Chapter 55: It's Her

Ink paintings are easy to find, and they don't need to be too famous, as long as they can express the artistic conception.

Although Janet still didn't know what her daughter was thinking, Leila said that she would definitely not refuse, and immediately called someone to find such a painting.

Of course, this painting does not need to be a real painting, it can be printed or dyed on cloth, and it is used as a background.

Today's task is mainly to choose the models to be featured in the brochure. The brochure does not put all the costumes that need to be displayed, but a selection of them and one or more people put them on and take pictures.

Leila will be taken by Janet to meet the models, and she will choose who she wants.

"You know, I don't like models who are too skinny. On the way to work, several skinny models walked by, and Janet couldn't help but complain: "The current models are too skinny, not healthy at all." I prefer that my clients can appear in public with a healthy image. And I don't think it's nice to be thin and stand on the show like that. ”

Leila agrees, knowing how scary it is for models to stay in shape. In order to make their bodies standard, they not only need to calculate every bite of food, but even drink water and exercise, and every step needs to strictly implement the plan, so as not to lose their jobs because they can't button them or zip them when they should be on the field.

It seems that the models only need to walk around the catwalk twice in beautiful clothes to get paid, but how many people know their sadness behind the scenes?

At least Leila thinks she can't do it. Life is short for a few decades, if you need to count this and that even if you need to eat something, then what's the point of living? Do you have to ask others what hamburgers, ice cream, and hot dogs taste like when you go to the underworld after death?

The models stayed in a hotel arranged in advance by the company. Before the show starts, they will be trained and rehearsed here.

One of the things that Leila likes about her mother is that she likes to use new people and is willing to give them a chance. She does not pursue so-called supermodels and supermodels, as long as it can make her look good, even if it is a young lady drinking coffee on the side of the road, she can be invited to come and walk around.

Although the brand Moran is a new brand, it has become more and more popular in the past two years. As a result, many new models and their agents are more than willing to take Moran's job.

When Janet set her sights on Hollywood, it has to be said that she made a very good move. With the help of stardom, her outfit was published in the media by various street photos.

Do you really think that all the random street photos in newspapers and magazines are really rushed out? A large part of them are actually from celebrity public relations, and it is better to take some beautiful photos under the arrangement than to be taken indiscriminately and then make a fool of yourself, right?

And "Moran" is most famous for red carpet outfits and banquet attire, especially when Hollywood stars walk the red carpet, through photos and screens, countless people can clearly see the beautiful figure of the star, see such a beautiful scenery, and how many capable people can resist not buying themselves a Moran costume?

At this press conference in Milan, Janet still used the newcomers. The person chosen will not be the dry and thin type she doesn't like, but full of health and vitality, as well as a sexy body.

"Let's stop. Seeing Janet coming, the teacher in charge of the rehearsal clapped her hands and beckoned the models to stop.

"Go and talk to them. Janet said to her assistant Phoebe.

Phoebe understood what she meant, and walked over to the stage and whispered a few words in the instructor's ear.

"Understood. The other man nodded, and began to instruct the models to simulate the performance on the catwalk.

Every model walks in front of Leila, unaware that the selection for the brochure model is underway, but that doesn't stop them from trying to make the most of every step. This is a precious opportunity for them to stand out from thousands of newcomers and get Moran's catwalk invitation, and I don't know how many newcomer models will envy to death.

Speaking of which, Leila has actually become quite famous in the world. However, she belongs to the people who stand behind the camera, and she rarely appears in social circles, so not many people really know what she looks like.

At the moment, she was wearing a somewhat wide white shirt, loosely tucked into the corners of the pants in black and white checkered, looking clean and simple, but also stylish. She is also 172 tall, and she has no sense of disobedience when walking in the model. When the models see her walking beside the boss, they will only think that she is the new model, and will not associate her real identity.

Model after model walked down the catwalk in front of her, striking all sorts of beautiful poses. These models are not very old, and because they have just joined this industry, they have not been polluted by some rules of the modeling circle, and they can clearly feel the sunshine, youth and bright smiles from their bodies.

This is one of the reasons why Janet likes to work with newcomers, she doesn't want to have even a little bit of something negative in her work.

"Who's that?" Leila raised her chin and motioned for her mother to look at the model as she walked by.

"Oh, you're talking about Elena. He's a pretty kid, isn't it? Janet laughed, suddenly shook her head again, and said with some pity: "It is not easy for black people to survive in the modeling industry." ”

Leila nodded thoughtfully, it was still 1997, and even ten years later, this unfair discrimination against blacks still hadn't improved much.

Speaking of black models, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Naomi Campbell, known as the Black Pearl, and Tyra Banks, who is known as the Black Beauty and created the reality show National Supermodel Competition, that is, the one nicknamed Tai Ma.

It is said that in the modeling industry, about 80% are white, and of the remaining 20 percent, less than 10% are black, and Asians are even more pitiful, at most about 6%.

This is the share of the catwalk, and if it is replaced by print ads, magazine color pages, etc., black people get even fewer opportunities. If there's a print ad that requires more than a dozen models, it's normal for only one black person to be in it. Often, when a black model applies for a job, the answer is "we already have a black model."

Janet has been in the fashion industry for several years and knows these things all too well. In her own case, she actually feels that white skin can better set off the tone of her works.

"Mom, I want her!" Leila looked in the direction of the backstage with fiery eyes, having already made a decision.

The model of the brochure is her!

"Huh?" Before Janet could speak, her assistant Phoebe had already screamed.

Did she have a malfunction in her ears and hear it wrong?
