Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 135 METGALA (seeking determination)

In the hot summer, one day in May, Liu Qianqian bid farewell to the crew and headed to the United States.

Together with Laura, we went to New York to attend METGALA, which is recognized as the most prestigious and gorgeous fashion event in the world. The people invited to participate are some of the elites in the fashion, entertainment, and art circles. Participants will be based on themes to choose or customize your own clothing and accessories.

This banquet was held in 1948 to raise funds for the Costume Institute and encourage local celebrities to become interested in fashion. Since it was hosted by Anna Wintour, who was the editor-in-chief of Vogue at the time, in 1995, it has become more and more popular.

Each year she carefully selects a theme.

Very noteworthy is 'Christianity and Art' in 1996, which showcased the influence of Christianity in Western art and fashion.

Then there was 'Athens and Rome' in 2001, and last year's 'Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy'.

This year's theme, however, has a bit of a competition for beauty.

'TheModelasMuse:EmbodiingFashion' - Models like muses: Embodying Fashion.

Anyone who is familiar with Greek mythology knows that Muses are the general name for the ancient literary goddesses in charge of art and science in mythology. They represent the myths and legends represented through traditional music and dance, as well as the poetry handed down from the times.They were originally narcissus that guarded the springs of Mount Helicon. They often appeared at gatherings of gods and heroes, singing and dancing, showing off their charm...

"Liu, the clothes are very beautiful. And Laura, I can see that the little guy Xiang put a lot of thought into preparing dresses for you two."

After walking into the hotel, Anna Wintour, who didn't have much time to spare, came to take a look at Liu Xixi and Laura's makeup.

She is willing to give this face.

After all, people were doing things for her far away in Paris.

As a host in New York, she would not be so stingy that she would not spare any time to give some advice to Liu Qianqian...and Laura.

Seeing the exquisite patterns on the dark pink skirt and Liu Qianqian's fair skin, after praising her, she smiled in front of the two smiling young people and said:

"Be confident, you will be fairies tomorrow. Laura, let the stylist braid your hair, starting from the left hair to the right side and braiding to the ear. This will increase the girlishness, and it will match your hair. The color of this skirt will be eye-catching.”

"As for you..." Anna Wintour looked at Liu Qianqian. Her original intention was to ask her to braid her hair and make a 'princess hairstyle' like Laura, and then the two of them were wearing two skirts, one on the left and the other on the right. She responded, but after taking a closer look, she denied her inner thoughts. Liu Qianqian's shiny black hair was not suitable.

"You just need to take care of your hair a little. Your body is more suitable for curly hair. Xiang's muse."

"Okay, we'll go there later." Liu Qianxi responded repeatedly.

After seeing this 'devil' who always wears sunglasses on her face several times, she is no longer as reserved as she was at first.And her transformation undoubtedly caught Anna's attention.

She remembered that the last time she turned on the camera in Paris, Liu Qianqian was not so comfortable.

But she appreciates this change. How can a 'muse' be timid forever?

That's not the 'Muse', that's the maid serving the 'Muse'...

……

"Marion, I hope to see your performance tomorrow."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest on the plane."

On the set far away in Paris, Xiangyang and his gang had just sent away the crew's 'muse'. Marion, as one of the important actors in the crew of "Midnight in Paris", due to the role, after finishing the day's shooting, Marion You need to take Dior's special plane to New York to attend METGALA.

Also leaving at the same time was Colin, who took Marion's plane to go with him, and Bill, the producer + Anna's boyfriend, also rushed there.

As for the remaining actors, they were not invited to participate.

METGALA invites 700-800 people every year. Not everyone who wants to attend can attend. In 09, the fashion circle's grand event did not tilt too much towards the traffic circle...

"Xiang, you guys chat. I still have things to do."

Damien patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and led the crew to start cleaning and checking. The other actors also dispersed one after another, preparing to return to the hotel to rest.

Slowly, only Emma Stone, who always smiled brightly, was left beside Xiangyang.

Because of Liu Qianqian's relationship, Xiang Yang and Emma Stone also became familiar with each other. In addition, the acquaintance between the two was considered good. They had a good impression of each other and became friends after going back and forth.

Very common kind.

"I'm so envious. It's an annual event, and I don't know who will be the brightest star on the red carpet tomorrow."

Seeing the figures disappearing one after another, Xiang Yang, who was standing at the door of the old-fashioned bar, heard Emma Stone sighing. He looked sideways and saw that the other party was looking up at the night stupidly, his eyes shining as he imagined that he would participate in METGALA. Scenes.

Because of the familiarity, Xiang Yang couldn't help but joke about the future Oscar-winning actress and Hollywood's leading actress:

"Then work hard."

"You have to work hard." Hearing this, Emma Stone grinned at Xiang Yang, and then said jokingly: "It's up to you. If Liu is not here, you can come to the set to watch the performance of Dior. Do you need me to report to you? Just a moment."

"Stop making trouble." Xiangyang shrugged. He just came to care after finishing some things.

The character Adriana played by Marion is a fictional character, and this fictional character is actually a representation of French romance in the 20s from a male perspective.

She not only makes the male protagonist obsessed with encounters, but also tells the beauty of life as if it were a dream.

She can accompany you on a stroll through the quiet streets of Paris at midnight and enjoy the romantic moonlight. She can also sit down and chat with you about poetry and poetry, and even discuss the philosophy of life together.

At the same time, she has charming wavy hair, melancholy eyes, elegant conversation and a charming voice...

If you want people to be as obsessed with this mysterious woman as the male protagonist is, you will naturally have to put a lot of thought into the outfits she wears every time she appears. Even an inconspicuous handbag is specially designed and carefully crafted.For such an important character in the camera, Xiang Yang also has selfish motives.

He specifically checked the information and found an Eveningdress made by a Parisian designer based on Chinese elements in the 1920s...

And he came today just for this light green, Chinese rose-themed evening dress.

"I finally understand why you want to play this role."

Inwardly sighing with emotion at Marion's superb performance in this replica costume, Xiang Yang expressed that he understood why this American girl, who seemed stupid, was so obsessed with this character when she first came on board.

"Who wouldn't want to have a chance to try out such a good role?" Hearing Xiang Yang's words, Emma Stone turned her head and looked at the costumes being arranged in the distance.

At first, the character was charming, but now the heroine's exquisite outfit is also seductive.

"Don't think about it, that dress doesn't suit you." Xiang Yang smiled.

Emma Stone grinned and retorted dissatisfied: "Why isn't it suitable?!"

"Light green doesn't match your complexion, but that retro pink-trimmed white suit matches you very well."

Emma Stone narrowed her eyes, "The one for walking under the moon?"

"Well, yes." Xiang Yang paused for a moment, composed himself, and looked at Emma, ​​as if he was sizing up her figure or thinking about something.

Emma Stone also noticed the change in Xiang Yang's eyes and frowned. She looked at Xiang Yang's deep eyes and realized that the other party had no dirty intentions in that regard. She grinned for a moment and said: "What, great designer?" Did any inspiration strike you?"

<divclass="contentadv">"That's not true." Xiangyang shook his head and said very plainly: "You are more suitable for clothes in more elegant colors, light tones, which can make you look lighter and more playful overall. Not stupid."

"Stupid?" Emma Stone was stunned at first, but she immediately understood what Xiang Yang meant. She glared at Xiang Yang with a pair of big bright eyes, and she grinned helplessly.

After a while, she said in a self-deprecating tone: "Xiang, not everyone is as lucky as your Liu.

You forget, the first time I auditioned, I was sent away with a sandwich. "

Hearing what she said, Xiangyang knew that the joke he made touched someone's heart. He smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't say that. You are different from Liu. You will be much more successful than her in the future."

"I'm not jealous of your Liu, she is indeed very lucky." Glancing at Xiang Yang, Emma Stone said with a smile: "Luck is also part of success. But Xiang...what method did you use to make Liu show confidence? Yes? Teach me."

"Uh..." Xiang Yang was stunned.

"Hahaha, you don't need to say anything." Emma Stone seemed to realize something, covered her mouth and laughed.

Xiang Yang had a painful expression on his face. He looked around to see if this guy's laughter had attracted anyone's attention. At the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Don't think blindly. I just told her some truth."

"Haha, okay, I believe you." Emma Stone glanced at Xiang Yang jokingly.

"I just told her to be more confident and let others know that there is a kind of beauty called Liu in the future." Xiang Yang curled his lips, "Then if you want to hear me praise you, I will definitely say that with your hard work and talent, I will definitely win an Oscar in the future, it’s the same.”

Emma Stone expressed disdain. She was not Liu Qianqian and would be deceived by Xiang Yang's few words.

Although, it sounded like she liked it.

"Hey, you still don't believe what I told you." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes at Emma Stone and said sincerely: "Emma, ​​I really think that you will shine in Hollywood in the future. I am very serious. If you don’t believe it, let’s make a bet.”

"Bet? Bet on what?"

"I bet if you really win an Oscar in the future, you'll thank me when you get on stage."

"Let's talk about it when I get it." Emma Stone replied speechlessly, and couldn't help but look at Xiang Yang's serious expression. She felt that Xiang Yang was not lying.

He seemed to firmly believe that I would become a good actor and realize my dream?

Damn it, I saw it right, this guy is very... very good at sultry.

Even though she knew that Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian were dating, Emma Stone felt that her heart was still moved by Xiang Yang's simple and plain words for a moment.

She suddenly felt that it would be nice to be...friends with someone like Xiangyang who believed in her so much.

"Well, if I get the nomination, how about you make me a dress?" Emma Stone suggested with a smile.

"Okay, no problem, isn't it just a dress? I'll satisfy you in minutes."

"This group of media is really..."

Fan Xiaopang threw the newspapers in his hands at his feet one by one. He was annoyed because he didn't get the invitation letter from METGALA. After resting at home for a few days, he turned on the computer early in the morning and started browsing.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, she becomes even more angry when you look at it.

Even if it's all about someone attending a fashion event in New York last night, it's still... a 'Hollywood actress'? ? ?

Still...still a copycat! ! !

After attending the Elie Saab show at Paris Fashion Week, she really didn't know what to say when she saw such sensational news reports.

Liu Qianqian's dress and the person beside her, she thought with her buttocks, knew it was designed by Xiang Yang.

I was at Elie Saab's show, but Elie Saab himself put his arm around his shoulders, chatted, and invited me to the headquarters.In addition, 'Lafayette' personally expressed his approval of her design a few days ago. How about going to copycat a dress for Liu Qianqian?

These media can’t even write black stuff. It’s really...

Although chiffon evening gowns are a frequently used fabric by the brand ElieSaab, there are many gowns made from this fabric.

The two pieces made by Xiang Yang clearly show his personal design style. They are elegant and at the same time show women's unique sense of power through subtle design details.

Just the slim shoulder straps...

Damn, why does this dress look so good! ! !

Fan Xiaopang, who became more and more fascinated as he watched, couldn't help but puff up his face and stared angrily at the screen.

Why can't this guy give me a chance to show himself like this?Is he targeting me on purpose?I saw that I wore their clothes at Elie Saab's last show, and I felt that Liu Qianqian would wear them better, so I designed a dress with the same fabric but a different style for Liu Qianqian to wear.

Why is this guy so annoying!

And this Liu Qianqian, why are you pouting so happily!

Are you happy that someone specially designed this kind of high-end dress for you? !This dress of yours is just an entry-level piece of haute couture, okay?There are no sequins, pearls, or diamonds, just the embroidery design looks better...

But the more he denied it in his heart, the more Fan Xiaopang had to admit that he was jealous.

Designers specialize in gowns…

Still a high-end women's clothing designer... Still recognized by Lafayette...

I can still hook up with Elie Saab...

Why am I not so lucky to have someone else design a dress specifically for me?

How can borrowed clothes compare to the ones that fit your figure and are of high quality at the same time...
