Chapter 190: I Know It
When Lei Thunderbolt returned to the banquet after other official duties, he was also surprised by the situation inside.
Lei Lili didn't expect that in less than half an hour, so many big names gathered around Yan Yun.
He was originally worried that the unfamiliar "Italian Chinese designer Yan Yun" would be snubbed on the spot, so he would spend his time to understand and find a way to help get the brand director of Salvatore Ferragamo.
At this time, the situation at the scene made one more person curious about Yan Yun's "background", and the new one is still one of Yan Yun's backgrounds in the eyes of others.
If Lei Thunderbolt hadn't personally invited Yan Yun, he would definitely have thought that Yan Yun and these people had known each other a long time ago.
"Didn't the other designers get the invitations?
I thought that today's dinner party, everyone would be able to get some invitations to a certain extent.
If I'm the only exception, it's because of ......
I have the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose. "When Yan Yun is normal, he always likes to say something narcissistic with half-truths.
"I see, listening to you say this, I suddenly have a feeling of enlightenment, and I finally understand the reason for this. "Thunderbolt is super supportive, very cooperative.
"Haha, got it? It seems that my recent trip to Korea was quite successful. "After Yan Yun's narcissism, he will definitely be blackened.
Seamlessly switching between narcissism and self-blackening is a natural fit.
"It seems that you have met a doctor with great skills, so remember to bring me with you next time you go. Lei Lili then joked about Yan Yun's self-teasing.
"How can this work, of course the whole thing has to be hidden, how can you let people know casually?" Yan Yun continued to be nonsensical.
"Why would you want to open your studio in New York if you want to go to Paris Fashion Week the most?" said Thunderbolt with a smile back to the point.
"Well, well, there are a lot of reasons, first, my boyfriend has been alone in New York for a long time, and I have to go and accompany him.
Second, I probably won't be able to attend French Fashion Week in the second half of this year, and if that happens, I'd like to start from New York Fashion Week for Fall/Winter in February next year.
I'm not so much a dream of a designer as a business dream of being a brand.
The commercialization of New York Fashion Week couldn't be more suitable for me.
I have to go to New York Fashion Week, and even if I'm lucky enough to be in time for this year's Spring/Summer 2013 Paris Fashion Week, I'm going to have a show in New York next year. Yan Yun gave two reasons. (Note 1)
But based on Yan Yun's own words, "there is no direct relationship between where to open a studio and where to make your debut", only the first reason is the real key.
"It's going to New York to accompany your boyfriend......" After Lei Lili listened to Yan Yun's reason, his heart was full of a sense of loss.
Thunderbolt took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state so that the sense of loss would creep up from his heart and face directly.
How did Yan Yun get along with Qi Yi, and Lei Thunderbolt didn't see it with his own eyes.
Anyway, for the next four or five months, Yan Yun was in Florence like him, and it was a happy thing to see Yan Yun from time to time.
Lei Thunderbolt already knew the actual situation in his mind.
As long as he restrains himself, doesn't chase after Yan Yun, and doesn't say something he wants to confess from time to time, then Yan Yun will no longer say that he doesn't even have to do such a thing as a friend.
"It's not exactly to be with my boyfriend, I go to New York, I have to go to Pasons Fashion School for a degree, and then I have to open a studio and prepare for fashion week. Yan Yun explained a little what he was going to do in New York.
"So are you sure you can go to New York Fashion Week now?" said Thunderbolt for more specifics.
"Haha, now? Of course I'm not sure. I'm a rookie, will there still be major fashion weeks for me to pick and choose?" Yan Yun responded with a smile, a little too much to look up to her thunderbolt.
"In that case, you've met so many important figures in the Italian fashion scene today, why don't you try starting at Milan Fashion Week?" said Lei Thunderbolt, hoping that he could help Yan Yun.
The Ministry of Commerce will not have only one dinner, nor can it only do one overseas promotion of Chinese brands, both public and private, Lei Lei hopes that Yan Yun can stay in Italy for a longer time.
Lei is well aware that whether it is a domestic chamber of commerce or an Italian chamber of commerce, there will be activities to support Chinese designers.
Even if Milan's fashion week is xenophobic, it doesn't mean that there are no opportunities for Chinese designers.

Note 1:
The book is now written in 2012, and the year before Spring/Summer Fashion Week is written in 2013, which is not a clerical error.
Because it takes at least half a year for ready-to-wear to be released to the shelves, the 2012 Fall/Winter Fashion Week in February and March is prepared for the 2012 Fall/Winter season.
In September and October, the Spring/Summer Fashion Week is the ready-to-wear collection that will be released in the spring and summer of the following year, and the year will be added to the year.

When Xiaomo wrote this chapter, it was the end of October 2017, and the four major fashion weeks for the spring and summer of 2018 had just ended.
The fashion extravaganza began with the first show of New York Fashion Week on September 7 and ended with the final show of Paris Fashion Week on October 3.
In the official show of this fashion week, 23 Chinese designer brands were unveiled at New York Fashion Week, and London, Milan, and Paris formed a series of equal differences such as 5, 4, and 3.
The sheer number of Chinese designers selected for New York Fashion Week has a lot to do with the commercialization of Fashion Week.
ALTHOUGH MANY OF THESE TWO DOZEN PEOPLE ARE "VETERANS" LIKE ANNA SUI (ANNA SUI), AND THERE ARE ALSO OVERSEAS AMERICANS LIKE ALEXANDER ANG, "NEW YORK'S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CHINESE DESIGNER", BOTH OF WHOM GRADUATED FROM PARSONS FASHION SCHOOL.
REALLY BORN IN CHINA, GREW UP IN CHINA, AND EVEN GOT A DEGREE IN CHINA, THERE ARE NOT MANY DESIGNERS LIKE LANYU.
Back in 2012, when I wrote in the book, it was not easy for Chinese designers to appear at New York Fashion Week.
From the beginning of 2012 to the present, in the context of the global economic downturn, Chinese designers have almost occupied half of New York Fashion Week.
In contrast, in the other three fashion weeks, which are significantly less commercialized, Chinese designers appear much less frequently.
It's just that whether a fashion week is commercialized or not has always been relative.
In today's commercialized world, it is absolutely impossible to survive a completely non-commercial fashion week.
For example, two of the four Chinese designers who appeared in Milan this season were supported by CNMI (Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana).
Chinese designers need fashion week, and fashion week also needs Chinese designers.
