Chapter 415: Dress
Mrs. Patti met Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan in her studio.
Madame Patti, who is famous in the fashion industry, at first glance looks not much different from ordinary old ladies on the streets of Paris. She was in her early fifties, a little thin but full of energy, wearing delicate light makeup, and looking full of taste in dressing.
But there was a keen glint in Mrs. Patty's eyes, letting people know that she was not an ordinary old lady. When she saw Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan walking in side by side, a hint of appreciation flashed on Mrs. Patty's face. From her professional point of view, the young man and woman figure ratio is almost perfect, and it is definitely a natural clothes rack.
Of course, Mrs. Patty has seen more international supermodels, and she will not look at Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan differently because they are in excellent shape.
Mrs. Patty just looked at the two of them calmly, and then raised the paper in her hand and asked, "Who drew this sketch?"
Even in the face of the legend of the fashion industry, Jiang Ping was very calm, and replied without humility or arrogance: "It's me, madam." β
Mrs. Patty nodded lightly and said, "That's a good idea, you studied fashion design?"
"I'm studying European art history at the University of Paris. Jiang Ping replied honestly, and then pointed to Lin Xiaonan next to him and said, "She studied fashion design." β
In fact, when Jiang Ping drew this sketch, he knew that Mrs. Patty would definitely see herself and Lin Xiaonan because of this picture. Because the style on this sketch is very close to a series of new fashions that Mrs. Patti launched two years later.
In the memories of Jiang Ping's previous life, that series was launched after Mrs. Patti had been dormant for many years, and it caused a great sensation at the time. Extrapolated by time. This should be a pivotal moment for Mrs. Patti in the creation of the series. At this time, she must have been very curious to see such a sketch. It makes sense to meet the author of the sketch.
Although Jiang Ping did not study fashion design. There was a little surprise to Mrs. Patty. However, after all, his major is also related to art, and it is not surprising that he can draw such sketches.
However, Lin Xiaonan actually studied fashion design, which aroused Mrs. Patty's interest. In her opinion, this beautiful girl, who was born with a clothes rack, is naturally the most suitable model to be, and she actually chose clothing design, which is a bit interesting.
So Mrs. Patty quickly turned her attention to Lin Xiaonan and began to ask her about her situation. From how long I have been studying to my current grades, I have really asked a lot of questions.
For Lin Xiaonan. Mrs. Patti is similar to her idol. Now that he can talk face-to-face with Mrs. Patty, Lin Xiaonan is also a little nervous, and he is also a little stammering when answering questions, but fortunately, he finally made things clear.
Mrs. Patti also took the initiative to look at the album that Lin Xiaonan carried with her, which were all some of her recent works. Mrs. Patti also appreciates Lin Xiaonan's works, saying that although they are still a little naΓ―ve, they can also see a lot of shining points, and I believe that as long as time passes, Lin Xiaonan's works will also be generous and brilliant.
In addition to giving a good evaluation, Mrs. Patti also gave Lin Xiaonan a little advice. It's just a point-to-point finish. But at the level of Mrs. Patty, Lin Xiaonan's help is already very great.
Started by meeting Mrs. Patti. Lin Xiaonan was a little dizzy, and had been immersed in great happiness. She never imagined that not only meeting the legendary Mrs. Patty in the fashion industry, but also getting her guidance and compliments, it was like in a dream.
In fact, Mrs. Patty has been in the fashion industry for many years, but she is not a person to deal with. The reason why she is so friendly to Lin Xiaonan is entirely for Jiang Ping's sake.
Mrs. Patti has been working on new works for a long time, but she has been plagued by problems and has not found a solution for a long time. The sketch, though rudimentary, was like a lightning bolt in the night that illuminated the earth in an instant, and Mrs. Patty saw another possibility.
Inspired by this sketch, Mrs. Patti finally saw the possibility of completing her series. In a good mood, Lin Xiaonan will be treated so preferentially.
After instructing Lin Xiaonan, Mrs. Patti looked at Jiang Ping and said unhurriedly: "You came to me, you shouldn't just want me to guide this beautiful girl, right?"
"You're right. Jiang Ping smiled at Mrs. Patty and said, "Actually, I took the liberty to visit me today, I wanted you to make a dress for each of us." β
"Make a dress?!" Mrs. Patty raised her eyebrows, looked at Jiang Ping and said, "Young man, if you know something, you should know that I won't make clothes for people casually!"
Even Lin Xiaonan was taken aback by Jiang Ping's words, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said softly: "It's good to get Madame's guidance, we still ...... Don't bother her anymore. β
Jiang Ping did not flinch because of Mrs. Patty's attitude, but said eloquently: "Madam, you don't understand the situation. There's a fashion company owner who has been courting my girlfriend lately......"
Jiang Ping explained what had happened, and at the same time did not forget to express his speculation, and finally said to Mrs. Patty: "So I want to fight for a breath, and to attend such an occasion, what is more face-saving than wearing a dress that you sewn with your own hands?"
Jiang Ping's words not only stated his reason for doing so, but also praised Mrs. Patty without a trace. After listening to Jiang Ping's words, a smile flashed on Mrs. Patty's face. However, she didn't speak, just crossed her arms and looked Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan up and down.
After a long while, Mrs. Patti said to the two of them, "It's definitely too late to start doing it now, but I have here two sets of dresses that are about to be made, the style matches your temperament, and the size is about the same as your body, just modify it slightly, and it should be in time for the party in two weeks." β
"Ah?!" Lin Xiaonan didn't react for a while, and was stunned on the spot. There were so many surprises for her today that they were beyond her capacity.
On the contrary, Jiang Ping's face was calm, as if this result had long been expected by him. In fact, it is true that Jiang Ping still knows this legend in the fashion industry very well, and knows that when she first stepped into this circle, she also suffered a lot of discrimination and exclusion.
And now the same plot is repeated in Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan, and with Mrs. Patty's temper, it is very likely that she is willing to help.
Now that you have decided to make clothes for the two of you, it is natural to measure the size next. Custom clothing is not the kind of clothes that are produced in a factory, they are all made according to a certain version, only the size is different. Ordinary people wearing that kind of factory clothing can't have the same effect as advertised.
Tailor-made clothing is tailored to the customer's figure, and the fit is of course needless to say, and experienced tailors can also make some adjustments in the cut to cover up the defects in the customer's body shape. That's why custom clothing is so popular in the world of high-end fashion.
What satisfied Mrs. Patty was that Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan both had perfect figures, which could be used as a standard for male and female body types. The two dresses she said were originally sewn according to the standard body shape, so there were not many changes that needed to be made. The only thing that needs to be overhauled is the bust of Lin Xiaonan's dress, which needs to be increased by two sizes.
Jiang Ping is very clear about this. Lin Xiaonan not only has slender legs, but also has turbulent waves on his chest. Maybe by the standard of a model, Lin Xiaonan's bust is on the large side, but from a male point of view, Lin Xiaonan's figure is definitely the best.
Even Mrs. Patty was amazed by Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan's figures, and congratulated Jiang Ping meaningfully and said that he was blessed.
After Jiang Ping's cheekiness was enough, he expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Patty for her joke. And Lin Xiaonan, who was tender-skinned, had already blushed, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ping more.
After measuring the size, Mrs. Patty told Jiang Ping to come back in a week to try on clothes. Of course, custom clothing is not so easy to make, and it is likely that it will have to be modified several times after the first fit. However, considering the time of the evening, there was not much time left for Mrs. Patty to revise.
Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan politely thanked Mrs. Patty, and then took their leave and left her residence. After coming out of Mrs. Patty's residence, Lin Xiaonan had not fully recovered from his senses, and said to Jiang Ping with a face full of surprise: "I really didn't expect to be able to meet Mrs. Patti and wear the gift she made for me, it's really like a dream!"
Jiang Ping said to Lin Xiaonan with a smile: "This is just the beginning, you will definitely become the queen of the fashion circle, and you will see more big names in the future, be calm!"
Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but ask Jiang Ping stupidly: "Can I really become a person like Mrs. Patty?"
"Don't worry, it will be!" Of course, Jiang Ping knew how to answer at this moment, and Lin Xiaonan smiled happily when he heard it.
Seeing that Jiang Ping could persuade Mrs. Patty to customize the dress for herself, Lin Xiaonan was not so worried about the party, but had more expectations.
For Jiang Ping, this is just a small episode, and the most important thing is to find a way to get the three pigments he needs. So in the next few days, in addition to accompanying Lin Xiaonan, he went to school and studied seriously every day, trying to leave a good impression on Pierre.
A few days later, Jenny called Jiang Ping and told him the good news. Jenny happily told Jiang Ping on the phone that the school had offered several more job opportunities to the student mutual aid association. Among these job opportunities, there is the one Jiang Ping wants the most, the night shift job in the storage room of the Department of Fine Arts.
After knowing the good news, Jiang Ping hurriedly rushed to the student mutual aid association to meet Jenny. (To be continued......)
