Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Queen Wears Prada
After a brief interview with the media, the Beckhams walked to the show hall, when there were not many people in the show, and there were many people sitting scattered on the chairs around the catwalk, and there was still some time before the catwalk began. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"David (Beckham), look there!" The sharp-eyed Victoria suddenly saw that in the front row on the left side of the catwalk, there was a middle-aged lady with short and orange blond hair sitting there.
When the people around her passed her, they all took a detour as if they were afraid of alarming her.
"Hello, Miss Wintour, it's a pleasure to meet you. Victoria, who was cold and glamorous to the outside, greeted the lady in sunglasses with a little caution.
"Well, oh, you're ...... Victoria?...... and David Beckham. Anna Wintour was a little surprised, but she quickly recognized the comer.
"Yes, I'm Victoria. Victoria happily took her husband and sat down, and spoke eagerly with Anna Wintour.
Anna Wintour, the famous fashion witch, is the queen of power who can turn the entire fashion world by herself. Although the public is familiar with her, it is still after the "historical" Hollywood blockbuster "The Queen Wears Prada" swept the world.
But for the fashion industry, she has been a well-known figure since the late 80s. Or rather, notoriety!
"Hello, you seem to be sitting in my place. As Victoria was eagerly communicating with Anna Wintour, a voice interjected.
Victoria looked up impatiently, but she saw an unexpected figure.
"Sid!?" Victoria jumped in surprise, and Beckham stood up with a smile.
"Why don't you contact us when you come to Paris?" Victoria's smiling appearance made several female assistants sitting behind them secretly dumbfounded, Victoria in front of the media has always been the appearance of an iceberg beauty.
"Hi Victoria, David. Sid smiled and hugged Victoria and Beckham, then turned to look at the female demon sitting in front of him, "It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Lady Wintour." ”
Anna Wintour took off her sunglasses and said with a smile, "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Leon. ”
"Just call me Sid. Sid smiled and held out his hand.
Anna Wintour also held out her hand, "Then you can call me Anna too." ”
This couldn't help but make several female assistants of Anna Wintour, who were sitting in the back row of them, secretly dumbfounded, such a kind female devil is absolutely rare, there is wood.
"Sid, sit here. Victoria took the initiative to give up the position she had just taken.
"Thank you. Sid thanked him and sat down.
Between the few people, Victoria was asked by Sid to pay more attention to the design, and Anna Wintour couldn't help but welcome him. And Anna Wintour admired Sid even more on the first day in North America, and for a while, the scene was extremely harmonious.
And as time went on, the runway was already full, and the D&G fashion show was about to open.
"Sid, seriously, I really want you to come to Vogue for a cover photoshoot. "Anna Wintour is trying to invite Sid to be a guest model in her magazine.
"Me?" Sid sneered at himself, "I'm a director, not a movie star, so how can I shoot the cover of a fashion magazine." ”
"I don't like to hear what you say. Anna Wintour deliberately frowned and said with a smile: "You are more popular than most movie stars." ”
Just as Sid and the others were laughing, a young voice suddenly interrupted them: "Boy, how dare you do my place!"
Everyone looked up, only to see a young man with short brown hair and a round face standing in front of everyone, and next to him was a tall blonde girl, who knew that it was a model at a glance, and the young man looked at Sid with a somewhat arrogant attitude, and what he said just now was what he said.
Sid couldn't help frowning slightly, two lives, Sid doesn't like to bully people with power, so he never does it. Of course, he doesn't like to be treated like this.
"Manners-maketh-the-man. Sid said an Old English proverb coldly.
On the other side was obviously a young man from France, who obviously didn't know what Sid was talking about, and Anna Wintour, who was originally an Englishman, was bright and looked at Sid in surprise.
"Do you know what that means?" Sid looked across with piercing eyes, and the young man felt that although he was standing, he felt a feeling of being looked down on, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But in such a public social situation, he didn't dare to have a casual attack, "Hmph, boy, I remember you." After a cruel remark, the young man with brown hair and round face turned around and left with the female model next to him.
"Wow, do you know who that is?" said a senior Vogue editor sitting across from Anna Wintour, looking at Sid with a somewhat pale face.
"Oh, who is it?" said Sid, shrugging lightly.
Anna Wintour sighed slightly, "That's the eldest son of the owner of LVMH, Anthony Arnott. ”
"LVMH?" asked Sid, confused.
Anna Wintour patiently explains: "LVMH is the abbreviation of Louis Vuitton-Moët & Chandon, and Hennessy. They are the largest luxury jewelry group in France, and LV, Dior, Givenchy, Marc Jacob, etc., are all brands under it. ”
"Oh~~, it's so powerful, it's so good. Sid laughed instead.
"Wonderful?" Anna Wintour looked at him suspiciously.
"Because I never bullied the weak. Sid smiled slightly, a domineering smile.
"Hehe, you're really an unusual young man. Anna Wintour said with an appreciative smile.
Sid shrugged disapprovingly, and the runway lights came on.
"Here we go. Victoria turned her head and said.
Although Paris Fashion Week lasted for two months, each fashion show lasted only 20 minutes, so before Sid had time to reminisce, the D&G show was over.
"Sid, how do you feel?" Anna Wintour looked back at Sid after discussing it with the editor.
"Yes. Sid thought for a moment, "It's much prettier than I thought." ”
As the world's top Paris Fashion Week, every show here has been carefully designed, although in Sid's eyes, the style of the show in '99 is really a bit monotonous, but Sid will definitely not say it so emotionally.
"But. Side paused, which made Anna Wintour and the others look at him curiously, "I think those models are a little ...... It's so boring. ”
"Bored?" asked Victoria, confused.
"Uh-huh. Sid nodded, then smiled, "They're all too thin. There is no life and vitality, and at the same time the clothes are also tarnished. ”
Sid's words made Anna Wintour raise her eyebrows in surprise again, "Wow, Sid, you really surprised me a lot!"
Although the skinny models that swept the 80s and 90s still dominated the runway, the voice of the call for natural and healthy models has begun to show signs in the fashion industry, and Anna Wintour, who is at the center of it all, is naturally aware of this change in the direction of the wind.
"Really?" Sid smiled and shrugged.
――――――――――――――――――――
"Then it's decided, when I go back to North America, I must come to Vogue once. I'll leave you an issue cover. Anna Wintour patted Sid on the shoulder and smiled.
"OK, as long as I'm done with the Harry Potter movies, I'll come to New York. Sid replied with a slight smile.
Sid and Anna Wintour and her entourage came to D&G's post-show party after the D&G show show, and Anna Wintour repeatedly told Sid to say before going to be interviewed by reporters, and then she walked to the media wall with her senior editor to be interviewed by the media.
At this time, one of the assistants who followed them frequently turned his head, which couldn't help but attract Sid's attention, he turned his head and smiled and raised his eyebrows, and asked with his eyes.
It was a working girl in her early twenties, although her appearance was ordinary, but with a unique intellectual temperament, she couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw Sid's eyes, and then walked over quickly.
"Mr. Leon. She said hesitantly.
"Are you?" asked Sid.
"I'm Anna [Wintour] assistant and my name is Lauren Weisberg. The name was faintly familiar to Sid.
"So?" Sid asked with a curious smile.
"Hello, it's presumptuous, but I don't know if you have time, I, I wrote a novel, so ......" The blonde working girl said to Sid in some incoherent words.
“OK。 Sid raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"Huh?" Lauren Weisberg didn't expect to get Sid's consent so easily.
"You want me to read your novels, yes. Sid finally remembered what the name "Lauren Weisberg" meant.
"Really, really!?" asked Lauren Weisberg, excited and surprised.
"Of course. Sid smiled and nodded.
Then he saw Lauren Weisberg "brushing" and digging out a book manuscript from his handbag, and Sid was surprised by the proficiency of this action.
“OK。 Sid took it and looked at it, and the title of the book "Queen Wears Prada" was printed on the cover of the book!
