God's New Clothes

The next morning, after Zhou Mo arrived at the company for a long time, Tong Yan came to work with a yawn.

"Pour me a cup of coffee, Momo." Tong Yan lay motionless on the table as soon as he arrived, his eyes were dark and his face was like withered grass. He went to bed at an uncertain time last night, but it didn't delay him at all.

Boss Zhou Mo unhappily poured him a cup of coffee, put it on the table with a "bang", and asked angrily, "Do you think it's appropriate for you to do this?"

Tong Yan didn't even open his eyelids, and stared back at him: "What's inappropriate, we didn't steal or rob."

"You..." Zhou Mo was furious at him, "It's only been a few days? He's your boss!"

"What's wrong with the boss? He brought it up by himself. Hey, let me tell you, he's amazing..."

"I don't want to hear the details from you." Zhou Mo turned his face away, ashamed to listen.

Tong Yan's eyelids twitched, he picked up the coffee and took a sip: "We also met a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and that woman screamed really loudly."

"Do you still have some morals?"

"It's not that we deliberately want to hear about unscrupulous morals."

"Tong Yan, are you so unable to control yourself? You were not like this before!"

"Then I worry about it every day, what can I do...why wasn't I like this before?" Tong Yan finally felt something was wrong.

"Well, it's up to you, I won't care about you anymore."

Tong Yan was puzzled: "Why don't you leave me alone?" He put down his coffee, turned around and took out his hand-drawn manuscript from his bag and handed it to Zhou Mo, "By the way, I'll show you this."

Zhou Mo pushed the glasses, took them angrily, looked at them for a while and asked, "When did you get them back?"

"Last night, Xu Shi'an accompanied me to get it. Didn't we just keep talking about this?"

Zhou Mo glared at him while watching: "You said he is very powerful?"

"That's right, my access control is invalid. He got the company access card from somewhere, and even pried open the door of the studio."

"You said you met a pair of wild mandarin ducks."

"Two people came back suddenly and played office games. The girl sounded like the new girl from the marketing department, but the guy didn't hear it. We hid in the locker room and came out when they were done."

"You said you miss it every day."

"Of course I'm worried if I don't get these manuscripts back..." Speaking of this, Tong Yan suddenly woke up and roared, "Zhou Mo! What are you thinking!"

"I'm going to work!" Zhou Mo ran away.

"Don't run away, come back to me, and give me a different color scheme for this series!"

In the conference room, Chen Lei and all the designers are waiting for Tong Yan.He crossed his legs and kept pressing the signature pen with his right hand, looking very anxious.

After a while, Tong Yan and Zhou Mo walked in hurriedly.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I made some small changes." Tong Yan put the concept map on the table, "This style is the direction of our next season, it's too late to do the PPT, everyone can circulate it, I will briefly introduce it my thoughts."

Tong Yan didn't mention much about his previous style, it didn't make sense, for him now he was starting from scratch.

"Our design theme this time is 'One Man's War'. As the name suggests, it is a military uniform visually, and what we want to convey is the strong, independent and sexy side of women. Badges, metal buckles and plates are widely used in the decoration. The collocation of the mouth, in order not to look too blunt, can strengthen the design of the waist line of women. In terms of color, army green, black and khaki are the main colors. Reject camouflage, customers wear our clothes to go in and out of office buildings, right? It’s really necessary to carry guns and fight. The concept is like this, and the style needs to be played freely by everyone, because it is autumn and winter clothing, and it is best to combine rigidity and softness in the matching of clothing materials. Let’s take a look at what’s wrong.”

Ma Li and Ruan Wenna, who were close to him, picked up the sketches, and they all showed surprise expressions when they saw the picture. Although I don't know how Tong Yan came up with these concept drawings overnight, it doesn't affect these sketches at all. visual aesthetic and conceptual delivery.

They circulated the drawings to the people next to them one by one. Everyone whispered while watching, and some people praised in a low voice, but no one expressed their opinions positively.

Only the little assistant named "So Distressed" said bluntly: "Mr. Tong, this series is really cool. If it becomes a ready-made garment, it will definitely be very popular."

Tong Yan smiled, turned his head and asked Chen Lei: "Then brother Chen, what's your opinion?"

Chen Lei said angrily: "Military style? Except for classic styles such as windbreakers and coats, it is easy to design nondescript ones."

Zhou Mo pushed the glasses and said: "If you are interested, you can take a look at Elie Saab and Chloe's 2015 autumn and winter collections, or Burberry and Prada's 2016 autumn and winter collections. I will definitely have a lot of inspiration."

Tong Yan glanced at Zhou Mo. His partner is called a fashion encyclopedia. All kinds of show materials are stored in his mind in different categories. When you need to use Tong Yan, just say: hi, Momo, help me Look for Balabala, it's easier to use than siri.

After Zhou Mo made a point, he stopped talking. Tong Yan said, "Okay, if you don't have an opinion, act now. We still have hundreds of pictures to draw, fifty for each of us. I'm the same as Zhou Mo. Next week At this time, let's pick pictures. If you have any questions, ask Zhou Mo, let's end the meeting."

The two returned to their studio, Zhou Mo said: "I think you should treat everyone to a meal, which will help increase the goodwill of the masses."

"Those who should have a good impression will be able to read my works, and those who shouldn't be cultivated if you treat them to eat dragon liver and phoenix gall. The fashion industry has always been so cruel, only look at the works, not the character." Pause It added, "Except for racial discrimination."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Mo said: "That's what I said, I just asked you to pay attention."

Tong Yan nestled in the chair and said, "Didn't you mean that Chen Lei? I've already tolerated him quite a bit. If it hadn't been done before, I'd have let him go."

"Are you starting to miss the days when you were a boss lady? Now you have learned to shrink your neck and be a human being?"

"Go, go, let's do a puzzle and see who can draw faster?"

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

Tong Yan and Zhou Mo were drawing pictures in the studio, and Chen Lei went to Xu Shi'an's office to harass the boss.

Xu Shi'an was resting his chin on the surveillance screen, and when he saw Chen Lei coming in, he had no choice but to come out with the appearance of an aloof president.

Xu Shi'an asked, "What's the matter, Old Chen?"

"Alex," Chen Lei said, "Have you ever looked at Tong Yan's concept map?"

"Well, I saw it, what's the matter?"

"Don't you think this conflicts with our previous soft business attire? I worry that consumers will not accept such a big change in style."

When Xu Shi'an started this brand, he just didn't want to be suppressed by his father, so he used an excuse to escape from the old man's Wuzhishan.Whether the clothes sold well or not, he didn't care at all.

The previous designer was introduced by a friend. The design style is relatively stable, not particularly visually exaggerated. The details are very thoughtful, but the sales are really mediocre.

He brought Tong Yan here, except for his little thoughtfulness, he somewhat meant to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't expect Tong Yan to have any magic tricks to bring his brand back to life.But since reading so many manuscripts of Tong Yan yesterday and hearing so many thoughts from him, he suddenly felt that he probably found a treasure!Even for the first time, he came up with the idea of ​​making this brand well, otherwise he would be sorry for Tong Yan's unconstrained design.

A movie, a painting, a trip, a novel... can all be a source of inspiration for Tong Yan, and the drawings in his pen are very suitable for the aesthetics of modern people. You can see personality and rebellion in his works , but this rebellious spirit is tied by a string like a kite, and it will not fly too far.

Xu Shi'an had a premonition from the businessman that these clothes would be loved by consumers after they went on the market. He couldn't wait to see the finished product, so he couldn't hear Chen Lei rapping in front of him.

"There are no certain rules for design. We are not an old brand with a history of hundreds of years. There are no elements or styles that can frame our creativity. In the exploration stage, there is nothing wrong with trying more."

"But..." Chen Lei wanted to continue, but Xu Shi'an interrupted him, "Don't worry, there are still [-] styles to be released this season, and we don't have much time. Old Chen, you have worked hard these days. Let’s celebrate when we’re out.”

Chen Lei was sent away again, Xu Shi'an returned to the monitoring screen, looked left and right, always felt that something was missing.

He remembered that he went to the original studio with Tong Yan last night. There was a bouquet of flowers on his desk. Although it had already dried, it was obvious that Tong Yan liked it.

Xu Shi'an immediately called Tina in, and ordered: "Order a bouquet of flowers for the designer's studio, and change them once a week. You are not allowed to repeat the same. This is up to you."

Tina asked stupidly: "Which designer's studio is it for?" They have two studios on the third floor.

Xu Shi'an stared at Tina for a while, seeing that Tina's body was cool, and he didn't know where he had offended the boss. Unexpectedly, Xu Shi'an said, "Order a bunch for every designer."

Tina didn't expect the boss to be so generous, and quickly ran out to order flowers.

Xu Shi'an leaned on the back of his chair and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Forget about being stupid, I don't have any vision at all!"

The author says:

Xu Shi'an: This year's assistant is not good~ Tong Yan: Where did this flower come from, oh, everyone has it~~~
