Chapter 223: LVMH poaches? (Please subscribe!)
In sunny Milan, delicious food makes people ignore time.
Xiang Yang drove Liu Qianqian to a restaurant famous for its Italian risotto.
Because of the fashion week, there are not many empty seats here. Fortunately, Xiangyang made a reservation by phone in advance.
After a while, the two of them ordered what they wanted to eat, and the fragrant black truffle flavor on the exquisite dishes whetted their appetites. It can be seen that the taste here is very suitable for Liu Qianqian's taste.
After finishing her portion, Liu Qianqian raised her head and lightly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, forcing Xiang Yang to give up her dessert.
"Hey, why are you so nice to me."
After filling a large spoonful of Xiangyang's risotto, Liu Qianqian put it into her mouth and couldn't help but stroke the sagging hair on her temples. hair.
"If it's not enough, we can ask for something else."
Xiang Yang spread his hands to indicate that it was nothing at all. Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian immediately objected: "That won't work. After you taste it, I want to eat at this restaurant.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Hehe."
Liu Qianqian felt that she got a satisfactory answer.
As the delicacies on the table were eliminated one by one, the conversation between the two gradually extended to the fashion week and Liu Qianqian's next trip.
Without the blessing of the Cannes Film Festival, the premiere of "Midnight in Paris" was not surprisingly placed by Anna Wintour at the famous landmark of Los Angeles - the 'Huaxia' which opened in 1927 theater'.
In the past century, this theater and its partner the Egyptian Theater have witnessed the ups and downs of Hollywood.
Unlike leaving fingerprints on the Avenue of Stars, which starts from it, ‘Huaxia Theater’ is keen on leaving footprints and signatures.
Of all the marks, the most exaggerated is probably half of John Barrymore’s face.
Xiang Yang has never been to the 'Hua Xia Theater'. When talking about this, he was extremely serious and listened to Liu Qianqian's story. After all, this is a rare place where the other party can show off his knowledge. Xiang Yang will naturally not tease the other party. interest.
But not long after talking, Liu Qianqian realized that she had to wear an evening dress to attend the premiere, and Liu Qianqian naturally thought of the three pieces of clothing Xiangyang owed her.
In this regard, Xiang Yang could only express regret.
Each of those three pieces of clothing is much more difficult to make than Natalie Portman's Black Swan dress. He really can't spare the energy to make them now.
"What should we do?"
Liu Qianqian blinked after finishing speaking.
After wearing the clothes prepared by Xiang Yang once, Liu Qianqian really wanted to wear clothes sewn by Xiang Yang every time she attended an event.
"Don't worry, you'll find out later." Xiang Yang smiled.
In fact, if the premiere could be postponed for a few days, he would really like Liu Qianqian to wear the horse-faced dress designed by Le Maire in the spring and summer of 2010 to attend the premiere.
Le Maire’s horse-faced skirt does not have a circle of patterns in the middle (knee band), nor does it have a circle of patterns at the bottom (base band). Even the silk shirt it matches is just a white cardigan.
As an advocate of simple and low-key design, he did not even use the dark pattern embroidery of auspicious clouds that was often used in China on this type of clothing.
It only seems to be decent, elegant and graceful of an intellectual woman, without a trace of arrogance and magnificence.
Uh.
Xiang Yang was not surprised at all when he saw this design.
Because Le Maire’s overall design style has always been like this, tailoring is where he really works hard.
Xiang Yang likes the design of this suit very much. It is different from the overly fancy "Hanfu" of the future, but it also has a "Chinese" flavor that has gradually matured in it.
It’s just that Anna Wintour has her own plans.
Moreover, her plan really tricked everyone. Not only did they have to travel between the two fashion weeks, but they also had to fly to Los Angeles to attend the premiere.
But who made her the devil in the fashion world? Who made the Paris city government make the filming ceremony so exaggerated that the entire film team did not dare to do it a second time.
Liu Qianqian looked at Xiang Yang quietly. After hearing him say that the clothes were ready, she smiled and nodded.
Different from what Xiang Yang was thinking, facing Xiang Yang's gaze, Liu Qianqian's generous smile revealed a sense of satisfaction. When he was around, it seemed that all her troubles could be easily resolved.
As for the brand and style of the clothes, Liu Qianqian didn't seem to care very much. She felt that instead of competing for beauty at the premiere, it would be better to show off herself.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
"By the way, how is the movie going?"
Seeing that Liu Qianqian agreed with her idea, Xiang Yang asked proactively.
“The Social Network,”
Liu Qianqian raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and snickered, “You must have not read the script carefully.”
"Roughly flipped through it."
After a "hum", Liu Qianqian picked up the cup, took a sip from the straw and said: "I knew you must not have taken a good look. At that time, I was still thinking, how could you Would you recommend such a movie to me?"
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, come here and I'll tell you."
Walking to Yangli. She came closer, and the moment Xiang Yang stretched out his head in confusion, there was a crisp "click" sound, Liu Qianqian flicked Xiang Yang's forehead, and raised her head with a half-smile, "Do you understand?"
"What are you doing!" Xiang Yang retracted his head and frowned dissatisfied.
"I'm giving you some advice."
"What do you mean?"
"You still don't understand this! Why are you so stupid!" Liu Qianqian glared and explained. Said: "There are some scenes of 18-year-olds in it, don't you mind?"
"Ah!"
Like Paris, Milan is crowded during fashion week.
Whether it is Milan Cathedral, the square in front of the church, or the famous Brera Gallery, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or the Grand Palais of Milan, tourists, street photographers, and media The whole city was extremely congested. After the meal, the two of them wandered around the area like ordinary tourists, then returned to the car and arrived at the hotel.
As soon as she entered the door, Liu Qianqian opened her mouth in surprise.
Although the room was not a luxurious presidential suite, it was still a top-notch VIP room, but it was okay. What made her feel incredible was that the whole room was filled with Fendi boxes and clothes hangers. It gave her the feeling of coming to a specialty store.
"Originally, the other party said they arranged a driver for you, but I think I might be more suitable."
Hold Liu Qianqian from behind, sniffed Liu Qianqian's hair vigorously, and said shamelessly to Yang Yang.
"Then, Mr. Driver, are you willing to drive for me for the rest of your life?" After hearing Xiang Yang's words, Liu Qianqian no longer cared about the clothes, but turned her head and rubbed the tip of her nose against Xiang Yang's leaning nose. , their lips touched lightly.
"If you are willing."
Xiang Yang said this quietly enough, with Nephrite in his arms, and a breakup was better than a wedding, he felt the elegance exuding from every inch of the other person's skin. They all made him intoxicated.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you."
"What if your relatives don't agree?"
"Hey, did I say that my relative is...?"
< br>The next day I arrived at Fendi’s show as scheduled.
When it comes to the Italian brand Fendi, there are two things that have to be mentioned.
One is that it started with fur, and the other is Fendi Baguette handbags. Like other brands with Italian roots, Fendi, GUCCI and PRADA have a great influence in the field of 'trendy' fashion.
Fendi's logo is another double-letter logo that everyone in the fashion industry recognizes after the "double C" letters of Chanel in France and the "double G" letters in Italian Gucci - the "double F".
After joining the LVMH Group in 2001, Fendi's stores gradually grew to more than 150 stores by 2009, and in 2007, it held a sensual and stunning fashion show on the Great Wall of China. .
So when she attended its show, unlike Xiang Yang, who wore a slightly casual three-piece suit, Liu Qianqian was very particular about what she wore.
A cute dress with leather leggings and a small jacket. The raw edges on the sleeves are very cute.
"You two, please come this way."
Follow the usher into the show and take a look. Although the layout is small, it is stunning.
Holding Xiang Yang’s hand, Liu Qianqian saw the devil Anna Wintour at a glance.
No way, in any show, she always sits in the best and most conspicuous position. The people sitting with her are either the country's top actresses or celebrities.
Seeing that she was taking photos with others, Liu Qianqian had no intention of going there.
Xiang Yang didn't want to join in the fun next to the other party, but just as the two of them were preparing to take their seats with the usher in the second row, Anna Wintour called a staff member to invite them over.
"Today's clothes are very good, Karl will like it."
When the two people came in front of them, Anna stood up in front of others and talked and laughed with Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian. When taking a group photo with the signal of the on-site photographer, Anna whispered to Xiang Yang:
"Don't leave after the show, you have to attend the party."
"It's not appropriate."
Xiang Yang's face darkened, he swallowed his saliva and whispered back.
"What are you afraid of when I'm here? There are some people you can't hide from."
Xiang Yang had no choice but to nod, and after the group photo was taken, he quickly took Liu Qianqian to escape from the clutches of the female devil.
Seeing Xiang Yang being so cautious, Liu Qianqian asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Xiang Yang frowned and said nothing, but waited for the two of them to come to their seats and sit down. Finally, he leaned into Liu Qianqian's ear and whispered: "People from the LVMH Group may want to get to know me through Anna at night. Just don't talk at night."
"LVMH Group?" Liu Qianqian stared at Xiangyang.
Seeing the worry and confusion in his girlfriend's eyes, Xiang Yang pretended to smile casually and said: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you. It should be the old devil who wanted to get to know me after chatting with them. "
"Well, what do I need to do?" Liu Qianqian asked.
"Just keep smiling." Xiang Yang nodded.
In less than an hour, the show ended.
During the celebration party, among the people passing by, Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian were always by Anna Wintour's side.
From time to time, when people came to take photos, Anna also asked the two of them to accompany them. The people who came were congratulating on the upcoming release of "Midnight in Paris" and at the same time expressing their regret that they could not be there.
Until the party was about to end, a man in a suit and ties with silver hair came over with the old devil Karl Lagerfeld.
Seeing the other party, the female devil Anna cleared her throat immediately and introduced Xiang Yang with a smile on her face:
"Xiang, this gentleman is Bernard Al. No. ”
Liu Qianqian was relieved to see him because she didn't recognize him, but Xiang Yang was stunned for a few seconds.
Bernard Arnault
President and CEO of French luxury goods giant LVMH Group, the godfather of luxury goods in the world and Napoleon of the boutique industry. Under his leadership, LVMH Group has developed into one of the world's largest luxury goods groups
"Hello, young man, I heard Karl said you are very talented."
Bernard Ayer While Nuo looked at Xiang Yang, he extended a hand of friendship.
"Hello, sir." Xiangyang glanced at Lafayette subconsciously and stretched out his right hand.
"This is your female companion, she is very beautiful. I heard Karl told Anna that you care about your girlfriend very much, so I have prepared some small gifts for you, I hope you will like it."< br>
After Bernard Arnault finished speaking, he looked at Liu Qianqian.
"Thank you." Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.
"Xiang, although I'm not very familiar with you, I admire your design very much. It just so happens that our Loewe is considering changing to a design director." Bernard Arnault paused and turned his gaze again Looking at Karl, he continued:
"Karl thinks you are capable of the job. I wonder if you would like to jump out of Hermès and challenge yourself?"
When his words fell, Liu Qianqian and the devil were shocked, but then, the devil Anna He looked at his old friend with a puzzled expression, while Karl shook his head gently.
"Design director?"
Xiang Yang felt his head was buzzing.
As expected, people from the LVMH Group cannot be easily provoked!
He thought.
