The aftermath of the European currency crisis is still ongoing, but Simon and Janet's itinerary has not been affected, even the Wall Street Journal article on September 26 was actually arranged in advance.

I've been to Helsinki, I've been to Gucci's catwalks, and the rest of the time is all about.

Autumn in Europe has so many beautiful scenery that you can find everywhere in fairytale towns surrounded by autumn leaves.

And so on until September 29, when Milan Fashion Week ended.

Simon and Janet made a point of returning from the Alps for the closing party of Fashion Week.

Because of Gucci's rapid rise, Milan Fashion Week, which was originally only a little more popular than London Fashion Week, has been quite lively in recent years.

Most obviously, there are significantly more supermodel celebrities attending Fashion Week than ever before.

And, as the Westeros system grows more and more influential in the fashion and entertainment industries, many people are actually coming for Simon.

"After New York Fashion Week, I'd like to go to Los Angeles and see, Simon, can you let me do the Victoria's Secret catwalk, even if it's just one. ”

The scene of the party at the closing ceremony.

Nadja Allman was holding a glass of red wine, her blue eyes were looking at Simon, and her body was slightly leaning towards the man, with a little pitiful begging in her expression.

The girl wore a black suspender dress tonight, with an average style, but it was difficult to hide her slender figure.

As a 'leg spirit' girl who was picked up by Simon, not only did she not get the endorsement of Victoria's Secret Angels like Yasmin Gary this time, but she didn't even get the catwalk qualification of ordinary Victoria's Secret Angels.

The main reason is that Naga Allman's appearance and figure are more suitable for high fashion, and she lacks the beautiful face and slender body that Victoria's Secret Angels need. On the other hand, the girl's original career focus has always been in Europe, and she is usually based in Paris. Although she also began to expand her business to North America after becoming famous, in fact, she still can't even speak English very well, and she just spoke to Simon and used German directly.

Therefore, at the original Victoria's Secret Angel selection, Naga Allman simply did not participate.

Of course, because he was praised by Simon, it is definitely not good not to participate in the fashion show run by the other party, so he also deliberately explained to Simon through the senior management of Elite.

Simon also felt that the girl was not a good fit for the Victoria's Secret show, so he didn't care.

Many people in the circle understand the reason, but it does not prevent some media from talking about this matter.

is also the 'waist essence' and 'leg essence' that Westeros personally held, the waist essence got the qualification of Victoria's Secret Angel spokesperson, but the leg essence did not even participate in the Victoria's Secret show.

So, did he fall out of favor, did he anger Westeros because of something, or was there something else going on?

After some supermodels in the fashion circle become famous by becoming the muse of a brand's designer, even if they fall out of favor, their fame will still exist.

However, if the current circle falls out of favor in front of Westeros, the problem is somewhat serious.

Hollywood is not without such precedents.

Like what.

Meg Ryan.

Westeros is really good at praising women, but if a woman is snubbed, the end is also bleak.

Nadja Allman's agency has hinted more than once through some media platforms that the girl did not participate in the Victoria's Secret show, it is simply that her image is not suitable, and the girl also has an endorsement cooperation with Melisandre's CK brand, so the matter has nothing to do with whether she was snubbed by Westeros.

However, some media always like to watch the excitement and not think it is a big deal.

Moreover, the pool of the fashion industry is not big after all, if you can suppress a newcomer with supermodel potential, whether it is a well-known model or an agency with a competitive relationship, they don't mind pushing it.

So, the explanation is a cover-up.

The cooperation with CK, it cannot be canceled because of the agreement, and whether there will be cooperation in the follow-up is not necessarily.

Conclusion: It must still be left out in the cold!

Sophia actually talked to Simon about these things when she gossiped, and Simon naturally didn't take it to heart.

At this time, looking at Nadja Allman's pitiful appearance, I realized that this incident seemed to have a great impact on the girl.

After thinking about it, Simon still shook his head and said, "But, Nadya, the main fitting and rehearsal was already over last month, and you insert it now, at least one theme needs to be rearranged." ”

Naga Allman saw that Simon's tone was not too resolute, and immediately said: "Simon, I have contacted Mr. Casablanca, as long as you agree, Elite can replace one of his own models and replace him." ”

This time, the Victoria's Secret Angel team has a total of 40 people, many of whom are from Elite, Ford and other famous modeling agencies, and it seems that it is not a big problem to replace one of them, which is not so famous, and is topped by Naga Allman.

Now that the girl has already planned and the Elite cooperates, Simon also nodded.

As for who was replaced, Simon didn't care too much.

However, he still advised: "Arrange this matter, and no messy news is allowed." Also, since you missed rehearsals in August, stay in Los Angeles after New York Fashion Week to prepare for it. ”

Nadja Allman's pitiful embarrassment just now was swept away, and with a little excitement in her expression, she nodded, "I know." ”

Simon looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Women are indeed fickle.

Noticing Simon's expression, Naga Allman quickly restrained a little and said, "Simon, you're going back to North America next, aren't you?"

Simon didn't know why: "yes." ”

"So," the girl looked at with some anticipation, "can you let me take a ride?"

Simon was stunned, and a smile quickly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Milan International Airport." ”

Seeing that the girl was about to be happy again, Simon added with a smile: "However, there will be a lot of people with us this time." ”

In recent days, not only Nadja Allman, but also many people have asked if they can fly on Simon's Boeing 767 when they return to North America.

From the original Madonna, Cindy Crawford to the current Naga Allman, Simon initially couldn't resist Queen McT's little entanglement and agreed, Madonna just came to support the Gucci show, and it is definitely not too much to ask for a pick-up.

Since there was a beginning, and others mentioned it, Simon simply agreed, and then simply took the initiative to invite some people to join him.

It certainly won't hurt to send this kind of favor.

As a mid-size passenger aircraft with a standard passenger capacity of 200 passengers, even if it is converted into a private jet, it is easy to carry dozens of people together.

In addition to the Simons' own entourage, more than two dozen other men and women will eventually return to North America together, and Janet simply plans an air party for it.

After taking care of her own business, Nadja Allman noticed that Rolling Stone frontman Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall and his wife walked over together and politely greeted each other, so she took the initiative to flash people.

As one of the famous models of this era and the wife of Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall certainly does not miss several major fashion weeks.

Simon greeted the two and casually chatted with Mick Jagger about things like movies and music.

Jerry Hall, who wore a silver dress today and had a much stronger temperament than Nadja, who had just left, just stood next to him, occasionally meeting the two men with a few words.

However, when the woman inadvertently looks at Simon, her expression will inadvertently show a slightly ridiculous smile.

Seems to remind Simon of something.

Simon certainly won't forget the weekend he spent in Hawaii with Jerry Hall and another famous model, Ella McPherson.

Of course, in front of the woman's husband, Simon does not have any weakness.

The couple in front of them are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Although he is married to Jerry Hall and has children, Mick Jagger's affair will appear in the gossip media twice in three days.

Simon, of course, is not in a position to point out anything to Mick Jagger, and the only thing he does better is that he doesn't let the media get any grip on it.

After chatting for a few words, Jerry Hall, who had been talking a lot, said: "Simon, I heard Madonna say at the party the night before yesterday that you can take your plane back to North America, can you take me with you?"

"Of course," Simon nodded, realizing something again, looked at Mick Jagger, and asked, "Aren't Mick going to North America together?"

Mick Jagger shook his head and said, "I have some other schedules on my side. ”

"It's a pity, because there are more people together this time, Jenny also specially prepared an air party, if you can be together, it will definitely be more lively. ”

"It's a pity, I can only look forward to next time. ”

After the couple left, Simon socialized a few more times, and seeing that the time was about the same, he found Janet in the crowd and planned to leave.

Sofia also returned to her mountain house on the shores of Lake Como on the northern outskirts of Milan.

When she got home, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Janet, who was very maintenance-oriented, ran to take a shower, intending to rest as soon as possible, but Sophia was not sleepy, and talked to Simon about an idea that had just arisen at the party.

Melisandre now has a total of four brands, Gucci is the main revenue leader, accounting for more than 70% of Melisandre's revenue, Van Cleef & Arpels and CK, are also developing very rapidly. The last Château Latour, which was entirely Simon's personal collection and did not pursue commercial interests. However, because of the past experience, Sophia is also comfortable in taking care of the Château Latour, and now the winery, the best red wine is basically kept for itself, but the annual output, through Sophia's operation, also produces a good income steadily.

On the whole, except for CK, which has just been acquired, the other three brands continue to provide more or less profits for Melisandre.

For most companies, when they have enough capital, they will of course choose to expand further.

Compared with LVMH, which has the two pillars of Dior and LV, Melisandre does have a big gap to catch up.

However, Sophia has not yet found a suitable acquisition brand, and in the luxury industry, it is even more difficult to create a brand from scratch, so the idea of developing other businesses has arisen.

Inspired by her dealings with the media over the past few years while running Melisandre, Sophia recently came up with the idea of setting up a dedicated fashion TV station.

This will increase Melisandre's voice in the fashion media.

The print media landscape of the fashion industry has long been set, and it is not easy to get involved.

There are also specialized fashion TV stations, but they are not very influential, and they are usually just channels that will be skipped casually. For the time being, no one in the TV industry thinks that a TV station specializing in fashion can make it too large-scale.

After all, fashion is a little far away from ordinary people after all.

In Simon's memory, the most well-known fashion channel should be Fashion TV, which is based in France.

However, after listening to Sophia say what he thinks, Simon casually turns on the TV in the living room and looks for a moment, but there is no Fashion TV.

Let the woman change a few fashion type channels for herself, Sophia has broadcast several channels in a row, none of which are Fashion TV.

After carefully combing through his memory, Simon remembered that the later famous Fashion TV should have been officially established in 1997, and it really hasn't appeared yet.

For professional TV stations, Simon does not have the prejudice that the traditional TV industry habitually feels may not be able to do.

When Ted Turner founded CNN, the industry thought it was impossible for a dedicated news channel to make a difference, and now everyone apparently doesn't think that way anymore.

The same is certainly true for fashion channels.

Fashion TV in memory, although based in Paris, France, is a typical global television station, and the coverage is not much worse than those well-known cable channels.

This fact also proves the viability of a professional fashion channel.

Since Fashion TV was founded in 1997, it can develop into a global fashion media, and a fashion TV station can be established from scratch five years in advance, as long as it is operated properly, it obviously has the same potential.

The current Westeros system, in terms of resources in all aspects, also has the resources and capital strength to run a TV station from scratch.

"That's a good idea, so I'll ask Bob to find some suitable people and come up with a plan first," Simon finished speaking, focusing on Sophia's expression and said with a smile: "Do you think there is much potential for this TV station to be developed if it is just to set up a fashion TV station that is attached to Melisandre and is just to promote Melisandre's brand?"

Sophia originally just wanted to set up a fashion TV channel attached to Melisandre, and when she heard Simon say this, she also understood that this idea was directly taken away by the little man in front of her.

If you think about it, if you are only attached to the Mélisandre banner, it is indeed difficult to develop much.

If Daenerys Entertainment does it and avoids being labelled as Melisandre, the fashion TV station will have a chance to truly gain recognition and cooperation from the entire fashion industry. Moreover, if this TV station is done, even if it is ostensibly neutral, it will inevitably show a tilt towards Melisandre.

Although she knew that Simon's choice was correct, out of a woman's instinct, Sophia still appropriately showed some helpless resentment and whispered a few words to the man.
