Chapter 107: Victoria's Secret Show
"Hi Anna. Sid smiled and greeted the female devil who was sitting in the center of the left side of the catwalk, in the best position.
"Oh, Sid, you're here. Anna Wintour smiled rarely.
"Lady Demon Dragon personally summoned, how dare I not come. Sid chuckled, and sat down next to Anna Wintour.
A few people in the fashion circle next to him almost popped out when they saw Sid call Anna Wintour to his face. As long as you are in the fashion circle, who doesn't know Anna Wintour's "notoriety", but no one has ever dared to say it to your face!
What's more, when the daughter of a senior Vogue editor came to the newsroom, when she saw Anna Wintour wrestling on the floor in the hallway, she immediately remembered what her mother had told her, "Never", and immediately walked quickly but carefully past Anna Wintour, who had fallen.
Her mother immediately complimented, "You have done the right thing, remember, and must not say anything that will embarrass Lady Wintour." β
And Sid not only did it, but also in front of her, how could this not make a group of fashionistas stunned. But Sid sat next to Anna, but the "Magic Dragon Lady" didn't show the slightest, and Anna Wintour, who was wearing sunglasses indoors, glanced at Lauren, who was also stunned next to her, and waved her hand: "It's nothing to do now." β
"Oh, oh, okay. Lauren immediately nodded and sat down in the row behind Sid and the others.
"So, I heard that you guys are doing a good job in Cannes?" After sitting down, Anna spoke first, at the Cannes Film Festival, Victoria's Secret's haute couture lingerie show had already spread all over the fashion circle, and of course she knew about it.
"It's all thanks to Mark (Lee) and Janina, I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper. Sid smiled, "Thank you, Anna." β
"It's nothing, it's just a good job. Anna Wintour nodded faintly, there were some things she didn't like to talk about in public.
Sid knew what she meant, and quickly changed the subject to some innocuous small talk.
After a while, the seats on both sides were full of guests, and the lights on the scene gradually dimmed, Sid and others knew that today's show was finally about to begin.
Sid looked at the starting point of the catwalk with an interesting look, and then the music played, and in the sound of majestic music, a tall and slender woman walked out.
It's Gisele Bundchen!
I saw that she was wearing a set of white-based, gold-red embellished bras, and on her head, she also wore a crown of lilac crystals, which was specially handmade by Schlossashi, who had just cooperated with Victoria's Secret this year.
This is Queen Victoria's main show dress, as a pseudo-British brand Victoria's Secret, there was also a black history of camouflage "London headquarters" on the product catalog.
Therefore, for establishing the tone of England as king, it is definitely the first thing for Victoria's Secret. Any brand must have its own unique brand image, and Victoria's Secret is not a British company after all, but a North American company that is "rude" in the eyes of the European fashion circle.
So, at the first fashion show, Sid set the British era at the beginning as the first theme of the first big show.
And Gisele Bundchen was hand-picked by Sid as the opening model.
Sid knows that if Victoria's Secret wants to truly become a high-end underwear company, then there must be no sloppiness. Although in "history", among the dozen models signed by Victoria's Secret now, there is Tyra Banks, who was later called the "mother of supermodels", and Heidi Klum, a commercial supermodel from Germany.
But in reality, even now, the center of the world's fashion scene is Europe, not North America.
Although New York is also known as the fashion capital like Paris, North America also has a female devil Anna Wintour who can stand alongside the fashion emperor Carl Graffy. However, the new continent of the United States has always been regarded as a "wild land" by the European high-end circles.
Tyra Banks is actually the loser who was forced to retreat back to North America after losing the competition with the black pearl of the first generation's top five supermodels, Naomi Campbell.
As for Heidi Klum, in a North American media interview a few years ago, she was directly said by Karl Graffy of Galeries Lafayette: "Who is Heidi Krum? "The face of the pestle is dull.
And both of them are Germans.
That's why Sid insisted on using Gisele Bundchen, who is now in Europe and North America, high-end and commercial, to make his debut!
And Giselle's stunning show dress immediately attracted a burst of cheers from everyone, and even Xiao Lizi, who was not in a good mood, stood up and applauded.
The next show costumes, from the Red Guard, to the English gentleman, from English football, to the racing car uniforms, a set of creative show clothes, strolled on the wide catwalk on the models and showed off.
Even the well-informed Anna Wintour can't help but look sideways, this style is completely different from the previous lingerie shows, the theme and creativity can't help but make Anna Wintour sneering that no one in her editor has come up with such a creative idea.
Today's big show, because of the lack of preparation time, actually only has four themes and more than twenty minutes. And then there's another surprise!
Just after the first British era theme ended, Anna Wintour couldn't help but turn her head to Sid, "You're really a surprise to me, boy." β
The reason why Anna Wintour came to the Victoria's Secret show this time was because Sid personally called her to invite her, and Sid also said confidently on the phone: "This show will definitely not make you regret it, I promise it in my own name." β
It was precisely because of Sid's personal assurance that Anna Wintour came curiously, and the actual effect today did not disappoint.
"I'm just giving the right things to the right people. Sid smiled and spread his hands.
After a few moments, the lights came back on, and in the dim stage lights, a band stood at the bottom of the runway, and many people were already recognizing the comerβ"Linkin Park!"
Yes, it's no one else, the first to perform on stage was the first to debut at the beginning of the year, and in less than a year, their debut album "Hybrid Theory" has sold more than 20 million copies.
Such a "terrifying" debut result, of course, caused a shock in the entire music industry and European and American society, although Victoria's Secret has already set the link of music guests, but for these celebrity audiences at the scene, this is definitely the first time.
