entire backcourt entrance seem a bit crowded.
The key is that in this situation, you can’t leave even if you want to.
So it was delayed for a long time. After cooperating with the interview, Xiang Yang came out from the backcourt.
Seeing Liu Qianqian sitting at the far end of the T stage, the corner of Xiang Yang's mouth curled up slightly.
Different from before, when she saw Xiang Yang coming from the catwalk again, Liu Qianqian stood up calmly, smoothed the hair on her forehead, smiled generously, tilted her slender neck slightly and looked at other side.
“The show is very nice, but I didn’t recognize the clothes you designed.”
A smile flashed across Xiang Yang’s face and he said, “So I’m here right now.”
"Then, show commentator, are you ready?" Liu Qianqian's eyes were clear, her black eyelashes lining her cheeks, "I have paid you in advance.
Are the plums delicious?"
“It’s quite delicious,” Xiang Yang nodded and made a gesture of invitation, “Ms. Liu Qianqian, could I spare you some time and introduce you to our autumn and winter ready-to-wear this year in detail?”< br>
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side.
Actually, Xiang Yang didn’t call Liu Qianqian to the backstage just to call her to the Showroom to admire the clothes that the designer assistants had just put together. Instead, he took her to meet Gaultier and Flamel to express his gratitude.
No matter what, they sent the invitation letter after all.
As he expected, when the excited Gaultier saw Liu Qianqian, he gave Xiang Yang a thumbs up and then gave Liu Qianqian a polite hug.
Then he also took the initiative to call a reporter from "Vogue Law Journal" to come over and help take pictures.
Compared with him, Flamel was much shy, and his reserved expression made Liu Qianqian feel a little embarrassed.
After taking a good turn in the backcourt, Liu Qianqian, who was a little tired, turned her head and looked at Xiang Yang, "Are we going to stay here until the celebration party is over?"
"Well, we have activities to do later. If you are tired, shall I find someone to take you back first?"
Liu Qianqian raised an eyebrow when she heard this.
"How about, how about..." Xiangyang felt his throat was dry and itchy. Facing her gaze, he pinched the small plastic bag of Hua Mei in his trouser pocket with his helpless fingertips and let out a crisp sound. "Crack" sound.
Having just thought about it this morning, he should not be too greedy for beauty. He stared at Liu Qianqian's pretty cheeks in front of him, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
Just when he was cautiously preparing to take out a plum and return it to the other party.
A subtle soft voice pulled him out of his embarrassment...
"Xiang Yang, do you have time to have a drink together later?"
PS: The chapter about Hua Mei at the previous airport appeared. The background of the 2009 Hermès autumn and winter ready-to-wear show was a combination of airplane propellers and music from "Casablanca".
