It's not easy to be a supermodel [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

"Harper's Bazaar", a famous fashion magazine, is published in [-] countries around the world and is one of the most influential fashion magazines. Its editor-in-chief, Glenda Bailey, is naturally an important figure in the fashion industry.

Marc Jacobs, nicknamed Xiao Ma in China, is a well-known fashion designer in the United States. Since 1997, he has been appointed as the art director of the luxury brand LOUISVUITTON, referred to as LV.

Heidi Klum, a German supermodel, the exclusive model and daughter of the famous underwear brand Victoria's Secret.

Leti thought it was a small competition, but he didn't expect that the judges would be so strong?

Even in her previous life, it was very difficult for her to meet big shots like Glenda Bailey and Marc Jacobs. She suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity.

The European and American fashion world, which was out of reach in her previous life, seemed to have opened a door to her.

Letty was quietly looking at the clothes designed by Alex, and he was carefully putting a transparent dust bag on it, as if it was his lover.

His "lover" is a tube top-style black mermaid skirt. The grosgrain fabric is stable and low-key. From the curved stitching at the waist of the skirt, you can see the producer's superb tailoring. The whole skirt is made of extremely The close-fitting tailoring tucks away the important parts, fully showing the feminine curves.

There are not too many decorations on the skirt, only the tube top and wavy black tulle are sewn on the skirt as a point, and the belt made of pearls adds a touch of brilliance, simple and elegant.

It has the elegance and simplicity of Givenchy's Audrey Hepburn style.

Letty did not leave the fashion industry after quitting the modeling circle, but changed to become an amateur designer. From her point of view, this is a pretty good work, but she doesn't know the level of other contestants, Will this dress be enough for Alex to win the championship?

When everything was ready, Alex said confidently to Letty: "Let's go!"

……

The competition venue was in an exhibition hall. A long T-shaped stretching platform was built on the open space. Rows of chairs were placed on both sides of the T platform. When the two arrived, many contestants were already preparing. Looking at the past, there were at least a hundred designers, models, make-up artists, hair stylists and other staff, and there was a lively atmosphere like a fashion week.

On the way in the car, Letty learned more about the competition from Alex. It turned out that it was a joint school competition, and the participants came from universities and colleges in various cities in Florida, but not only students You can participate, because there is only one entry for each college.

This also explains why there is such a strong lineup of judges for a competition among students. Those who can come here are all the best students from the design departments of various colleges. In other words, they are the future hope of the American fashion industry.

Of course, there is only one champion, and the prizes are very rich, including a prize of [-] US dollars, a special page in "Harper's Bazaar", and an opportunity to exhibit her fashion series at New York Fashion Week.

For a group of contestants, the latter is more significant than the former.

New York Fashion Week, that is one of the four major fashion weeks!A gathering place for fashion celebrities!

As soon as the two entered the exhibition hall, they were baptized by all kinds of eyes.

Everyone here is rival to each other, all the young designers are quietly looking at others, and there is no doubt that Letty is the most beautiful model among the many contestants here, Some people feel a little sense of crisis, while others show disdainful eyes.

Hmph, did you think bringing a vase would win the contest?The chest is still so big!

It must be clarified here that Letty's breasts are actually not that big, and a C cup can only be considered common among American girls, but for a model, it is quite plump.

Some Europeans and Americans have slender limbs, and the flesh seems to be piled up on the chest. Leticia is a good example. This is a puzzle. Where did the flesh come from?

Large breasts are not a good thing in the fashion industry. Generally, designers do not like to use models with large breasts, because it will destroy the shape of the clothes and make the clothes look inferior.

In their eyes, a perfect hanger should be flat-chested, and people who can usually wear clothes size 0 or 2 are thin, so in the entire fashion industry—referring to HighFashion (HF for short), big Some of the models are flat chested.

Letty is not used to it yet, because the two lumps of flesh have disrupted her sense of balance, and she may feel a little unnatural when she walks. After the competition, she must lose weight, at least one cup.

But what they said was quite reasonable. This was a fashion design competition, not America's Next Top Model. The focus was still on the clothes, and no points would be added for her good looks.

After registration, Alex came back with a number plate, NO.16, which means that Letty will be the No.16 model.

Even though the organizers did not provide models, they still provided makeup artists and hair stylists for the contestants. Alex took Letty to the styling area, called a makeup artist, and explained his requirements.

"Don't make up too much, don't draw eyeliner, use lighter shadows, her outline is already layered..."

The female makeup artist expressed her understanding, and she sat Letty down and began to apply makeup on her.

"Girl, you have a very dominant face," said the makeup artist as she applied foundation to Letty's face.

Letty responded with a smile.

However, in the next second, she said again: "But you must also pay attention to maintenance, your skin quality is a bit poor."

Letty: "..."

According to the original owner's lifestyle, poisonous, smoking and drinking, it is difficult to have good skin, right?

From the reflection in the mirror, Letty caught a glimpse of a man and a woman walking towards them not far away, Alex immediately showed a look of disgust, and whispered: "Oh my god, that's my deadly enemy, maybe this time it's time for another He came here to make sarcastic remarks."

Sure enough, as he expected, the bald man mocked as soon as he came: "Oh Alex, I thought you had given up on your dream of being a designer. It's a pleasant surprise to see you here."

Before Alex could answer, the bald man glanced at Letty and smiled again: "The model you are looking for is really unique, is this the champion of Miss Miami Beach?"

This sentence sounded like a compliment, but it was actually an insinuation that she was very LOW. Seeing the female model next to the bald man, she immediately smiled complacently, holding her A cup proudly.

She's a real HF model, the kind who can walk.In contrast, Letty looks like a cute girl that Alex caught casually when he saw a beautiful girl on the street, a vase with only one face.

He lowered his voice: "And—Latinos? What the hell are you thinking? The theme this time is evening dresses."

Alex rolled his eyes, of course he knew!

Since the theme is evening dresses, most of the models brought by the contestants are white, so white that they can reflect the light. They think that the temperament of white girls is more suitable for evening dresses.

After all, high-end fashion is for the rich, and the target market is the middle class and upper class, and this group is mostly composed of white people, so designers tend to use white models.

Although some Latinos are white, Letty's skin color is obviously out of place. As the only black skin, she is an outlier, so they will attract attention as soon as they come in.

Alex couldn't swallow this breath, and countered: "Pay attention to your words! Then you will know that my decision is correct."

The bald man and the female model laughed as if they heard a big joke.

"I changed the number with someone else, and now it is NO.15, right in front of you." The bald man said, his eyes overflowing with pride, "I hope you won't be thrown away too much by me."

The bald man led the female model away gracefully, but Alex was going crazy with anger.

Letty, who was teased by Yipin, was not angry, and asked calmly: "Who is he? Why is he so hostile to you?"

The young designer gritted his teeth and said: "He is my high school classmate, he is very rich, it just so happens that our ambition is to be a fashion designer, and then we went to different design schools, maybe because I can't see me as a poor man. Sit on an equal footing with him, boy, always aiming at me."

This is the fashion industry, a small circle with a very high threshold, HighFashion has its own arrogance, if you have money, you can buy the entire Chelsea Football Club like Russian rich man Roman Abramovich, and then brandish you to the world banknotes, buy a bunch of stars, and become a Premier League giant.

On the contrary, in the fashion industry, it is absolutely impossible to pile up a luxury brand like Chanel or Versace in a short period of time with only money.

Although being rich can't do whatever you want in the fashion industry, it can bring certain conveniences. Like the bald man, he has enough funds to hire a real HF model, and Alex can only ask his friend's daughter for help.

The next step is to style the hair. The makeup artist left and a hair stylist came over.

"You have beautiful black hair." The hair stylist ran her hair with a comb, and praised her first like the previous makeup artist.

Letty still responded with a smile, yes, she has pure black curly long hair with a tropical style, which is quite rare among Europeans.

"However, the quality of the hair is a bit poor. You need to take good care of it. Hair is a woman's second face."

Letty: "..."

……

Because Letty's natural curls are a bit severe, it took an hour to straighten all the hair, after which it was much easier to comb all the hair back and coil it up.

Makeup and styling can be done within three hours, which is already very efficient. Her longest styling time was six hours. At that time, she was almost falling asleep while sitting on a chair, and her buttocks were sore the next day. sky.

Makeup and hair done, it's time to change clothes.

The so-called dressing area is actually just an area surrounded by two pieces of cloth, there is no gap inside, and people are constantly coming in and out, so there is no privacy at all.

Letty has long been used to it, because a real fashion show does not deliberately build a dressing room, and often it is just surrounded by curtains or hangers, and sometimes it is necessary to change another set of clothes immediately after coming off the catwalk Going to the catwalk, I don't have much time at all, I take off while walking.

If you don't mind being seen by others, don't be a model.

She knew Alex was gay, so she didn't shy away from taking off her clothes in front of him.

With Alex's help, Letty changed into the mermaid skirt, and he looked at the brunette's body with admiration, "God, you look exactly as I imagined."

That's why he took the risk on Letty, who was very tall, five feet ten inches tall and 110 pounds, which, although she was a little fat for a model, looked slim.

What's even more rare is that her proportions are excellent, and her wrists are more than a little over the pelvic line, because her legs are too long, and the high-waist design of the fishtail skirt elongates the proportions of her legs. At first glance, her chest is full of legs.

Alex still couldn't help looking at her a few more times, he had never seen such a beautiful honey-colored skin.

He has seen many girls with excessive tanning, making themselves look like African-Americans, but putting the cart before the horse, looking unnatural and artificial.

But although her complexion is dark, it is a little brownish red, which looks like a vibrant honey color. It is not dull at all, but exudes healthy beauty.

"In short, remember to remember not to fall on the runway! If you fall, God will not forgive you!" On the way here, he kept repeating and repeating.

Alex didn't expect Letty to walk. They had a rehearsal once, and the girl's "step" was really awkward, so he simply asked Letty to give up walking, and she could walk as usual, and she didn't have to. Extravagant hope that he can walk better than the bald male female model, he only has one request, that is, don't fall.

Mermaid skirts are good-looking, but they are very inconvenient to walk on, making the wearer feel as if their legs are bound. In addition, wearing high-heeled shoes that are more than ten centimeters, it is easy to step on them if they are not careful. skirt.

Therefore, this dress is a big challenge for Letty, an inexperienced newcomer, and Alex just prays to God that everything goes well.

If Letty did fall, his dream would be shattered with it.

"I'll go out and see how much time is left." Leaving this sentence behind, Alex walked out of the dressing area.

Letty was trying to take a step, and Alex ran in panting again, his eyes sparkling.

"Leticia! Big news!" screamed the young designer. "It's Tony Stark! Tony Stark is outside! Right in the front row!"

Letty: "???"

She stayed for a few seconds before searching for relevant information in her mind.

——Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries, the richest man in New York, the youngest billionaire, a philanthropist, a genius inventor, a selfish arms dealer, a playboy who changes a cover girl every month...

Even in his previous life, Lin Haiyi, who was far away in the east, had heard of this name, because this person was so famous, but when he was mentioned, everyone showed hostile eyes. Who called Tony Stark is a genius. The arms produced by Ke Industry are too good, and he is still an American.

...isn't this a fashion design competition?Why is he, an arms dealer, here to join in the fun? ?

"It is said that he and Marc Jacobs are good friends, probably because of Marc Jacobs." Alex was already flushed with excitement, speaking so fast that Letty had difficulty hearing, "It's not The important point, the important point is just now, Tony Stark said that he will subsidize the champion's prize of [-] US dollars!"

He grabbed Letty's hand, drooling: "Letty, we must win this time!"

Letty: "..."

He added: "If we win, we can share the prize money!"

Letty shuddered and was full of energy.

- Must win! ! ! ! ! ! !
