Chapter 1095 - The Food Chain of the Fashion Circle

After Giselle said this, he beckoned his makeup artist to come over again, and had no intention of continuing to bargain with Tom Correy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the girl in front of him as if he had eaten himself, Tom Corey felt a fire in his heart. Glancing around, the other models who were applying makeup seemed to be doing business as usual on the surface, as if they didn't notice his embarrassment at all, but Tom Corey could clearly feel a sense of schadenfreude throughout the tent.

Tom Corey suddenly feels a little nostalgic for ten years ago, even if it was five years ago.

At that time, the executives of these well-known brands were definitely at the top of the food chain of the entire fashion circle, even the top supermodels, they did not dare to behave so arrogantly in front of them, and those models who were not famous enough were just prey in the eyes of these people.

In just a few years, everything has changed.

The emergence of the Victoria's Secret show has made the concept of supermodel deeply rooted in the hearts of the public.

While the personal income of top supermodels has increased significantly, the status and social influence of this group in the fashion industry have also increased, and their reliance on traditional channels of fame such as magazine covers and brand catwalks is no longer so strong. Even, the situation has been reversed, fashion magazines need supermodels to log on covers to increase sales, and brand catwalks can't do without supermodels to gather popularity.

Although there are many media and celebrities in the fashion circle who often criticize the Victoria's Secret show for not having a high style, because of Eric's strict control of the selection criteria of Victoria's Secret Angel, no one can deny that every angel in the Victoria's Secret Army deserves the title of 'supermodel', coupled with extensive social popularity, even if the style of luxury brands is high, it is impossible to ignore the existence of Victoria's Secret Angel.

Even, if a high street brand doesn't even have a supermodel on the catwalk, it will be questioned by the decline in popularity.

As for how to be considered a supermodel, five years ago, you could have won the title through repeated promotion and hype in the fashion media. But now, if a model can't appear on the catwalk of Victoria's Secret's show, she can't be considered a supermodel, and forcibly self-styled will only laugh and be generous. In recent years, not only the general public, but also the fashion media have gradually recognized this criterion.

The scene was deadlocked for a moment, Giselle was resolute and Tom Corey had to compromise and hurriedly leave the show tent and go to a café across from Bryant Park.

A man and two women who had been waiting in the café saw Tom Corey appear and stood up together.

The man in his fifties, with unkempt curly hair and sunglasses, was Paul Rowland, the founder and president of a women's management company.

One of the two women was obviously an ordinary looking assistant, while the other was a tall woman with a petite face, thin lips, and a smile at the corners of her mouth.

Because it was in the heated room, the girl did not wear a jacket, and the close-fitting black cardigan and white high-waisted trousers showed her perfect body proportions vividly, even if he was used to seeing beautiful women, Tom Corey couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for this model named Carmen Keys.

Targeted by Gisele Bundchen, this girl will never want to stand out in the fashion circle, because with the support of Eric Williams behind her, the Brazilian girl and the circle she established are simply a group of greedy little she-wolves, not to mention the three spokesperson spots that were just vacated by the Victoria's Secret Army last year, and the entire modeling circle has snatched the head for this, but now two of them have fallen to Giselle and her other best friend Qusi Gauff, although the last one is to be determined, but the result is difficult to predict.

Noticing Tom Corry's expression when he swept Carmen Keys, Paul Rowland felt a little bad, he took off his sunglasses, shook Tom Corry's hand, invited him to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask, "Tom, how did it turn out?" ”

Tom Corey shook his head at the waiter who walked by, obviously not intending to stay for coffee, and said, "I'm sorry, Paul, I did my best." ”

Paul Rolland suddenly showed an extremely disappointed expression on his face, and it was not just for the brand that he had just lost, Carmen Cays had already lost most of the catwalk this fashion week. He just wanted to push Carmen Cayce to the CK closing show to see if he could find a chance to reconcile with Gisele Bundchen.

But now, the other side clearly does not have any intention of conciliating.

Tom Corey saw that Paul Rowland was speechless for a while, and glanced at Carmen Cays opposite, then got up and said, "That's it, Paul, the catwalk is about to start, I'm still busy, I'll go back first." ”

Paul Rowland hurriedly got up again and sent Tom Corey out of the café, and they didn't go back, looking at Carmen Keyes behind him who was looking at him with a pitiful expression, Paul Rowland sighed in his heart.

The original pillar of WM was Kate Moss, but in recent years, Kate Moss's sick beauty model suddenly lost the favor of the fashion circle completely, WM could only be regarded as a second-tier model agency, Kate Moss's popularity declined, and the company's influence began to plummet.

In an effort to turn things around, Paul Rolland dug up the Estonian girl last year and helped her win the title of 'Model of the Year' in a VH1 Model of the Year contest in an attempt to make her the new pillar of WM.

It's just that, because of some small mistakes in the promotion strategy, well, definitely a big mistake, the company compared her with Gisele Bundchen, who has been in the limelight in the last two years, in a fashion magazine press release, originally just to rub off on the other party's popularity, of course, it would be better if Gisele Bundchen could be stepped on.

After all, Carmen Cays has a figure that does not belong to Gisele Bundchen in the slightest, but her face is much more beautiful than the other party.

However, the wish is good, and the reality is that Paul Loren still finds himself far underestimating the energy of Gisele Bundchen, or rather, the extent to which Eric Williams dotes on the Brazilian girl.

Paul Rowland is naturally aware of the relationship between Gisele Bundchen and Eric Williams.

Right now.

I had to give up Carmen Keys.

Paul Rowland doesn't think he's qualified to compete with Eric Williams.

There was silence for a moment before Paul Rowland said to Carmen Keys: "This way, Carmen, you have a rest for a while, and Europe will not have to go." ”

Carmen Kaith, who was still looking forward to it, shook her body and almost fell to the ground, she couldn't help but take a step forward and begged: "Paul, that opening of Burberry, they haven't said they want to replace me yet?" ”

"I'll help you get rid of it, and I'll talk about it when this season's fashion week is over," Paul Rolland took out his sunglasses from his suit pocket and put them on, no longer looking at Carmen Keys's expression, and said to the female assistant behind her, "Camilla, you can send Carmen back first." ”

"Okay, Mr. Roland," the assistant named Camilla nodded, and watched Paul Loren get into her car and leave, before she pulled Carmen Keys, who was a little lost, "Carmen, let's go back first." ”

Carmen Keith was dragged by the assistant into a Chrysler on the side of the road, and when the door closed, the girl couldn't hold back any longer, shrunk into the seat and covered her face and cried loudly: "How can she bully people like this, how can she bully people like this, how can she bully people like this, @¥%%%%¥##*&%. ”

Camilla listened to the crying in the back seat, and the girl's then mixed in Estonian that she didn't understand at all, and just started the car silently.

She has been in the industry for a long time, and she has become accustomed to this kind of mutual tilting between models, even within a small WM company, there is all kinds of competition, not to mention the entire industry. If a model who has become famous does not want to find ways to suppress newcomers who may threaten their status, that is not normal.

But come to think of it, that Gisele Bundchen was really lucky to be able to climb Eric Williams.

You must know that Carmen Keys, a girl who can only be regarded as a 'newcomer' in front of her, is actually two years older than the other party, but Gisele Bundchen has been famous for three years.

In this way, there is a five-year gap between the two, and in the fashion industry, five years is almost the replacement of a whole generation of models.

As the car moved forward, the girl in the back row went from crying to sobbing, and from sobbing to silence.

When Camilla pulled over her car outside an apartment in Greenwich Village, Carmen Cayce seemed to have fully recovered, and her expression was less depressed than just now, but a little more determined.

As soon as the car was stable, Carmen Kath said, "Camilla, can you do me a favor?" ”

Camila sensed that something was wrong with the mood of the girl behind her, and persuaded, "Carmen, I think you'd better go back and get some sleep first." ”

As if she hadn't heard the advice, Carmen Cays continued: "Help me find a gossip reporter, you should be able to find ......"

Camilla faintly realized something, and hurriedly said, "Carmen, you'd better not do this, Mr. Roland's side." ”

"You know," Carmen Keys's tone suddenly became a little sharper as if she was on the verge of collapse, and her slender body leaned forward slightly, "I'm paying your salary!" ”

The girl's sudden outburst startled Camilla, and she hesitated before she nodded and said, "Okay, but you'd better know what you're doing." ”

"Ha, what else can I do," the smile that was always on the corner of the girl's mouth suddenly became obvious, as if she was laughing, but a big tear rolled down the corner of her eye: "What else can I do in the future?!" ”

She has been the most beautiful and proud of the girls around her since she was a child, unwilling to stay in an obscure town for a lifetime of mediocrity, left Estonia alone at the age of fourteen, and stayed up for six years, at the age of twenty, she finally saw a glimmer of success, and then that little ambition and expectation was trampled on in a blink of an eye.

Paul Rowland's words and attitude just now are very obvious, and she is now equivalent to being abandoned by WM.

So what else could she do?

Or, what is there to lose?

In a bar in Greenwich Village, the girl sitting near the floor-to-ceiling window looks out the window at the neon lights of the street, and she seems to hear the music of the show in Bryant Park far away.

This can only be an illusion naturally.

Perhaps, he will soon be leaving this place.

Camila walked in with a thin-faced white man in his thirties, and only gestured at her, but did not come with the man.

Seeing the girl in front of him wearing brown sunglasses covering most of her face, the man smiled politely and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Miss Kath." ”

Carmen Kath was a little surprised, and glanced at Camilla who was leaving, and she specifically told the other party not to reveal her identity.

However, after only a brief gaffe, Carmen Cays showed an indifferent expression again, did not shake hands with the man, and after sitting down, said, "I need you to help me shoot with someone." ”

"Of course, it's my job, Miss Keith," the man didn't care about Carmen Kaith's coldness, and instead deliberately called out the other person's name with a hint of banter in his tone.

Of course, Camilla didn't tell him the identity of the girl in front of him, but as an excellent paparazzi, listening to six ways is only a basic quality, and the new Victoria's Secret Angel Gisele Bundchen suppressed WM to promote newcomers, which is not even news in the circle at all.

The man could even roughly guess what Carmen Cayce was looking for him.

Carmen Keith could also feel the paparazzi's contempt for herself, she bit her lip lightly, only hesitated for a moment, then took out her satchel, took out a thick large envelope from it, and pushed it in front of the man: "Here is 50,000 dollars, you help me follow Gisele Bundchen, if I can get the information that satisfies me, I can give you again, five, no, 100,000 dollars." ”

Seeing the thick envelope in front of him, the man finally put away his contemptuous expression, and even took a small breath.

It's not that he hasn't seen $50,000, and as a professional paparazzi, he sometimes shoots some celebrity scandals, and he sells them at a high price.

What made him sigh was that the 50,000 dollars, or plus the 100,000 dollars in the future, was estimated to be all the savings of the girl in front of him. As a rookie model who has just emerged in the circle for less than half a year, she doesn't even have an endorsement on her body, even if she has some fame, it is absolutely impossible to make much money.

What a ruthless and spicy little girl.

Sighing in his heart, the man did not hesitate to put his hand in his pocket and silently pressed the tape recorder before he said, "Miss Keith, don't you know who is standing behind Giselle Bundchen?" ”
