Chapter 174 Chanel Show and Eating Alone (Please subscribe!)
Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week officially started on July 10th.
Haute couture is different from ready-to-wear. There is a big difference. The people they are suitable for and the consumer groups they target are not at the same level at all.
From this point, it can be seen that Fan Xiaopang lied when he was interviewed by the media, but it did not count as a lie.
Between haute couture and ready-to-wear, a new type of clothing was born after World War II. It retains some of the techniques of haute couture to a certain extent, but also uses very expensive fabrics. However, it is produced according to certain standards of ready-made garments.
Its name is ready-to-wear.
The price of this kind of high-end ready-to-wear is also very expensive, with 6-digit and 7-digit prices often seen.
But compared to advanced customization, this is only the starting price stage.
At 8 p.m., the Grand Palais in Paris, a majestic building made of stone, steel and glass, was crowded with people.
The ceramic frieze in the mosaic structure is mainly located between the architraves and cornices on the front of the building, close to monumental ornaments to decorate the media interview area near the outer wall.
Xun Ye appeared on the show wearing a Chanel classic haute couture suit, paired with a red patent leather belt from the newly born "Paris-Moscow" haute couture workshop series, and a red bracelet from the "Paris-Venice" 09-10 early spring vacation series.
Kim Ji-hyun, who was with her, appeared in a CHANEL09 Spring and Summer Ready-to-Wear Starting Point series little black dress and holding a CHANEL09-10 Autumn and Winter Ready-to-Wear series dinner bag.
Two Asian heavyweight movie queens appeared on the scene, giving people different feelings.
Master Xun is like an elf who has fallen into the world, clean and refreshing, and his petite and exquisite figure seems to have a powerful body. The other one, Kim Ji-hyun, a former model, seems to be a soft oriental muse, endearing and at the same time inadvertently showing off her sex appeal.
Little John and Xiangyang, who were standing on the stone platform not far away and preparing to enter, did not go there to join in the fun.
The two are familiar with each other and are preparing to enter the show with a group of designer friends.
However, the cheers of the media still caused the designers who had just admired several stars such as Anna Muglalis, Elodie Boucher, and Gianna Battaglia to stop.
After stopping, they took advantage of the height of the stone platform to look out, taking in a panoramic view of the excitement in the media interview area.
“Xiang, are those two stars of your China?”
“No, one of them is not.”
"They are all quite beautiful, especially the one who has a good figure. But the thinner one has more aura."
"Who says otherwise."
Chat After a few words, because they had to visit the show, they exchanged opinions casually and hurried in.
Chanel’s haute couture shows often like to use giant devices to embellish it.
Following the big bow, the classic Chanel jacket, the carousel, etc., this time Galeries Lafayette used the classic bottle of Chanel No. 5 as a device for this giant stage.
"It is still Chanel's high-end show that is willing to pay for it." Xiang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Gaultier's personal brand fashion show will be held in the next two days. Compared with Chanel's show, the meaning of his show is not the slightest bit different.
As soon as you enter this show, it will make you think a lot.
"Who makes people not short of money."
Hearing Xiang Yang's words, Little John smiled slightly, put his arm around his friend's shoulders and said sideways.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows: "I'm talking about Little John, can we keep a distance in public places? It's hard for me to explain your intimate behavior to my colleagues."
"Look at what you said. Is this human talk! Who in the circle doesn't know our relationship?" Little John let go of his hand with disdain. After his trip to China, he felt very resentful towards Xiang Yang.
Yes, that city called Hangzhou is truly as beautiful as ‘paradise’.
But its food, especially the vinegar fish we had on the first night, was not as delicious as the rotten meat from hell.
But he found it strange to say that the same style of fish he ate at a mountain villa that night with Ms. Jiang Qiong'er was delicious.
It seems that in China, only by following older people can you eat good food.
Little John concluded.
He thought Xiang Yang knew this simple truth, but deliberately didn't tell him.
"Haha, I don't have a good relationship with you. You brought a folding umbrella to fool me when you came back." Xiang Yang's voice also revealed his dissatisfaction.
Based on careful observation, he noticed that the 'Paradise Umbrella' the other party gave him had obvious signs of use, but in order to disguise it as new, this guy didn't even take off the umbrella's tag.
Are you asking him to keep it and take it home to return it?
When he thought of this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but tease the other person, "Sick guy."
Hearing Xiang Yang's resentful tone, Little John shrugged, "You have to pay attention, today Just the two of us, be careful when I go back and complain to Liu while you look around here."
"She doesn't even bother to believe your lies."
"Hey, it doesn't look like I have it anyway. My girlfriend is obviously a star, but she can only stay at home and cannot go out to enjoy the show.”
"Yeah, some people's wives are models, but they can't even go on the stage of fashion week."
Xiang Yang glared at Little John, meaning come on, keep hurting each other, who cares? It hurts more.
Looking at Xiang Yang’s attitude of wanting to fight to the death, Little John tilted his head and said, “Don’t tell me, this show is really well designed. I want to take two photos and go back to Laura for appreciation. "For a moment."
His words instantly wiped out the tense atmosphere between the two.
Xiang Yang nodded and responded: "Yes, it's really beautiful. I'll take two pictures and give them to Liu Qianqian to enjoy."
Other designers: "." While Xiangyang and Little John were touting the layout of the show, several people came to their seats in the third row.
Not long after, the invited guests also arrived one after another.
Far away, sitting in a prominent position in the first row, Anna Wintour wearing sunglasses seemed to know where Xiang Yang and Little John were sitting, and waved her hand in this direction after taking her seats.
This made Jin Zhixian, who was communicating quietly with Master Xun not far from her, a little curious.
She looked in the direction Anna Wintour was greeting, and among a group of casually dressed people, a handsome Asian guy and a handsome curly-haired guy were waving in response.
"Brother Xun, do you know who the person over there is?" she asked softly.
"Which one?" Because he was a little excited, Mr. Xun, who was smiling, looked at the direction indicated by Jin Zhixian, squinted his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, and explained with a smile:
"Oh, Those people are designers, they should be relatively famous, otherwise they wouldn’t be invited to participate.
But I don’t know the Asian person you asked about.”
"Oh, that's it." Jin Zhixian smiled gratefully.
This was her first time coming to Chanel's haute couture show. She also knew that the people there were designers. She just wanted to know who was greeting Anna Wintour. What is the name of the Asian designer?
On the side, Elodie Boucher, who was listening to the two people communicating in English, looked at the two of them with a smile. As a French star, she was very concerned about these designers who often appeared in various shows during the fashion week. We know more about it than the two Asian stars, Xun Ye and Kim Ji Hyun.
She smiled slightly, pointed over there and explained in English:
“They are designers from the Gaultier team and the Hermès team.”
"That's it, thank you."
Master Xun glanced at her a few more times, her voice was a little hoarse, she nodded and thanked her in French.
"Thank you." Kim Ji-hyun also quickly sent a gentle thank you.
“You’re welcome, the Asian guy inside is from the same country as you. His name is Thomas Xiang, and he is a very potential designer. He was the costume director for "Midnight in Paris" some time ago. I heard that Natalie Portman is preparing to film "Black Swan" as well."
"So awesome," Mr.
Because of the matter with her boyfriend, she didn't pay much attention to the news in the entertainment industry recently, so she felt very curious.
"Midnight in Paris" she knew, after all, the news that Liu Qianqian participated in it caused quite a stir in the domestic entertainment industry.
But this designer.
To be honest, generally no one pays attention to this.
But others don’t know that Mr. Xun, who really didn’t pay much attention to the costume design of this movie before, knows the secrets behind it.
After all, her ex-boyfriend is a designer.
He is also a designer for Hermès or Gaultier’s team, and he is also a costume director for Hollywood movies.
“It would be great if we could get to know each other.”
Jin Zhixian sighed softly, which resonated with Master Xun.
As we all know, even though Mr. Xun has rich relationship experience, what she likes most is this kind of talented person. But it's a pity that the show is about to start now, and it's too late to go.
Unlike Mr. Xun, Jin Zhixian wanted to make friends solely because of what she had just seen and heard. How could you not be tempted to get to know a designer who can greet the old witch so casually and has experience of working together with her?
Unfortunately, neither of them got what they wanted.
After the 65 sets of wonderfully designed Looks came on stage in turn, Xiangyang and the others only said hello at the beginning of the celebration dinner after Karl Lagerfeld came out, and left quickly. The scene of the big show.
As for the two of them, they didn't have time to pay too much attention to this matter. They wanted to wait until they took a group photo with Lafayette, only to find that they had different thoughts when the other party left.
Jin Zhixian felt a little regretful and sighed regretfully.
Mr. Xun didn't care at all. She was as happy as a child holding the specially brought 'Karl' teddy bear, and she was admiring the signature of Mr. Lafayette himself.
“It’s so beautiful, so touching.”
This is what she said to the domestic media after enjoying the show that day.
The photo of her shaking hands with Karl Lagerfeld was also immediately sent back to China by the media.
When I woke up the next day and saw Fan Xiaopang who was filming on the set, my heart that was not jealous but only envious was instantly changed by the media release.
That night, returned home.
The first time he saw Liu Qianqian, Xiang Yang handed over the gift with both hands, "Here, the chocolate you like."
Liu Qianqian took it and saw that it was the same as the last time the two of them quarreled. The last box was exactly the same. She opened the box gently and saw the thank you card filled out by Karl himself. She put it aside with a smile, took out a chocolate from it and put it in her mouth, showing a satisfied smile. With an expression on his face, he asked casually:
"Is the show good-looking?"
"Very good." Xiang Yang stretched out his hand to take one, but Liu Qianqian slapped her hand aside in disgust.
Xiang Yang smiled coquettishly, "Well, give me one."
"No reporters are interviewing?"
Liu Qianqian's voice sounded a little unclear as she held the chocolate in her mouth.
"No, we took another passage." Xiang Yang looked at Liu Qianqian with pleading eyes, and then took a look at the chocolate.
To be honest, he knows the brand of this chocolate.
Also bought it.
But it seems that he has never seen this packaged box before. Even Little John, who received this gift, was surprised.
What can I say? This chocolate is so valuable
No matter how expensive it is, you can’t eat it alone!
