Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 131 Multiple lines and broken dials (seeking determination)

Hermès Fubao Avenue headquarters, roof garden.

Global creative director Pierre, CEO Patrick, and women's creative director Le Maire sat together with solemn expressions.The warm summer sun shines through the dense leaves of the green apple trees, turning into specks of light that shine on the marble triangular table.

On the table, several photos from different angles were placed on a document bag.

Two dresses, one off-white and one black.

"No wonder Lafayette praised Xiang Yang. If he hadn't personally admitted it, I might have ignored it just based on the photos and not looking carefully."

Pierre held the teacup, sipping the black tea in the cup, and returned to his seat, "Le Maire, you are more familiar with Xiang, how do you look at this matter?"

"I think it was Lafayette doing it to promote the movie." Le Maire, who had a beard on his face, pursed his lips and said, "Of course, these two clothes deserve his praise, and we deserve to be lucky that Xiang is still a member of our team, right? "

When this happened, he was slightly shocked.

Xiang Yang was quietly invited to design clothes for Galeries Lafayette? !

Ok...it's just a movie.

Fortunately, it is Galeries Lafayette and Chanel, not LV, a brand that is eyeing Hermès.

"Le Maire, you don't need to be nervous." Patrick said with a smile: "Xiang will always be a member of Hermès. Everyone knows this. We are asking for your opinion because we want to hear your opinion, or what you think about it. How does Xiang Yang see it?"

"What do I think of him?" Flamel frowned.

"Yes, including your views on the sports series, you have also seen that more and more designs have been completed now, from the original yoga, to the current hiking, and aerobic..." Pierre finished, His eyes turned to those photos again.

The layman watches the fun, and the layman watches the doorway.

The fact that these two pieces of clothing were recognized by Lafayette is enough to show that the exquisite designs of these two pieces of clothing need no further elaboration.

But this also shows from other aspects that Xiang Yang's talent has naturally attracted the attention of others.

This forced Pierre and Patrick, who had been waiting for good news, to take the initiative.

Good things are scarce everywhere.

The same is true for a young, talented designer who can cross boundaries and control different styles.

"Xiang Yang said that the main reason why he came to Hermès with me was to leave his name in Hermès." After thinking for a moment, Le Maire said.

"Every designer who comes to Hermès says this." Patrick smiled, not mocking or disdainful of such words, but telling his true opinion.

"Xiang... Xiang is different." Le Maire shook his head. "To be honest, as his director, it is difficult to admit that he is better than me in some aspects. But Xiang is indeed bolder than me and has a clear understanding of the market. His analytical skills are also better than mine. Moreover, he does not stick to his familiar style. Sometimes you force him to come up with something else, and he can come up with something else.

Just like...just like Gaultier sometimes puts forward very grandiose ideas, he can also realize them. "

"I've heard about this." Pierre smiled.

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing." Thinking of something, Le Maire suddenly said: "Xiang is obsessed with Chinese elements, and he wants to promote Chinese elements in the current market environment. I feel that he is more More Chinese designers are more concerned about how to combine Chinese elements with today’s mainstream tailoring.”

"Like the 20s?"

Pierre frowned.

As the global creative director of Hermès and the heir to the Hermès family, it goes without saying that he has his own artistic influence.

When he heard Le Maire speak, he immediately thought of the 20s. Among the fashion elements that were once popular in Paris, there were shadows of Chinese elements.And this popularity is not limited to the fashion level. During that period, or even earlier, there were many characters in oil paintings wearing original Chinese fashion.

"Well...it's not just limited to this." After thinking for a moment, Le Maire said: "Xiang Yang also said that with the end of the economic crisis and the market recovery, China will usher in a new round of growth. Maybe in the next 10 years, That piece of eastern land will become an important growth market for the luxury goods industry..."

"Have you ever said that?" Patrick's voice suddenly sounded a little urgent.

Flamel nodded.

This made him think deeply, because what Le Maire relayed was basically the same as the prediction results he saw from appraisal companies that paid a lot of money.

In the future, the Eastern market will be the main battlefield for luxury goods.

Who can lay out earlier, gain recognition from consumers there with a better entry point, and in a friendlier way...

It is because of these considerations that he has always advocated cooperation with Jiang Qiong'er's "Shang Xia".

At the same time, under his promotion, Hermès is also stepping up its layout and looking for new store addresses in some cities with potential.

But as the CEO of Hermès, he understands deeply that it is not easy to cultivate a new market.

The threshold for Hermès is not generally high.

It is really not easy to cultivate a loyal Hermès consumer customer... There are too many people who have failed in the journey of buying bags.From the CEO's perspective, he sometimes has to think about how to increase production capacity as much as possible in order to achieve a better balance with the 'distribution system'.

"I have said similar things to Xiang a lot." Le Maire took a deep breath. "He likes investing very much. Everyone around him knows it, but he doesn't easily recommend investment projects to others."

"I didn't expect that he would have such interests and hobbies. It seems that I know too little about my employees." Pierre sighed, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.

What Flamel said could be regarded as small talk in normal times.

but now……

"How to make the sports series perform better...how to make Xiang feel at ease staying at Hermès?"

After thinking about it, Pierre turned his attention to Flamel, maybe...

"Spend some money to set up a brand sub-line?" This idea popped up in his mind, and Pierre suddenly felt frightened. He quickly stopped the idea that suddenly lingered in his mind.

Because of the violent beating in his heart, he suddenly felt that doing so was a good solution.

But this step...isn't it too aggressive?

If the establishment of a sub-line affects the overall framework of the entire Hermès group, then...

<divclass="contentadv">"No, it should be said that by doing this, we can firmly hold this sub-line in the hands of Hermès." He suddenly changed his view in his heart.

All production links, marketing links, including logistics links, are all controlled by Hermès, and only the design rights are given to the brand's creative director.

At the same time, the design team will be expanded to enrich the product line based on the sports series and make it the miumiu of Hermès.Every brand has its own style, and so does every Hermès product line.

But designers will always have some good designs that cannot be produced and sold because they conflict with the main theme.

Rather than letting these good designs and designs with product value be taken out to benefit others, why not set up a sub-line so that all Hermès designers can have a place to express their design talents?

Thinking of this, Pierre raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.

"Pat, I remembered that I have a conference call to attend. Why don't you accompany me?"

Patrick nodded understandingly.

And Flamel, he is not stupid, he naturally knows that the two of them have very important things, and it is not convenient for him to be the women's clothing design director, so he smiled and said: "Then I just have something to do. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time." calls me."

"Okay, you go and do your work first. The recent work has been going well and I'm very satisfied." Pierre would not chill the other person's heart when it came to Flamel, whom he personally selected.

He smiled and joined Patrick, and after sending him to the stairs, he retracted the stiff smile on his face and said to his partner who looked at him curiously:

"Pat, I have a bold idea..."

……

Wearing a coat, standing not far behind director Damien, looking at Colin Firth lying on the steps of Saint-Etienne Church (not far from Notre Dame de Paris) looking slightly drunk, Facing the empty street, his eyes were blank like a child who had forgotten how to get home.

Liu Qianqian murmured: "Why are their acting skills so good?"

This was the most intuitive feeling she had after joining the group. The gap between herself and them was too obvious.

"Liu, what did you say?" Emmas was so focused on experiencing the superb acting skills the actor showed in person that he couldn't hear clearly.

"I'm impressed that your acting skills are so natural." Liu Qianxi put her chin on Emma Stone's shoulder, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered in her ear.

She felt that this friend who had just become her friend was much better than her in terms of acting skills.

In the past few days, she had noticed that her abilities were, at most, half of what the other person had now... or slightly more than half.

But no matter how much, if she was asked to audition for a role that was about to get married but disliked her fiancé, she felt that she could not be as natural as this friend.Although this friend Emma has been scolded a lot during the filming process these past two days.

Damien, who was sitting behind the monitor, kept his eyes fixed on the screen. When he saw the prop master ringing the wake-up bell, Colin sighed helplessly, looked at the time on his wrist, and then rubbed it with both hands. After rubbing his forehead and vividly expressing the melancholy of a down-and-out middle-aged, battered writer, he called out with satisfaction.

The on-site executive was making a decision. Damien picked up the intercom and said, "Okay, let's take a short break and let the prop team confirm the situation of the car."

Emma Stone, whose ears itched when she heard the call, turned her head and glanced at Liu Qianqian, "Liu, don't talk into my ears!"

"Ah...I..." Liu Qianqian reacted and then laughed "hehe".

As expected, she is a silly straight girl. After she smiled, she heard the other person say: "Liu, you are mainly confident and experienced. I think you can play your role well, really. You just need..."

Emma Stone paused, glanced at Colin who was checking her makeup, then pulled Liu Qianxi's shoulders and said in her ear: "You..."

"Ah, is this okay?"

"Okay, that's how I play with him. He's very nice."

"Then let me ask you about it when we take the photo tomorrow."

While the two were chatting, the intercom in Damien's hand made a sound: "Director, here comes the director."

"Okay, let him come directly here."

A few minutes later, Xiangyang followed the staff to the shooting scene.

He was not a visiting team, after all, he was also a member of the crew, so as soon as he arrived empty-handed, he looked at it curiously.

"Where's Little John, why didn't he come with you today?" Damien hugged Xiang Yang enthusiastically, then put his arm around Xiang Yang's shoulders and said, "Here, let me take a look at the footage just now."

"Okay."

Xiang Yang smiled, glanced at Liu Qianqian and Emma Stone who were whispering not far away, and said hello to Colin.

But with just one glance, he discovered the problem. Staring at the other person's empty wrist, he suddenly asked: "Where is your watch?"

"Watch? What watch?" Colin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react.

"A watch sent from Cuervo, Switzerland." Xiang Yang frowned and looked at Damien, "Damn it, you didn't notice this detail, didn't you? Don't you know the connection between this watch and Hemingway?"

"Ah, yes, where is the watch?!" Damien was also stunned. Colin was clearly looking at his watch in the camera, but why did the watch suddenly disappear?

The entire scene was occupied by our own people, could it have been stolen?

"Xiang...Xiang Yang," just as everyone was looking at each other in confusion, Liu Qianqian came over at some point. She pointed at the uneven road under Xiang Yang's feet with a look of horror, "The watch... the watch is on the sole of your foot. Down."

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads. Under a pair of white casual shoes, they happened to be hugging a brown watch strap.

Because it was too dark, you couldn't spot it without looking carefully.

And Liu Qianqian could find it precisely because when she walked over, she could see the light reflecting off the wet road due to the distance...

"Quickly, give me a hand..." Xiang Yang's face was full of black lines, and he quickly grabbed Damien's arm and was about to lift his feet. Then several people really heard a "click" and the crisp sound of the dial glass.

"Towards……"

"surface……"
