Chapter 657 Failed to deceive
“…I can’t do it.”
An understatement, but it shows Eddie’s pride and dignity.
This talented designer who is proud of his talents quietly hides his sharp edges and corners. He seems to be weak and introverted, but in fact he is strong and tenacious.
Anson...sighed lightly.
For a moment, Anson truly believed that he could convince Eddie, but he didn't expect that after going round and round, he still failed.
"Eddie, I'm very disappointed." Anson looked at Eddie with a sad face.
Eddie lowered his head and coughed cautiously, avoiding Anson's sight stiffly, "Anson, we have a conflict of interest. You always represent yourself, and I must safeguard Dio's interests. If we cooperate... ”
It’s not fair to Anson, and it’s not fair to Dior either.
But Anson did not let Eddie continue. He raised his hand to stop his friend, "I know that from the beginning, this is something that is difficult to force others to do."
"So, am I on Dior's blacklist now?"
Eddie couldn't help but raise his head and look at Anson, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "How is it possible? If I prepare you When the news of the contract termination comes back, the marketing department may rush to Los Angeles from Paris overnight to interview you in person.”
Anson exhaled exaggeratedly.
It doesn’t even require movement, it just naturally reveals a sense of banter.
Eddie's smile became more obvious, "Although I can't take this job, I can introduce you to a candidate who is more suitable than me."
Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "You should know that I am very picky and strict, right?"
Eddie immediately caught the joke in Anson's words and chuckled, "It's okay, I'm responsible. Introduction, but you don’t necessarily have to hire him. In other words, you can give him a trial period. If you are not satisfied, you can fire him at any time. Don’t worry about me.”
Anson sighed softly. "Eddie, you really, really, really don't want to take this job."
Eddie was stunned, showing a little worry and panic, "Anson, the thing is not..."
After a moment's delay, Eddie saw the mischievous smile on the corner of Anson's mouth. Then he realized what was going on. He looked at Anson helplessly, but in the end he couldn't hold it back. The smile still crept onto the corner of his mouth.
"Honestly, can you wear Dior to the Golden Globes and Oscars?"
Anson, "No problem."
It was too simple and neat, and Eddie was stunned. I thought Anson would joke or even decline.
After all, Anson is very popular now, not only because of "Spider-Man", but also in the fashion field. Once it is known that Anson and Dior have not renewed their contract, other brands will definitely be like wolves and tigers. People are flocking to her, hoping to become Anson’s styling sponsor for the year-end awards ceremony.
Whether it is exposure or discussion, everything is guaranteed.
As for Anson, if he is willing, he can use this matter as a bargaining chip to maximize his own interests.
However, Anson did not.
Anson shrugged lightly, "I'm sorry, I can't renew my contract with you."
Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't know.
Judging from the details inside and outside the words, Dior should hope to renew the contract with Anson, and Eddie came to act as a lobbyist; but now, the cooperation has not been successful, and Eddie also knows Anson’s Follow-up plans mean that Dior will return to compete with other brands.
You can imagine how much pressure Eddie will face.
At least, Anson can extend an olive branch, send a signal, slightly ease the situation between Eddie and Dio, and repay Dio for the miracle he has created for Anson. Eddie was a little moved.
But Anson changed the topic, "Just in time, I also need to maintain the relationship with Dior. After all, I still expect Dior to continue to sponsor me in the future."
A small joke, half true and half false, lightens the atmosphere again.
...
Melvin-Bailey took a deep breath, pressed down on his racing heart, and used all his strength to control the urge to turn around and leave, but the complicated thoughts in his mind continued. He kept screaming and couldn't calm down. Until the last moment, he was still unsure -
Not sure if this was the right decision.
Melvin, a fashion buyer, works as a buyer for fourteen high-end fashion boutiques in London, Paris, and New York. His task is to constantly travel to major fashion weeks and communicate with designers. Connect with brands, keep an eye on fashion trends, and buy different designs to stock the shelves of fashion boutiques.
Simply put, he uses his fashion sense to create the image of the boutique.
This is a hard job, constantly traveling around the world. On the surface, it looks beautiful and fashionable, and laymen express their envy. But like Vanity Fair Hollywood, the scenery people see exists, but it is only at the top of the pyramid. There are thousands of ants struggling to climb the stairs down there. Their lives are no different from ordinary people. They are even more embarrassing, uglier and worse than the nine-to-five life.
The shiny robe was crawling with fleas.
In fact, Melvin’s dream is to be a designer and have his own product line, or even a fashion brand.
However, it is not easy.
To be more precise, it is very, very difficult.
Exactly a week ago, Eddie Slimane, Melvin's friend for more than a decade, introduced him to an opportunity to serve as Anson's personal stylist.
At first reaction, Melvin refused.
From a fashion buyer to a personal stylist, it seems like a step back; moreover, it completely cuts off my dream of becoming a designer. After all, fashion buyers can still cooperate with major brands. Big designers and fashion boutiques have constant access, but not personal stylists.
It took Melvin ten years to finally establish a network and reputation in the field of fashion buyers, and the number of partners finally rose to double digits. Now he is asked to give up his job and transform into a private stylist. Master, it sounds like a stupid loss-making transaction.
And, personal stylist, what kind of job is that? Why does it sound like an assistant has no rights, no private time, no autonomy? So far, there is no such professional job in the fashion field, and it sounds like it is a type of job where novices in the industry become experimental subjects.
So, is he really ready to give up his ten years of hard work and turn to a new and unknown field?
However, Eddie had different ideas.
“You treat Anson as your own work and create a brand based on your own ideas and creativity. Although it is not a garment or a real design, it is a concept and an idea that combines your understanding of fashion. Show it like a real work of art."
"This opportunity is once in a lifetime."
"And the object is Anson. You should know the influence of Anson. The spotlight is unimaginable.”
"What's more, I am only responsible for the introduction. Whether you can get this job depends on you, Anson. You are not someone who can be easily manipulated."
"You don't like this job, but In my opinion, this is probably the most important opportunity of your career.”
Melvin wasn’t sure.
After all the hesitation and hesitation, Melvin finally showed up and applied for the job.
However, standing at the door, Melvin was still pulling, his mind was in a mess, and he was confused.
Stopping and turning around, Melvin still wanted to leave.
