George Wilkes sat in the lobby of the hotel, looking slightly nervous, today is likely to be the day that will change his career, everything happened so fast, he didn't have time to do psychological construction, after coming to the hotel, he entered a long wait, and the anxiety was indeed irrepressible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His eyes kept looking towards the door, and the lush greenery of Central Park formed a beautiful arc in the night, outlining the unique beauty of the city of New York, but he didn't have the heart to take it slowly, and then he saw the appearance of the target person.

That's Lan Li.

George nervously adjusted his tie to make sure it wasn't tied crookedly, and then stood up, but he couldn't move a little on his feet. Standing next to Lan Li was the famous Tom Ford, Tom had an excited look on his face, and he had a good conversation with Lan Li, and on the other side of Lan Li was Eton, a stylist with little reputation, but for George, he was a Bole with the grace of acquaintance.

The footsteps of the group stopped in the center of the hotel lobby, Tom said a few more words, and then turned to leave, Lan Li and the others stepped forward again, George knew that his opportunity had come, and his brain didn't have time to think, so he walked forward quickly. Breathe, breathe...... He kept reminding himself to breathe.

"Lan Li. George's call blurted out, but because his throat was a little tight, the voice was not very loud, but a little hard.

But Lan Li still stopped and cast a polite gaze.

"How should I introduce myself?" said George, a little stunned.

"This is George Wilkes. "He just started his own brand a while ago and is a new potential stock. ”

Lan Li smiled and nodded, but before George could say hello, Eaton continued, "Don't stand here and gossip, go upstairs and talk in detail." ”

George closed his mouth and followed them as he took the elevator upstairs. The dark red carpet covered the entire corridor, silent and serene, making people involuntarily slow down their breathing, but after actually entering the room, George felt what it means to be luxurious, just the living room is the size of half a basketball court, at this time, there are four golden gantries in the open space on the right, on which are hung with all kinds of suits, which suddenly makes the whole space narrow.

George stood cautiously in the living room, glancing at Burberry, Tom Ford, Dior, Armani, Paul-Smith...... There are different levels and different styles of design, everything is available, and he hurriedly scans the past, and he doesn't see where his design hangs, and he has obviously entrusted an assistant to send it this afternoon, maybe hidden inside.

George's mood became more and more nervous, just by glancing at the gantry, he could feel the fierce competition, and it was difficult to climb to the sky if he wanted to fight his way out of the encirclement.

Not only George, but Andy was also an eye-opener at this time. Andy wasn't surprised by the clothes, as Harrison Ford's agent, as a veteran agent at Innovative Artists' Agency, he had seen more grandiose and grander scenes, but he was surprised by Eaton's ability.

As a newcomer with an unstable foundation, it is almost impossible for Lan Li to directly win the favor of these big names, unless it is like Karl Lagerfeld hand-picked Blake Lively, who completed the triple jump of the fashion circle overnight and was truly reborn. But at this moment, the clothes placed on the gantry in front of you are ironclad facts, which prove the importance of stylists.

Judging from the style and design of those clothes on today's gantry, Eaton's connections and abilities are still faintly above Melvin Bradles. For Lan Li, it is really rare.

"Let's start now, there's not much time left until midnight, and I don't want to see the tragedy of the wolf king's transformation. Eaton quipped.

It's no secret that Lan Li is sleepy.

The origin of the famous "boar incident" at Eton College was that the dormitory administrator had made a sudden round at 12 o'clock at midnight three times in a week before that, turning on the lights in all the rooms, and checking them one by one.

Lan Li didn't care about such ridicule, and walked to the center of the hall in a dignified manner, waiting for Eton's assessment.

Eaton stepped forward, according to the custom of Savile Row, raised Lan Li's hands, stretched them out, and then used a tape measure to make a simple understanding of the dimensions of each detail, in addition to the basic data, neck circumference, wrists, forearms, calves and other seemingly unrelated data were also recorded.

George looked at Andy and Matthew, who were sitting on the couch, hesitated for a moment, and stood on the other side of the hall, watching their work from afar. George knows that a truly top-notch custom suit must be done with complete meticulousness, and the quality of a detail can affect the overall quality.

After the measurement, Eaton walked over to the gantry and began to carefully select, "Why don't we start with George?"

George immediately stepped forward quickly, ready to start work, but before he could reach the gantry, there was a knock at the door, George looked at the other people in the room, stunned for half a second, anyway, he was standing in the corridor at the entrance, so he said, "I'll open the door." ”

It was Burberry's man who came in, and it was clear from the words that he was supposed to be Christopher Bailey's assistant.

After a period of polite pleasantries, it was natural that Lan Li began to try on the clothes from Burberry, while the assistant stood by and used a pin to adjust the size of the garment to ensure the best possible result.

Before Burberry's fitting was over, someone came over, this time it was Paul Smith's marketing director in New York, and the scene became noisy again, and it was Paul Smith's turn to try on.

George felt like an outsider, he wanted to fit in, he knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he knew these were people in the fashion industry, and he knew that tonight was a big deal, and if he could get to meet these people, his path as a designer would be a lot easier. However, he was at a loss for what to do, and he couldn't even interject, let alone talk freely.

A nobody like him is like a little transparent, with no sense of existence at all.

After trying on twenty-five suits in a row without stopping, the clock had already bought past the midnight level, and Lan Li also felt a little tired. Changing clothes is actually a physical job, which is the truest realization of Lan Li.

Of all the try-ons just now, the one that worked best was Tom Ford.

The Golden Globe Awards are different from the Oscars and Emmys, it emphasizes more entertainment, and the atmosphere at the scene is more relaxed. The male actors are also free and competent, even if they are not inferior to actresses.

Tom Ford's designs are bolder and more trendy, but at the same time retain clean lines, especially the cut of the shoulder line, chest line and waistline, revealing the designer's usual sexuality/sensibility.

Such a suit appeared at the Oscars, which was too ostentatious, but it was just right for the Golden Globes.

"Do you want to try again?" asked Eaton, clasping his hands over his chest, "Or do you want to get here tonight for the time being?"

Hearing this, George's heart jumped to his throat, and the whole person tensed, he waited here for three hours, without saying a word, should he continue to wait until tomorrow?

He didn't mind waiting, but what if Lan Li decided not to try again tomorrow and chose Tom Ford directly? He didn't even have a chance to show himself, so he was eliminated directly? Should he go forward and take the initiative to fight for it? What should he say to let Lan Li stay?

"George?" a call came from his ear, a little hoarse from exhaustion, he jerked his head up, and then saw Lan Li's gaze, "Eton is waiting for you." ”

George's mood immediately soared, and on the gantry in Eaton's hand, it was the suit he designed, "Of course, of course." George walked forward quickly, "These three sets are my designs, inspired by you, emphasizing the simplicity of the lines......"

"Slow down. Lan Li laughed dumbly, and George realized that because he was too eager and too excited, he spoke much faster than usual, like a machine gun, which made him pull the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but he couldn't laugh. "You just said that these three sets of clothes were designed with me as inspiration?"

Lan Li thinks this is ridiculous, he only has two works so far, "Pacific War" is broadcast on paid cable TV, the video has not yet been released, and the audience is really limited; "Buried Alive" is a small-scale screening, and the screening venues are also very limited, after all, the excitement of the news is only circulated among the audience who cares about the movie, and after the Golden Globe Award nomination list comes out, even many people wonder who "Lan Li-Hall" is.

His popularity is at most the level of a third-tier actor, how can anyone use him as inspiration to complete the design?

George's dry humor deserves recognition.

"Yes. George nodded and affirmed, "I watched 'War in the Pacific' and was very impressed with the character of Eugene Sledgehammer Slaich, and then I watched the YouTube videos of your two singles and got some inspiration to design these three suits." It's made for you, and I feel like no one but you can wear the true essence of these three suits. ”

George's eyes flashed with excitement, sincere and determined, which made Lan Li stunned and turned his head to look at Eton.

But I saw Eton shrug his shoulders with a smile, as if to say: My choice is not random.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "My honor." I'm a little impatient to see what the design is like for me. ”
