121 Insider Doorway

Melvin was on the verge of an outburst, and the nobody had tried on twenty-four suits for nearly three hours, but each one could find fault with each one and then have to start all over again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even Anne Hathaway was not so troublesome.

Of course, it is normal for actresses to try on fifty dresses in order to attend the Oscars, but this guy is just attending an Emmy Awards, so what is he doing solemnly?

If it weren't for Andy Rogers' face, he wouldn't want to deal with such a hillbilly who has never seen the world. Thinking of the innovative artist agency behind Andy, Melvin let out a long breath and advised himself to endure it for the sake of his future work.

"I think it's a very good set, it's young and vibrant, it's very well cut, and it's very much in line with your style, you just need to comb your hair all the way with wax, and you can't go wrong. Melvin suppressed the last of his patience and spoke, but there was already some slackness in his words.

Looking at this Scottish checked suit in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the big red, dark blue and black checks are dazzling, and the consistent checks up and down are even more excessive, some of them are too strong, if you replace the pants with monochrome, the overall sense will be much better. In addition, this outfit would be perfect for a fashion ceremony or a celebration party, but it would be too hungry/thirsty to attend the Emmys, and the message of "please follow me" is exuded all over the body.

Hearing Melvin's words, Lan Li couldn't help frowning slightly, he could feel the stylist's impatience, but the problem was that he was the one who tried on the clothes, he was more tired and impatient than Melvin, and besides, they paid Melvin to be the stylist, so Melvin had to do his job dutifully--the recommendation of more than 20 suits just now, Lan Li really began to wonder if Andy had been deceived? Melvin's professionalism is really hard to disagree.

However, Lan Li still maintained basic etiquette and said, "Personally, I think this suit is too flamboyant, and it is not appropriate to attend the Emmy Awards." ”

Melvin raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but add a hint of mockery - what did this hillbilly know, and actually questioned his professionalism, "So which one do you think is more suitable?" Melvin stepped out of the way and showed the gantry behind him, "Otherwise, you can try that Vivienne-Westwood? This is a British brand, I think it must be very suitable for you." ”

Lan Li's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was not very friendly, "Are you kidding me? I think this set is too flamboyant, and then you recommend Vivienne Westwood to me? I don't think it's a wise choice? Could it be that you, as a stylist, only have a gantry reserve? This is all your hole cards? The bottom of a bunch of pressure boxes in a bunch of fashion magazine warehouses?" Lan Li has always been low-key and introverted, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of conflict and has no temper. Politeness does not mean weakness.

Vivian Westwood's designs are rebellious, flamboyant, bold, and unconventional, which is almost her calling card. Melvin's choice of this brand is obviously an unprofessional performance.

"Are you a stylist, or am I a stylist?" Melvin was directly furious, he is now a well-known top stylist in the industry, and where did this guy come out of nowhere, pointing at himself, that picky and arrogant appearance really makes people laugh off their big teeth, and all the suppressed anger before completely exploded, "What do you know about fashion? What do you know about suits? Is it your major, or am I professional?" Look at the clothes you're wearing today, T-shirts and jeans, and you've chosen cloth shoes that fashionistas will never touch? It's a slum look, and you're still here to guide me in my work?"

Melvin turned around and looked at Andy with a flushed face, his lips trembling slightly because of the anger of the departure, "Andy, I'm sorry. I really want to get the job done, but apparently your actors are not cooperating at all, not only pointing fingers, but also insulting my profession, which is absolutely not allowed. I won't take this job, and the deposit paid in advance is non-refundable, but I won't accept the subsequent payment. Please leave now!"

Lan Li couldn't laugh or cry, Melvin actually took the preemptive action, and the wicked sued first, as if he was the one who had been wronged. However, Lan Li did not rush to defend himself, but looked at Andy, he was a little curious, as an agent, how Andy would deal with it.

Andy still had that kind smile on his face, as if he didn't even notice the tension in the room, "Melvin, you're a stylist, you have to do your job." I don't know exactly what's going on here, but I know for sure that if it's Brad Pitt standing in front of you, I don't think you'll be angry. ”

To be honest, Andy really didn't understand the situation, he felt that Melvin's job was in place, and the suit looked good on Lan Li. However, Andy's position is very clear, internal problems can be slowly solved after going back, and now is the time to face outsiders, he unconditionally chooses to support his artists.

"Andy, I'll tell you what's going on!" Melvin is like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail, jumping up and snubbing a newcomer is one thing, and being poked by an agent is another, of course he won't admit it," He's a layman who doesn't know anything about suits, he points fingers at my work, he refuses to trust my profession, he refuses to accept my opinions, he may not even know the difference between small lapels and big lapels, but he keeps saying things there that don't make any sense, I don't understand what I mean here as a stylist. ”

Hearing this, Lan Li couldn't help but feel a little ridiculously happy, in fact, on the contrary, he had worn a suit the most in the past twenty years, and he had to wear formal clothes even for meals at home, not to mention those formal occasions, and the uniforms in the school were all uniform suits. In his life, suits are the norm.

However, all his suits are hand-made, and those who have not reached that level can't see the difference in quality at all, and will only think that they are tailor products without a brand. The truth is that Lan Li really doesn't like to wear suits very much, because a real high-end suit is very cumbersome to wear-

A high-end suit is actually spliced together, taking a shirt as an example, it is divided into a piece of fabric in the front, a piece of fabric in the back, a collar, a placket, and two cuffs. There are no sleeves. After splicing the front and back pieces of fabric, button the collar on, then tie the bow tie, if it is cold in winter, you can wear a base shirt inside, and finally button the cuffs with cufflinks, which completes the wear.

The reason why there are no sleeves is simple: when the cuffs are stained, you can directly replace them with new cuffs by unbuttoning them, without having to take off the whole garment, and shirts without collars have gradually evolved into a casual shirt style, collarless shirts, because collars are only required for formal occasions, even with a tie or bow tie.

So, the whole suit is extremely cumbersome to put on, and it can't be done at all without anyone's help. This is also the reason why it is extremely cumbersome for the nobles to prepare a banquet every time. Usually, their suits are also modernly modified, and the shirt is only divided into two parts, the collar and the body, which is much more convenient to wear.

Lan Li actually had three haute couture suits in his wardrobe, but he didn't feel the need to wear them to the Emmys, so he left the styling problem to Andy.

Obviously, Andy didn't know about this situation, thinking about it carefully, the two of them only met for the fourth time today, the first time Lan Li was wearing St. Pacrete's Day costume, the second time was about to go skateboarding, and the third time was just getting off the plane, and each time Lan Li was dressed in casual clothes, casual and simple. So, it's not unusual.

"In fact, there really is no point in your existence. Lan Li's gentle voice spoke flatly, but there was a piercing coldness of its own, Melvin was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer, "First of all, you haven't really measured the size of various parts of my body, and the size of each brand will be slightly different, and in the absence of reference data, your every recommendation doesn't fit well; What style should I choose for my position and so on? You haven't thought it through. ”

Melvin opened his mouth to argue, but Lan Li didn't give him a chance.

"In the end, I tried on a total of 25 suits, seven of which were Dior's and eight of which were Armani's. But the interesting thing is that Dior's silhouette is always on the narrow side, and the proportions of the shoulders and waist are not suitable for me, while Armani's silhouette is always on the general side, with no lines and no cut to speak of, and the upper body effect is more skewed towards men over 35 years old. None of this suits me well. If I'm not mistaken, you should have been sponsored by Dior and Armani, right?"

Melvin felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cave, his muscles stiff, his expression wooden, and he couldn't even make a sound.

"On a side note, I'm British, and I don't have any problems with checks, stripes, but gray vertical stripes, navy blue diagonal stripes, dark gray dark checks, God, is there some misunderstanding between us, do you think I'm fifty years old?"

Lan Li's sharp words made Melvin dumbfounded, and even the blonde standing next to her was already stunned and overwhelmed. Lan Li looked around and continued to mend the knife, "If that's all you can offer, then, I don't think I really need a stylist. Andy, why don't we move somewhere?"

Andy nodded calmly, "Okay." ”

Lan Li showed a big smile, "Give me two minutes, I'll change this circus costume." ”
