Chapter 176: ‘Family Identity’ Look at Haute Couture (please order!)
On the day of the show.
In the morning, Gaultier’s assistant delivered the dress.
I also brought a makeup assistant.
In that show in 2007, apart from the clothes, what was the most outstanding thing?
Of course it’s the “teardrop makeup” on the face!
Yao Zhi's colorful, gorgeous and stunning teardrop makeup makes people look back with pity for a moment. All subsequent uses of religious style are more or less influenced by Gaultier's 2007 show.
And teardrop makeup
Little Mustang in the Korean girl group often shows this makeup on stage.
After blending the upper and lower eyelids, draw or paste some sequins on the inverted triangle area of the eyelids to create a big eye effect and make the eyes look dewy. Her fans once praised her to the sky.
But few people know that "tear makeup" has a long history in China and the West.
The way of interpretation is also different.
In China, tear makeup specifically refers to makeup with white powder on the corners of the eyes that looks like tears. It has the same effect as high-gloss silkworms. It appeared in the Tang and Five Dynasties. This makeup looks like tears. , looks sad and sad, but also has the meaning of simplicity.
It was one of the most important makeup styles in the Song Dynasty.
During the sacrificial ceremony, some qualified women often wear this makeup to worship their ancestors. In the Song Dynasty, the words "tears are more important than thin rouge" and "when the moon falls in the west building, the tears are spread evenly" are used to refer to this kind of makeup.
Of course, women from wealthy families also often wear similar makeup in their usual elegant outfits.
According to historical records, this makeup was invented by Yang Guifei’s sister, Mrs. Guo Guo.
In the West, the display form of 'tear makeup' is more intuitive, or it is more in line with the fashionable tear makeup. Because it often appears in early European classical art statues, it is often found in Virgin sculptures.
Images of weeping Madonnas are rare. Even in Michelangelo's "Lamentation of Christ", the Madonna's sadness is forbearing.
But it’s different in Spain.
Every year in the week before Easter, Spain holds a grand Holy Week festival to commemorate the Passion of Jesus. Legend has it that during a Holy Week gathering centuries ago, people shed tears when they saw the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and they admired it.
The statue of the Virgin raised her head and smiled slightly.
Since then, the statue of the Weeping Virgin has been called the "Icon of Madonna Magalina". As an important branch of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, it is regarded as a national treasure by Spain.
In many Baroque churches in Spain, this kind of statue of the Virgin with tears can often be seen.
In addition, teardrop makeup also appears in the paintings of painters, the most famous of which is Picasso's "Crying Woman".
Ever since Gaultier experimented with the 'teardrop makeup' at his personal brand Haute Couture show in 2007, and then promoted it through METGALA's celebrity promotions, this makeup has been deeply loved by celebrities.
Fan Xiaopang, Jennifer Lopez, Wang Fei, etc. have all tried it on different occasions.
Every time I try it, it gives people a stunning visual sense.
As for who is the perfect performer, every celebrity fan has his or her own preference, but tying it to the face of a certain star is really a bit laughable.
After all, in the fashion industry, it is Jessica Stan who interprets it to the extreme, a model who can show different styles and has the ultimate baby face.
In addition to shining in the HC (haute couture) fashion show, she also conquered commercial shows like Victoria's Secret.
Whether she was opening the show or wearing angel wings, she made people exclaim, but her results in Victoria's Secret gave people more of a sigh.
The makeup is set very well and the clothes fit perfectly.
Except for making some adjustments to Liu Qianqian’s chest, the overall effect is very satisfactory to Liu Qianqian herself, the makeup artist and Xiang Yang.
“Xiang, do you want me to design a hairstyle for you?”
"Me? I don't have to."
Xiang Yang waved his hand and refused: "I'm just here to join in the fun for you."
"Xiang, listen to me, just design one, you have the foundation. Very good, just mess with your hair a little bit.”
“That’s okay”
It’s different from Chanel’s choice of the Grand Palais, and it’s also different from Dior’s choice of Chantilly Chateau. His personal haute couture show is located at the Rodin Museum.
Rodin is one of the greatest sculptors after Michelangelo.
The famous ‘Thinker’ is his masterpiece.
Unlike the 100-meter red carpet, there is a lot of rush before entering a big show.
In the open area in front of the Rodin Museum, people are flowing. The media are strictly required to stay in the interview area. The security personnel try their best to control the smooth flow of passages to avoid crowding caused by too many people staying.
There were also some passers-by who came to join in the fun, eagerly waiting in the quarantine area to see the stars of this year's Gaultier show.
"I'll park the car in front, and you take Laura and Liu in first."
"Okay, I'll wait for you inside then."
Little John, who was driving the car, noticed There was still a way to go to the entrance of the Rodin Museum, so he turned his head and said to Xiang Yang.
In the car, apart from the two ladies’ elaborate dress and makeup, neither Xiangyang nor Little John looked like they were coming to see a show, nor did they look like they were speaking in a tone of voice.
Except for their slightly spicier attire, they were just like going shopping together.
While the two were joking, Laura smiled at Liu Qianqian. Their clothes were very similar, both were blue skirts from the 2007 show.
Just because of the difference in fabrics, the styles are very different.
Laura is wearing a silk evening dress, and Liu Qianqian’s is it
Before, Laura always felt that colors with relatively low saturation were suitable for Liu Qianqian, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Different from the Asian faces that are mixed up in the fashion circle, the contours of Liu Qianqian’s face are more distinct with exquisite makeup. The tip of her nose is slightly curved, and her lips have been decorated with light and elegant lipstick. With teardrop makeup, she looks There was a hint of emptiness in the clear eyes.
And her figure is not like the skinny HC supermodel.
A head of thick black hair fell on her skin as white as snow, and her delicate round shoulders revealed a healthy and carefree look, which she praised.
“It’s almost here.”
Xiang Yang said.
The car slowed down slowly and drove into the approaching motorcade.
Each invited guest would get out of the car quickly when the car stopped at the door. After scanning the entrance, they quickly walked into the show venue at the invitation of the staff.
Some will cooperate with reporters to take photos, but leave their names.
Sorry, this is the 2009 haute couture show, so this is not the way to go.
After Little John stopped the car, Xiang Yang got out of the passenger seat. He was in a good mood and patted Little John on the shoulder to express his gratitude before getting off the car.
After all, it was not easy for him to borrow a Bentley from JCE. But as soon as he got off the car, Xiang Yang immediately noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be too many reporters at the entrance of the passage, and the crowd surrounding him also immediately took out their mobile phones.
“It’s strange, it’s not Chanel and Dior here, why are there so many reporters.”
After muttering, Xiang Yang opened the door and invited Liu Qianqian and Laura to get out of the car one after another.
During this period, he also helped two pretty ladies tidy up their skirts like a gentleman, no different from a celebrity assistant.
When Laura and Liu Qianqian got off the station, flash lights came on in the media interview area not far away.
The onlookers who joined in the fun also made a sound of exclamation, and the mobile phones in their hands kept clicking.
"Let's go in first."
Close the car door and Xiang Yang said with a smile towards the two of them.
"Okay." Liu Qianqian smiled and nodded, holding Laura's arm, while Xiang Yang walked beside him and asked: "Are you going to be interviewed?"< br>
“Haha, no way.” Laura smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not going either, hehe." Liu Qianqian's eyes stayed for a few seconds, then she immediately withdrew her eyes and winked at Xiang Yang and Laura.
She is a star.
But she attended today as a designer’s ‘family member’.
Just by her smile, the surrounding eyes were immediately attracted. The "sad" color muse also had a moment of brilliance. Those who recognized Liu Qianqian's dress couldn't help but admire her.
He quickly came to the door and after showing the invitation letter, the usher took the three people to the visiting area first.
While leading the way, he was communicating with the people inside through the headset.
Soon, someone familiar to Xiang Yang appeared in front of him.
“Why are you here free?”
Facing Gaultier’s special assistant, Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, this should be his busiest time. After all, Gaultier has several personal brand responsibilities. He is busy backstage and has no time to sit with the stars in the show at the show. They offer pre-show photo opportunities.
The person with him was Axel Dumas, the future head of Hermès, whom Xiang Yang was going to introduce to Liu Qianqian.
“Hey, Xiang, why don’t you introduce the two muses to me?”
Axel, who came to Gaultier’s personal haute couture show as a special representative of Hermès, Before Gaultier's special assistant could answer, he stretched out his hand with a smile. After shaking it with Xiang Yang, he looked at Laura and Liu Qianqian and nodded gently.
"I was about to say." Xiang Yang smiled, "This is our Hermès"
As soon as he spoke, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from outside the door not far away. The sound interrupted Xiang Yang's words.
Everyone's attention at the entrance of the show was immediately attracted.
Just when Xiang Yang was confused, Gaultier's special assistant couldn't help but smile. He gently pulled Xiang Yang, leaned into Xiang Yang's ear and said:
"This It’s a surprise prepared by Gaultier, take your time, haha.”
Xiang Yang: “??”
Little John parked the car, wondering what happened at the show. It took him a long time to walk in.
He felt that the entire media outside the show was like crazy!
What are these people talking about when they get together? Each one of them looked like they had never seen the world before.
"Xiang, why are you going?"
Walking into the show, he bumped into his friend who suddenly walked out. After asking curiously, Little John looked inside casually. He exclaimed: "Oh my god, Xiang, why are Liu and Laura sitting together with Lafayette and the old witch!"
Xiang Yang turned back, said "Oh", and walked out holding his friend's shoulders. At the same time, he asked: "Have you brought any cigarettes?"
Little John nodded blankly. He was still confused. His wife was smiling and chatting with Lafayette, while Lafayette was still nodding with a smile, as if in agreement.
This picture immediately made his head dizzy.
“If Laura says something wrong, she will never be able to go on the Chanel and Fendi runways in her life.”
No! Why are Liu and Anna Wintour also chatting?
What the hell is this!
Wasn't she always afraid of that old woman? !
Why is she covering her mouth and laughing? Damn it! Don’t laugh at the teardrop makeup, okay?
Laura, you idiot! What are you and Lafayette laughing at? Could you please lower the corners of your lips?
Are those photographers from Vogue Legal? They took photos of my wife without my consent!
“Although I won’t wear them, I will give these stockings to Todd Thomas (Victoria’s Secret Creative Director), and he should get more inspiration from them.”
Carrying the gift bag from Gaultier's show, Anna Wintour said with a smile after the show.
“No, I will keep it for collection.” Lafayette standing next to her said: “This is the best gift I received this year. I like its fashion display very much. "The highlight of the show."
As the host of the show, Gaultier, who was also interviewed, just smiled slightly when asked, "Oh, you said those black stockings, they are Designed by Thomas Xiang, this is just his graduation work in fashion. I really like that he has such a breakthrough."
"Who is Thomas Xiang!"
Looking at it. French newspaper, Xun Ye frowned, but soon showed an expression of surprise.
Isn’t this young man taking photos with Gaultier, The Devil Wears Prada, and Lafayette the same designer I saw at the Chanel Haute Couture show that day?
How could he stand with them? Also appeared in the headlines of the media? !
Unlike Mr. Xun, the domestic media is focusing on another group photo.
"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door. The confused Mr. Xun took the newspaper and read it while coming to the door of his room. The moment he opened the door, the anxious agent Huang Ge hurriedly Said:
“Brother Xun, this is bad! Chanel’s endorsement may be ruined!”
As he spoke, he raised his phone, and a domestic media report was displayed in front of Mr. Xun.
And this photo is going viral in China
In the photo, from left to right, the group photo of Lafayette, The Devil Wears Prada, Liu Qianqian, and passerby (Laura) once again triggered a stir A discussion among domestic fashion-conscious people.
In the photo, Liu Qianqian, who is wearing a light skirt and slim figure, has a happy expression on her face. Although Lafayette and the Devil Wear are wearing sunglasses, they both look happy.
