Chapter 1217: What About Roy?
The fashion industry in the East started relatively late, so there are very few designers who can have their own shows internationally. But even a few of them want to carry forward the oriental style, so that people from other countries can be more shocked by the beauty of their own country.
Like embroidery or something, it's not that it didn't appear on some catwalks. It's just that those designers are very young, and their careers are only in their infancy, so they don't get much attention. The pride of Western fashionistas also makes it impossible for the Western fashion industry to recognize even if the designs of Eastern designers are very distinctive.
Instead of explaining much to him, Leila took him straight to Janet.
They had already met before, and they had a good conversation. Janet has been staying in Hollywood for the past few days, raving about the oriental dress. Just look at the many extra designs around her, and that outfit has become her muse and has given her too much inspiration. She completely left her husband and son behind and focused on the new design.
People who can put their whole and soul into their work are usually the more successful people. Janet is like this, and so is Leila, as long as they are faced with their own work, they can forget to sleep and eat, and do nothing.
When Leila led Li Zhimu back to her Beverly Hills residence, Janet was in the workshop scribbling.
"Mom, do you have time now?" she carefully stepped over the scattered manuscript papers, and climbed over the "thousands of rivers and mountains" before finally reaching the desk where her mother worked.
Janet raised her head, took off her glasses, and rubbed her bloodshot eyes: "Lyra's dear, why did you come back so early today?"
Leila frowned at her disapprovingly, "Your dark circles are heavy again, how long did you sleep yesterday?"
Janet laughed dryly twice before she said, "By the way, why are you back?" she stuck her head out and saw the man still looking for a place to stay, struggling to move this way.
Man?
The man who brought it home?
And not Roy?!
"Leila, do you have a new boyfriend?" exclaimed Janet. "And what about Roy?"
For a moment, a lot of thoughts raced through her mind. The daughter fell in love with another man, Roy left gloomily, and Eli couldn't see his father crying all day long......
Then Leila and her new boyfriend had another child, one more Oriental child! Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that this seemed to be quite good, who would think that there were too many cute and beautiful good grandchildren?
Leila didn't know that she had so many jubberish thoughts in an instant, and if she knew, she would probably be half angry. But even so, the phrase "new boyfriend" still choked her enough.
"Mom, this is Li Zhimu! You just met him a few days ago, didn't you?"
"Li Zhimu?" Janet only saw the figure of an oriental man just now, but she didn't notice what he looked like. "It's not bad if it's Li Zhimu, at least he looks cute. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Li Zhimu finally came to Leila's side at this time, and when he heard that he was praised, he also showed a happy smile. "But it's better not to use cute to praise men, I prefer to be called cool, handsome, or sexy or something. ”
Janet only thought he was joking, and smiled happily: "Okay, cool gentleman Mr. Li Zhimu, welcome to become Leila's new boyfriend." ”
"......" Leila felt that she hadn't lifted the table at this time, which was really a sign of self-control. What should I do if I meet such an unreliable mother? What is it like, a new boyfriend?
"Don't make a fuss, Mom, I'm taking Mr. Li to talk to you about things. "She's so glad Roy wasn't here, and she didn't hear her, otherwise it would have been a headache for her.
Janet said "Huh", looked at Li Zhimu, and then at her daughter: "Not a new boyfriend?"
"No!" Lyra's anger almost erupted.
Li Zhimu was originally a little embarrassed by Janet's words, and when he saw that Leila's voice changed when he was so angry, he couldn't help but snicker next to him. He also thought that this great director had always been so calm and light-hearted, but he didn't expect that she also had people she couldn't deal with.
"Actually, that's true. He simply repeated what he had just said to Lyra. Originally, he didn't know what attention she was calling, but when he saw Janet's story, he guessed a clue.
Who is Janet? It is one of the most famous figures in the American and even world fashion industry, and the brand she created has long since become one of the favorite brands of high society and Hollywood actresses.
Her talent is undeniable, and her taste and fashion sense are even more amazing. Every year at Fashion Week, she always brings an unexpected wave to the fashion industry. This is the most incredible point for fashionistas, as if what she likes will be popular next.
So much so that there is a very respected fashion guru who once said that she is not at the forefront of fashion, but she creates fashion. When she shows up at Fashion Week with a new creation, her designs become fashionable!
Li Zhimu felt that Laila should have brought her over to make embroidery appear on Janet's work. Through her designs, the craft of embroidery is carried forward.
He was right, Leila did have the idea.
In her heart, embroidery needs to be promoted, but the Xuanji embroidery workshop must also be publicized.
They do not conflict in propaganda, not only do they not conflict, but they complement each other. The current society is a brand-playing society, and you can make more money with a brand, that's for sure.
The embroidery that Leila wants to promote must refer to hand embroidery, and there is basically no comparison between mechanical embroidery and handwork. Therefore, in mass production, hand embroidery or Xuanji embroidery workshop can not do it.
Since it can't be done, and it's hard to scale, you have to look at some of the more high-end places, such as Janet's clothes.
After listening to Li Zhimu's words, Janet also understood: "I've been thinking about this question recently. She found a few of the tall designs on the side: "This is what I designed in the past few days, you can take a look." ”
