1781 was in a hurry
Time flies by to immerse yourself in one thing, and it seems that Lan Li has only just returned from Berlin, and before he even has time to adjust his schedule, the Oscars are already close at hand.
In the past few years, all the awards ceremony dresses of Blue Ceremony have been handed over to Eaton Dormer, and there is no need to worry too much before each award ceremony. This year, however, the situation has changed slightly.
Eaton didn't have time.
Eaton's personal brand appeared at London Fashion Week and won the qualification for the catwalk, which was an excellent opportunity for the personal brand to be fully upgraded and opened up the situation, so from the summer, Eaton began to look for inspiration one after another, and after entering October, he fully entered the design of his personal brand spring and summer collection, entered a state of complete retreat, and almost disappeared; Arthur converged and traveled to Europe to open up the situation for Sisyphus Pictures' first injection of funds, which can be described as a heart-to-heart match.
But other than that, Eaton is completely in a state where the dragon has no end in sight: his news only stays in the relay of friends.
I heard that because of the pressure, even in his sleep, Eton was thinking about design inspiration, and the whole person was already a little nervous.
In such a situation, Eaton really did not have the time or energy to prepare the dress for the award ceremony. Not long ago, at the Golden Globes and Sundances, Lan Li's costumes were all chosen by herself, and the Oscars were no exception.
Top big-name actors generally choose to start choosing dresses in mid-November, especially actresses, in order to avoid clashing shirts, and in order to get more choices, it is even more necessary to start choosing early, while second- and third-tier actors, because they are not sure of their attendees, often look at the nominations and awards distribution at the awards season outpost, and then estimate their attendance - even directly refer to the guest list announced by the academy to start choosing dresses in late December or early January.
On the one hand, because there are many guests in attendance, but designers and brands are limited, if you don't choose in advance, then there may be no choice - sometimes, on the Oscar red carpet, actresses' evening dresses are particularly terrifying, in fact, they can't be blamed, or their designers, because there is a possibility that the best designs are selected by top actors first.
On the other hand, because the value of evening dresses and supporting jewelry is extremely expensive, the average value of evening dresses for female guests is about 60,000 to 80,000 US dollars, if you add jewelry accessories - the jewelry of those top sponsoring brands is often limited, and jewelry needs to be matched with clothing, which is really "slow", and for those third-tier actors, such expenses are really too expensive, so they need to determine their attendance qualifications, so they can start preparing with confidence.
There are only very, very small guests who may wait until the eve of the Golden Globes to prepare their dresses, and there are even special circumstances, after winning an Oscar nomination, after the nominations are out, they realize that they can attend the awards ceremony, and then prepare the evening gowns on the fly, but there are very few options at this time.
Lan Li belongs to the last type.
Previously, Lan Li was busy filming "Interstellar", and later encountered an accident with Paul Walker, and he didn't have the heart to think about those award ceremonies, let alone any dress preparations. However, Andy still dutifully made relevant arrangements in advance, and released the news early that this year's awards ceremony dresses for the Blue Ceremony will be solicited for submissions, and major brands and private designers are welcome to submit.
At that time, Andy's phone was directly blown up: whether it is a big brand or an unknown designer, everyone is looking forward to their designs being worn on Lan Li.
But later, Lan Li dragged on and on, and there was no movement at all. Even though these brands and designers are willing to wait for Lan Li, other big-name actors can't wait, procrastinating and intermittently, and those designs are gradually being picked away. Although it is difficult to say that men's evening dresses are unusually bold and new, there are still fewer and fewer designs left.
Unexpectedly appeared at the Golden Globe Awards, Lan Li's unexpected attendance brought a huge surprise, and Lan Li chose a decent Burberry basic suit, but still easily made a big show on the red carpet, and even stole Robert Downey Jr.'s style, which immediately made the major brands and all designers have more ideas:
What if it's an Oscar?
As a result, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, a very strange special phenomenon appeared within the fashion circle with New York and London as the core:
Many designers are looking for new inspiration and preparing new designs, not for this year's autumn and winter fashion, but to be able to become the queen design of Lanli. Just for a blue gift!
It's hard to imagine that the entire fashion design community is mobilizing for an artist to attend a ceremony, and even more exaggeratedly, they can't even be sure that Lan Li will attend this year's Oscars, but now it is happening, which is another proof of the unique power of Lan Li.
Lan Li was absent from the Oscars?
It sounds like a fantasy, but Lan Li has not done it before, in order to shoot "I Fight Cancer", Lan Li was directly absent from the Oscars, and now it is not a shocking decision to be absent for a second time, especially now that the protests on social networks are getting louder and louder, it seems that "if the academy dares to award the little gold man to the Blue Ceremony, there will inevitably be turmoil", and the overwhelming complaints are also a wonder.
In stark contrast, the box office data of "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballad" continue to rise, and show an unstoppable attitude, both are creating their own history, not affected by negative news on the Internet in the slightest, as if the initiator of the online scolding war and the audience who buy tickets in reality are two completely different groups of people, this wonderful scene has also triggered a lot of discussions in the industry.
In this way, in the midst of a lively uncertainty, the date of the Oscars is approaching day by day, and the blue ceremony, which only returned to Los Angeles from Berlin not long ago, is still not moving, the possibility of missing the ceremony is rising little by little, and things are going to an unknown hole, but just when the doubts and worries are completely broken, the news that has been waiting and waiting for is finally confirmed by an email from Andy.
“…… On February 22nd, Blue Rite-Hall will officially select the dresses for the awards ceremony and will also be invited to send the dresses to the Eaton Dormer Costume Design Studio by the 21st ......"
The mass email is very long, but the key information is the above, and it is officially confirmed that Lan Li will attend the 86th Academy Awards, and he will indeed complete the selection of the dress himself. The reason why the 22nd was chosen is because this year's Oscars will be held on March 3, and a week is reserved in advance for the designers to revise the details.
After the news was confirmed, the fashion design circle began to be lively again - if nothing else, Lan Li should be the last of the guests to choose a dress this year, and now everyone has begun to prepare for the award ceremony with anxiety, but Lan Li is still unhurriedly choosing a dress.
Early in the morning on the 22nd, Lan Li left the house on his skateboard and slid towards Eton's private design studio.
In recent times, Lan Li has been busy with his work, and even the time for sports is very limited, let alone surfing or rock climbing, he desperately needs some fresh air, soak up the sun, and feel the winter breath, so he asks Nathan to go straight to the studio while he steps on his skateboard.
Eaton has studios in Los Angeles and New York, mainly to tailor the details of the suit so that it can be tailored to the nearest detail. Now that Eaton is in London for the final sprint to Fashion Week, the Los Angeles studio is naturally free to serve as a venue for the Blue Rite fitting.
Walking along Santa Monica Boulevard, Lan Li deliberately took a detour, flickering left and right through the straight and spacious streets of Los Angeles, the graffiti murals on both sides of the road flew all the way in the eye of the eye, the golden sunlight was lazily sprinkled down, the wind blew away the messy hair, and the arms were spread as if wandering in the cold and laziness of the early morning.
When Lan Li arrived at his destination, a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his back and forehead, wetting his hair, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was raised relaxedly, and his entire chest cavity was filled with fresh oxygen, making his body much lighter, and the feeling of pleasure emanated from every pore on his body.
Who would have thought that Lan Li would come to choose his own ceremonial dress in such a way?
"Hey, Lan Li!" just pushed open the door, and someone couldn't wait to wait in front of the entrance, greeted enthusiastically, and then rushed up quickly, "Wow, it's really a fashionista who leads the fashion, and every move is at the forefront, and today's outfit may cause countless people to follow suit." ”
Such obvious and clumsy flattery instantly brought Lan Li back to some vulgar parties, and even the methods of flattery were too low-end and vulgar, so that Lan Li couldn't react for a while.
Lan Li's footsteps paused slightly, and his gaze fell on the figure who took the initiative to meet him, with a flattering and flattering smile on his cheeks, like a harlequin in Italian comedy, which made Lan Li's eyebrows rise slightly, and a shallow smile flowed under his eyes, "Oh, yes? When it comes to fashion trends, my news is always lagging behind, and it seems that I missed some important moments." ”
