Chapter 185: The Dinner Party (5)

Yi Yanyun was originally a plan, for people with strange tempers, if they can't avoid it, then after saying hello, they can hide as far as they can.

As for the director's question, whether it is talking about the shoes he is wearing now, or the styles in the store or this year's fashion week, it is not enough to prove Yan Yun's love for this brand.

Although Yan Yun couldn't understand Italian, the tone and eyes of the director directly aroused Yan Yun's "fighting spirit".

"I love a lot of the shoes designed by Salvatore Ferragamo. Yan Yun began to speak, and Lei Thunderbolt began to translate.

Hearing such an opening, the last trace of kindness on the director's face disappeared.

He was a little tempted to get out of where he was, he wasn't here for the interns to be harassed at the dinner, and the brand director was a little bit sorry that he had come a little earlier today.

"I have three pairs of shoes that I particularly like, and two pairs of shoes that I don't have a good idea of how comfortable they are. ”

"My first pair of shoes I liked was a golden sandal in the shape of an inverted pyramid inspired by archaeological finds in Egypt in 1929. That pair of shoes does a particularly good job of visual extension. It is an eternal classic of that era. ”

"My second favorite shoe was a cork wedge heel designed by Mr. Salvatore in 1937. I marveled at Mr. Salvatole's ingenuity in the use of shoemaking materials in an era of scarce resources. The design was invented for a patent, and although it was only one of the 350 patents registered by Mr. Salvatore, it was the first patent in the world fashion calendar. ”

"My favorite third pair of shoes was the rainbow prop shoe that Mr. Salvatore designed for the legendary movie star Judy Garland in 1938. In designing those shoes, Mr. Salvatore invented the boat-shaped heel. This heel is the ancestor of flatform shoes that are still popular today. In addition to the heel, the color scheme of this shoe is as beautiful as a rainbow. The shoes are designed to be very comfortable to wear despite the high heel because of the extra-high platform. I think it was the boat-shaped heel that rescued the diminutive Asian woman. ”

Every time Yan Yun finished saying a pair of shoes, Lei Lili began to translate.

Lei Li's translation speed was very fast, and there wasn't much to wait for Yan Yun to wait for.

Yan Yun has always known Lei Li's English translation level, but without prior preparation, Yan Yun was a little surprised to be able to translate all the fashion history she said into Italian so easily.

Yan Yun was still thinking that if Lei Thunderbolt was very reluctant to translate, he would try to say it simply, and after seeing Lei Thunderbolt easily translate the first pair of shoes, Yan Yun's introduction to his favorite shoes became more and more detailed.

After listening to Yan Yun's description, the director put away his aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"Which two pairs of shoes are comfortable that you can't understand?" the brand director became interested in Yan's opinion, and he began to ask directly in English.

Because he can't be sure now whether Yan Yun really has more ideas, or the person who translated Chinese into Italian for her is more thoughtful.

"The first pair of shoes whose comfort is incomprehensible was the famous invisible sandals made by Mr. Salvatore out of fishing line in 1947, which won Mr. Salvatore the Neiman Marcus Aard. I couldn't understand how to put the fishing line on the shoes to make them comfortable. I'm always looking forward to the opportunity to actually try it out with these shoes. (Note 1)

Another pair of shoes that I think I have to wear to understand their comfort is an 18-carat yellow gold sandal that Mr. Salvatore handmade in 1956 for a customer in Australia. Yan Yun directly answered the director's question, since the director began to speak English, Yan Yun no longer needed to speak Chinese first and then let Lei Thunderbolt translate.

After the brand director started speaking English, Lei Pili stepped back in time to go about his business.

Yan Yun did make a pilgrimage to Florence because she liked Salvatore Ferragamo, and if it weren't for this, she would have gone to New York to find Qi Yi a long time ago.

Yan Yun has always felt that for Salvatore Ferragamo, the materials that can be used to make shoes are only what people can't think of, and there is nothing he can't do.

"The Invisible Sandals are still in our museum and can be given a try when the time is right. But we only have pictures of gold sandals, so you shouldn't have a chance to try them on. The content of the director's speech directly illustrates the change in his attitude.

"It's really exciting news. Unfortunately, even if I did get the chance to try them on, I wouldn't have been able to perceive the comfort of the shoes, because they couldn't be my size.

I was in Australia before, where Ferragamo started with a size 6.5 (equivalent to a size 37 domestically).

A few years ago, in China, it started with 5.5 (36).

It was only after I had a size 3.5 (equivalent to 34) Ferragamo shoes in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong that I started to have the opportunity to buy shoes from this brand.

It's just that the shoes I wear now need to be customized, such as the pair on my feet today, even if there is a color I customized, I can't buy the right size.

After I wore a few pairs of shoes, I found that my actual size was only 3 (33.5 domestic) when I wore Ferragamo.

I think in the eyes of big brands, feet like mine are definitely in children's size.

If there is a luxury brand that can sell shoes up to size 3, there should be a lot more 'children' fans like me. "The fact that my feet are too small to buy shoes has always been a big problem for Yan Yun.

Although size 34 shoes can also be worn, they are not the most suitable size after all.

"Aha, I'm going to go back and have someone do a market research to see how many potential 'kid' fans there are like you. The brand director was still a little interested in the message Yan Yun had just given.
