Chapter 56: This Is It
Janet didn't know if there were any examples of using black models as brochures before, but she didn't care about that, as long as her daughter said it, she would agree to even the most ridiculous things without blinking, let alone use a black model that even she thought was good.
Moran's brand was almost created by her, she is the boss of the company, and the people below know that she is a person who takes her daughter's words as a holy decree, so even if it is such a "ridiculous" result, others can only pinch their noses and endure it.
"What?me?" Elena's first reaction when she got the news from her agent was that she must be dreaming. "Moran wants me to be a model for the brochure? Is that really me?"
The agent took her hands excitedly: "That's right, it's you! You're going to be developed! Your photos will appear in the hands of all the big designers and buyers, and you will soar from now on!"
"But, but......" Elena didn't know whether to be surprised or delighted, and her hands and feet didn't know where to put them as if they were superfluous. "Why me? Martha, Nancy, they're so much better off than I am, and they're all white!"
"Listen, Elena!" the agent solemnly put his hand on her shoulder, "You don't need to doubt your strength. From the time I took you out of the street, I already knew that you were born to be a model. Your golden ratio figure is your best weapon. And never forget your smile, that will captivate people all over the world. The most important thing is Moran's master, the great designer Janet Moran personally named you. This is your chance, you must seize it, you know?"
Elena finally calmed down, although her heart was still beating fast, at least her thoughts were no longer as chaotic as just now: "I know, I will definitely seize the opportunity!"
They didn't know that it was Leila who really hit her.
When Elena came backstage, Layla took a crush on her. A model's figure is very important for clothing, but in the same way, it is not necessary to be in good shape to become a supermodel. Otherwise, there are a lot of people in the modeling industry who have a good figure, and how many people can really become supermodels?
In Leila's eyes, Elena has a temperament that matches the style designed by her mother. The fashion to be presented this time is black and white and vintage, with understated luxury. It's not that white-skinned models can't be used, and Layla feels that the chocolate complexion will bring more wonderful chemistry to the clothes in this collection.
In the afternoon, Leila went to the studio, and as soon as she entered, she saw a set of ink landscape painting erected in front of her. Ink and smoke clouds, still water, lonely boat returning to geese, sunset pine......
The familiar charm filled her heart, and a thin mist quietly rose in her eyes when she didn't even notice it.
"Why? can't this be painted?" said Janet, who had not spoken when she had come in, thinking that she was not satisfied.
Leila resisted the action of wiping her eyes, smiled and shook her head, "No, it's good, it's very much in line with my hope." ”
"That's good. Janet relieved herself, turned to her assistant and asked, "Phoebe, isn't Elena here yet?"
"I've arrived, I'm waiting in the dressing room. The makeup artist needs to discuss with Miss Leila before applying her makeup. ”
Leila laughed, "I'll go over now." ”
As soon as she entered the dressing room, she saw that the makeup artist was still an acquaintance, and it was Sophia, who had helped Roy change her look.
"Sophia, I didn't expect to see you here. She smiled and walked over.
"Hello, dear master photographer, it is my pleasure to serve you. Sophia gave her a medieval courtesy.
Laila was amused and stepped forward to hug her: "I'm relieved to see you coming." With your help, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to fail. ”
Who doesn't want their work to be recognized? Sophia was no exception, smiling much brighter: "Last time your work received a lot of praise, this time I have to learn from you." ”
Leila deliberately made a helpless gesture: "Are we just going to flatter each other here?"
Sophia and she looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.
"Okay, no more fuss. Let me tell you about it. Sophia introduced to Elena, who was cramped in the back, "This is the photographer in charge of this brochure, Miss Leila Moran. ”
"Hello, Miss Moran. Elena tried to forget about her heart that was about to burst out, and held out her hand with a smile: "It's a pleasure to see you." She remembered Janet Moran, the founder of the Moran brand, and remembered that the agent had talked to her about her, as if he had said that the strong woman had a daughter.
"Leila, this is Elena, the model this time. I heard that you took a liking to it at first sight? You really have an eye, she has a very beautiful silhouette. ”
Sophia's words made Elena stunned, she heard from the agent that Janet had chosen her, but listening to the makeup artist's words, was she chosen by this young lady?
Leila smiled gently at Elena, who was still a little nervous, "Yes, as soon as she came out, I knew 'it was her'. She has a temperament that I really admire, and I think she would bring my mother's designs to great effect. ”
"Thank you, I'll definitely do my best!" Elena's eyes reddened slightly. Since she was discovered, she has encountered countless nails, and this is the first time that she has been described by such an agreeing statement.
Leila smiled and nodded, "Alright, let's design the makeup this time." ”
As she spoke, she asked Elena to sit in front of the makeup mirror, looking at her in the mirror, and she said what she thought: "Sophia, this time the design is mainly black and white tones and retro designs. I want a retro crimson lipstick. Her eyes are beautiful, and you want to emphasize that, I think a heavy smoky makeup should be good. In addition, her hair is straightened, and it is best to look like a waterfall when the wind blows. ”
Sophia nodded, and took out a tube of lipstick from the rows of makeup: "How about this color? ”
"Yes, that's it. ”
The two discussed as they smeared on Elena's face, while other assistants helped her with her hair and nails.
After more than two busy hours, when Elena changed into her first dress and walked out of the dressing room, Janet couldn't help but get up from her chair, and even her breathing accelerated in an instant.
Yes!
That's the feeling she wants to stand out from this collection!
