"The place you chose is really good, it depends on whether their afternoon tea is authentic." As a fashion editor-in-chief, Liang Tian's concept of time is still very reliable.Less than 10 minutes after Li Wei was seated, Liang Tian appeared.

Unlike Huang Lei, editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "ELLE", who prefers OL attire, Liang Tian's style has always been high-end and luxurious.Even though it is no longer cold and cold, the collar and cuffs of Liang Tian's clothes are still trimmed with fur, and from Li Wei's point of view, it is absolutely real fur

.I don't know if it's the magazine style of "VOGUE". The editor-in-chief of each edition of this magazine loves fur.Although the editors and writers inside the magazine expressed their opposition to fur, their editor-in-chief continued to go his own way.

In addition to the fur style, Liang Tian's iconic short-cut hair and the super black and oversized sunglasses that covered most of her face also attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.

Tudor Rose is a tea restaurant based on the Tudor retro style, and the so-called Tudor retro style is "simple" and "country".Human beings love to toss themselves so much. When I live in the countryside, I always want to turn myself into a city person; but once I gain a firm foothold in the metropolis, I start to miss the country style again, representing myself and you These urbanites have different aesthetics.

After Liang Tian was seated, the waiter came over and asked what tea he wanted, Liang Tian said, "Earl."

After the waiter left, Liang Tian said: "I came to see you on business. In a few days, the selection of 'Mr. Fashion in Asia' will start again. I came here specially to invite you to represent Huaxia District, because I Very optimistic about you.

You should know that "VOGUE" has many versions around the world, right?For example, in our East Asia region, there are Chinese version, Tokyo version, Korean version and Asian version.The Asian edition is a magazine mainly in English, aiming to introduce Asian fashion to overseas readers.Although the editorial headquarters of the Asian edition is in Mingzhu City, her editor-in-chief has been Japanese for almost 30 years, right?As for the Chinese version, Tokyo version and Korean version, they use Chinese, Japanese and Korean to introduce international fashion and local fashion to their readers.To put it simply, the editor-in-chief of our four editions has another duty, which is to carry forward the fashion in Asia.

For example, we have the Asian Fashion Emerging Designer Competition, the Asian Jewelry Designer Rookie Competition, the Asian Supermodel Competition and the Asian Esquire Awards.The more winners from which country, the higher the ranking of this edition magazine in the VOGUE family, and the more resources it will get.

According to the internal ratings of the VOGUE family, the US version of "VOGUE" and the Paris version of "VOGUE" are currently S-level; the British version, Milan version and Tokyo version are A+; Grade A.

I should have mentioned to you that although there are many first-tier masters in our Chinese designers, there are not many elites above the second-tier in Chinese designers.But in Japan, there are many online design masters such as Yohji Yamamoto, Kenzo Takada, Rei Kawakubo, and Hideme Mori.In terms of female models, our side is ahead; but male models are completely suppressed by them.

This time I recommended you, but the Asian version recommended Li Qingxue, and together with Gu Nan who was automatically qualified, the three of you represented the Chinese male model to compete with Japan's Ueda Daisuke for the title of "Mr. Fashion in Asia". "

After Liang Tian talked on and on for more than ten minutes, the waiter came over pushing the dining cart.He first placed a pair of silver three-layer snack racks in front of the flowers on the tea table; then he put a glazed teapot in front of the snack racks, and then put two sets of teacups, teaspoons and saucers in front of Liang Tian and Li Wei; finally It was a small pot of milk and a small bottle of sugar, and the waiter put them on Li Wei's side.

"Hey, this shop is full." Liang Tian said with a smile, "The so-called British afternoon tea is divided into High Tea and Low Afternoon Tea, but the real afternoon tea is Low Afternoon Tea.

HighTea is an afternoon tea for the British civilian class. It is usually served at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the portion and sugar content of the snacks will be much higher.And HighTea is eaten at the dining table, sitting on a high-back chair.Because it is a 'high' back chair, it is called HighTea.

And LowAfternoonTea is the afternoon tea of ​​the upper class, which is usually served in the living room of the hostess. Everyone sits on the sofa, sips tea, chats, and the snacks are just a taste.And after LowAfternoonTea, the hostess will also arrange a garden party. "

"I always feel that you group of so-called upper-class people really live their lives too delicately. An afternoon tea has to be divided into Low Afternoon Tea and High Tea. To me, it's just a pot of English tea and a bunch of Western-style pastries." Li Wei shrugged and said, "And I don't like to drink tea with snacks, and I don't like adding sugar, milk, and spices. I usually drink oolong tea. You know that oolong tea will not be too cold, and it is helpful for losing weight and keeping in shape." .”

“You can try their sandwiches, I just had a piece of cucumber stuffed, it was good. You remember to save the cress with mayonnaise for me, the other chicken, smoked salmon with cream cheese and The ham with mustard, you are responsible for eating it. You know, we girls don’t eat meat as much as possible.” Liang Tian said holding a sandwich, “I just told you about ‘Mr. Fashion in Asia’ Contest, at that time we will hold a small catwalk show in a certain club in Tokyo. All the male models we invite will wear casual clothes, swimwear, underwear, formal clothes and private clothes according to the standard model competition. The first four sets of clothes are all made by us. It is provided uniformly, and there is no difference except for the different sizes; the private | clothes in the back will be matched by your models.

Don't worry, all the clothes are first-line brands; at the same time, your makeup and clothes are also completed by non-Asian top international makeup studios and styling studios.In addition to the chief editors, art directors, fashion editors, makeup editors, jewelry, watches and accessories editors of the global editions of the VOGUE family, designers, creative directors and marketing directors of many first-line brands will also come observe.

Do you know why Gu Nan's popularity is not as high as yours, but he has several big brand spokesperson contracts?That's because he's a regular at the 'Esquire Asia' contest. "

Li Wei listened quietly, then finished the sandwich silently.On the second tier of the snack rack are scones with cream and strawberry jam on the side.Li Wei picked up a scone, spread thick cream and strawberry jam on it, and took another bite.Well, it really is a wonderful product with tea.Especially Earl Grey tea, this kind of black tea mixed with bergamot glycerin immediately dissolves the sweetness in the mouth.After Li Wei took a bite himself, he also helped Liang Tian make a piece.

After Liang Tian took it, she continued to say while eating: "Although I don't want to admit it, the fashion center of Asia is indeed in Tokyo. Look at domestic fashion brands and trendy brands, most of them are from Japan. Or it is a brand jointly created by Japanese designers and Chinese designers. As a model, it is very important to maintain your taste. If your sloppy look was photographed by paparazzi that day, congratulations, you will not have any in at least three years Big names dare to seek you out; even brands that list you as their best friend will blacklist you overnight.

If possible, I suggest that you come to Tokyo every quarter. You should go shopping in Ginza, Harajuku, Shibuya, and Omotesando to absorb some fashion elements.See how people here match their clothes and build your own style.Look at Gu Nan and Li Qingxue's private|service shoots, they both have their own obvious style.Gu Nan's style is that of a mature man, while Li Qingxue's style is that of an urban handsome man, each has his own style.So big fashion brands also know who to turn to for advertising, you have to learn! "

Li Wei looked at the snack rack, and there were only desserts left on the top shelf.There are two macarons on top, the pink one should be strawberry or peach, and the green one should be kiwi or matcha.In addition to two macarons, there is also a Tiniès dark chocolate cup and raspberry fruit tart.

"Eat those desserts, the calories are too high." Liang Tian said lightly after taking a sip of tea.

After drinking afternoon tea with Liang Tian, ​​Li Wei returned to the company and ran on the treadmill angrily.In fact, Li Wei has always believed in low-sugar, low-salt, and low-oil, which is what Su Li calls "things that even pigs don't eat".Therefore, Li Wei only needs to do some strength training to keep the lines.But this afternoon tea has definitely exceeded the calorie limit, so Li Wei can only do aerobic exercise vigorously to burn off calories.

After Su Li saw Li Wei came back, she also went to the gym to find Li Wei. "What are you looking for?"

"The editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" in Asia is fighting each other, so they push us male models out as cannon fodder." Li Wei said while running, "We will be selected by them in a selection event called 'Mr. Fashion in Asia' Pick and choose, the one who wins will become the most popular male model in Asia, and then become famous. Next, you can not only go to the four major fashion weeks, but also become the image ambassador or even the spokesperson of the first-line big names. If you fail, Then become a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne!"

"You said that your fashion circle is the same as the Colosseum." Su Li was a little disbelieving, "Then did you promise her?"

"Do I dare not agree? People say that I am her only choice." Li Wei wiped off his sweat, "Besides, don't we also want to go to Tokyo? Just finish this job together, and go to Tokyo It’s good to show your face. She’s right, the fashion center of Asia is in Tokyo, let’s go and see what the fashion center’s tastes are like, what’s the fashion trend, come back and learn from it!”

Although Li Wei felt that Liang Tian's actions were a bit kidnapping himself, he had to admit that this was indeed a big pie on his head, and it was also the main item of Pizza Hut for the season.

Among the three Chinese models, Li Wei thought that he would have no problem killing Li Qingxue, but it was a bit difficult to deal with Gu Nan.Gu Nan has been developing in the European and American markets for a long time, and his personal studio is set up in Tokyo, so he is more familiar with the overseas editors and manufacturers.

In particular, the model industry is still a place where seniority is very serious. As long as someone goes to the catwalk one day earlier than you, you have to obediently call them senior sister or senior.The dressing room should be used by the seniors first; the seat should be given to the seniors first; during the dinner, if the seniors did not lift their chopsticks to raise the cup, you have to sit down obediently; The person sitting in the bad seat behind the driver must be the youngest.Therefore, it was very difficult for Li Wei to pick Gu Nan down and up.

Fortunately, the main purpose of Li Wei's trip to Tokyo this time is to endorse Undercover's new bags and to negotiate the agency rights of several trendy brands. As for "Mr. Asian Fashion", Li Wei is not particularly concerned.
