disappearing light years

Jiang Yuchen's studio is in the attic of a small house, and it takes four or ten minutes to drive there from his residence.It looks dilapidated from the outside, and the place is remote, probably because the designers like a quiet environment.Chi Mu already knew that this studio was shared by Jiang Yuchen and Olivia, so he guessed that the place should be quite large, but when Jiang Yuchen opened the door, he couldn't help saying, "It's really small."

The [-] to [-] square meter studio is just a large room, separated only by a few curtains in the middle, with tables, easels, ready-to-wear, and mannequins.All kinds of messy things are piled up densely. If you walk carelessly, you will definitely knock down a large area.

Jiang Yuchen put his arm on Chi Mu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "The place is quite small, but it looks spacious when no one is around, you should be able to imagine what it's like to have two designers and four or five assistants squeezed into this room. "

"Now I understand why you are in that state at the airport this morning. You work day and night in this kind of place, and you don't want to be sloppy." Chi Mu reached out and clattered on the table next to him, rubbing it The soot sticking to her fingertips, said: "Could it be that Olivia is so poor that she can't change to a better place?"

Jiang Yuchen shook his head and said, "You still don't know the origin of this studio. This is the first studio owned by the famous designer Pappy Crotia when he was young. It is of great significance."

Chi Mu opened his mouth, showing a surprised expression.

Jiang Yuchen continued: "For Pappy, this studio is the starting point of all brilliant achievements. He even named it the 'Guide's House'. After he became famous, this room Only the protégés he deems the most talented and promising will be able to use it."

Chi Mu asked curiously: "So that's it. Aren't you Puppy's son? He didn't give you this studio, but gave it to Olivia?"

Jiang Yuchen kept silent, looking at Chi Mu's eyes, hesitant to speak.

For a moment, Chi Mu wondered if he had asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

"My relationship with Puppy is not as good as you imagined. He is doing his duty as a father to me, and I am only doing my duty as a son to him. It is not impossible for you to understand it as the simplest working relationship. Besides, ...The current Olivia is indeed a famous designer." After being silent for a long time, Jiang Yuchen only ambiguously threw out an answer.

He walked forward with a blank expression, and opened the curtain in the middle of the room, revealing a large design desk next to the window.

"This is where I work, and that's what I'm going to show you." He pointed to a locked drawer below.

Chi Mu looked at the ordinary wooden table and smiled, "You are so brave, you say it's top secret, why don't you lock it in a safe?"

Jiang Yuchen took out the key, turned the lock, and took out a folder from the drawer.

"Outsiders can't enter this room, and the people around are all our own people. Of course I don't worry."

He turned on the desk lamp and unfolded the folder in front of Chi Mu.

Inside are two sets of black and white designs for men's dresses. Just looking at the drafts makes Chi Mu's eyes shine. Generally speaking, the design of men's dresses basically cannot escape the big frame of the suit style, and the colors should not be too exaggerated. Jiang Yuchen's The main colors of the two sets of clothes are very dazzling, and the lock elements of the Tang suit and the long-sleeved gown elements of the Hanfu are cleverly integrated into it. Coupled with the asymmetrical design, the whole looks quite visually impactful.

"This..." Chi Mu couldn't find a word to describe these two sets of clothes for a while.

Jiang Yuchen gave him a reassuring look: "Just tell me your first impression."

Chi Mu thought about the wording for a while, and then said: "Men's dress should be designed like this, will it be too dazzling, I don't think it's appropriate to wear this dress to formal occasions."

Jiang Yuchen nodded, "What I want is the word 'dazzling', because these two sets of clothes were not designed for ordinary occasions, but only for very solemn occasions."

"What occasion, offering sacrifices to heaven? I think this outfit looks like a mixture of a modern tuxedo and an ancient sacrificial robe." Chi Mu chuckled.

Jiang Yuchen tapped him lightly on the forehead, there was a feigned anger between his brows, "Can't you first carefully observe the common points of these two clothes, and then define it?"

Chi Mu finally stared at the blueprint and thought about it, and soon found that the two clothes were roughly the same at first glance, but there was a very obvious difference, that is, the two clothes were symmetrical to each other, one had a large left sleeve, One piece has a large right sleeve, and the golden pattern similar to leaves on the top also adopts a mirror-effect symmetry. The most amazing thing is the back hem of the top, which looks like a traditional tuxedo cut in half. A top There is only a slanted "half swallowtail" at the back, with a silver lotus pattern at the tip, which is quite conspicuous on the black fabric.

"Lian Lizhi, Bing Dilian?" After looking at it for a while, Chi Mu said half-jokingly, "Why do I suddenly have the feeling that this is a wedding dress?"

He was really joking.

However, Jiang Yuchen nodded his head cooperatively, opened the corners of his mouth, and uttered three words that were so light and easily overlooked, "The answer is correct."

Chi Mu blinked her eyes, as if she didn't hear clearly.

"This is the wedding dress." Jiang Yuchen added.

"But... this... this..." Chi Mu didn't know what expression to show for a moment.Jiang Yuchen's eyes were determined, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

The wedding dresses worn by two men, if this is true, Chi Mu can even foresee how such a design will be a sensation when it appears in Fashion Week.

"You, you really decided to do this?" It took Chi Mu a long time to close his open mouth, "This design is too... amazing, even if this is the United States, there are many people who can't accept it!"

Jiang Yuchen's tone contained a kind of self-confidence that could not be violated, "It is because it is amazing, and no designer has dared to try it, so I decided to try the world's first wedding dress for same-sex couples. After all, the fashion design industry has always pursued What’s new is to be different.”

"It's really unconventional, but you have really decided. In fact, with this design, even if it is divided into individual pieces, it is very eye-catching." Chi Mu tentatively said: "I don't disagree with you, but..."

Jiang Yuchen interrupted him: "Chi Mu, a real design will not be affected by any external influences, and knowledge of its function shows the designer's philosophy and talent, that's enough."

Chi Mu was speechless for a moment.

What else can he say?Jiang Yuchen has his arrogance and ideas, and he must have thought of the various effects after the release of such a same-sex dress.

"You really don't worry at all. In fact, you don't need to be so shocking. At first, you took the conservative route. Many designers did this when they were young." Chi Mu observed Jiang Yuchen's expression and expressed his thoughts Say it, "You're taking a real risk like this, and if you don't make a name for yourself, there's a good chance you'll lose your reputation."

Jiang Yuchen smiled, "If a designer doesn't have confidence in his own work, then he can't even hope to get other people's approval. Ever since I decided to throw it into the model's shell and switch to scissors, I never thought about shrinking Playing the safe card, a designer’s work should not be affected by any external conditions, otherwise he would not have the capital to call himself a qualified designer.”

His eyes stayed on Chi Mu's face, and there was a faint expectation flashing inside, "Although it's not my style to say this, I still want to say, I brought you here, because the first thing I want to hear is you sure."

Chi Mu's forehead was flushed with blood, and his face turned red.

"I... actually can't give you any good advice." Chi Mu lowered her head calmly, after thinking about it, she still put her arms around Jiang Yuchen's waist, giving him a reassuring hug.

"But since you have decided, I will definitely support you."

He felt Jiang Yuchen hug himself back with one hand, and a gentle breath brushed his forehead. Jiang Yuchen's soft kiss fell, brushed his cheek, and finally landed on his ear.

"Thank you."

The voice was very soft, but Chi Mu still heard it.

In the evening of the next day, the flight carrying Park Zhuzhu and his party arrived in New York, and went to pick up the plane at dusk. Editor, I brought a bunch of empty suitcases with me, waiting to fill them up with various clothes when I return home.

Because Twilight had made arrangements in advance, the fashion week organizer specially sent several cars to wait for you at the airport.Pu Zhuzhu squeezed into the first Lincoln without hesitation. As soon as she sat firmly, she took off the fur on her body and took out a small fan to blow it continuously.

The driver of the car and Chi Mu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had already gotten acquainted with each other, so they couldn't help asking in a low voice, "It's over 20 degrees Celsius in New York, why is your editor-in-chief dressed like it's winter?"

Chi Mu couldn't find any good reason, and it wasn't easy to embarrass Pu Zhuzhu, so she could only say guiltily, "Because...Because Beijing is very cold this season."

The driver snorted and nodded in understanding.

Chi Mu silently turned her face out of the window.

After arriving at the hotel, because of work, he had to go with the main force for the past few days, so Chi Mu didn't go back to Jiang Yuchen's place. The two of them only talked on the phone and went about their own business.New York Fashion Week is about to officially start in one day. Before that, it is not only the major designers who cannot relax.

Bind the entire seven-day itinerary into a book, and then report to Park Zhuzhu one by one, carefully counting the number of shows that everyone wants to watch and the reception and designer meeting that Park Zhuzhu will attend, so late that it is too late to think that these should have been done by Jin Yuanyuan Why did everything fall on him.

Busy until midnight, fell asleep for a while, and it was daylight. A group of people packed up and ran non-stop to Reant Park in Manhattan-the fashion week base camp where 63 fashion shows will be staged this time.

Sitting in the car, Pu Zhuzhu's eyes brightened. Even though he had been to Paris and Milan once, it was his first time in New York.

The 2010 New York Spring/Summer Fashion Week, which opened in September, although inevitably affected by the aftermath of the financial crisis, still brought together nearly a hundred world-renowned brands and fashion designers, including some first-class magazine media and elites from all walks of life.

Chi Mu took out the arranged itinerary and flipped through it again. In the first three days there were various receptions, and in the last three days there were major brands showing their faces. The only time I could really spare time was on the fourth night, when I was able to meet Jiang Yuchen again Head, we can only wait for that day.

He suddenly envied Olivia very much. He and Jiang Yuchen worked together. They had the best time and place, and the only difference was harmony.
