"Ah," Sophie was no less surprised than netizens - although she didn't know what was going on the show right now, and she had no idea how many people watched it online, but the reason for her surprise at the moment was the same as most people's, "this series...... It's too normal, isn't it? ”

The first collection is not suitable for commercialization, so it does not adopt the see and buy model, which is the conclusion that everyone can draw, and Sophie is as always fascinated by the avant-garde elements and playfulness contained in this collection, conflict, chaos, and fusion, which has always been the characteristic of Joe as a designer, and it is also the core of all her designs - a designer's preferences can change dramatically, and the main elements of each season seem to be irrelevant, this season has narrow legs, and the next season plays sack style, but the core temperament of the design is difficult to change. The collision between male and female is not achieved through the neutral model, to blur the line, but to create a chemical reaction between the extreme masculinity of the male and the extreme femininity of the female, and the result is also beautiful, which fully reflects the designer's ability - from the perspective of the magazine editor, such a strong concept is also suitable for blockbuster shooting, she has already imagined a few good photo compositions in her head, and is sure that this idea will resonate with a good photographer. And the East Asian elements that run through it are also a good gimmick, although she herself prefers the two outfits in the Roman style, but this is full of exotic feelings, and of course it can attract the attention of the audience more.

If she hadn't become a fan, the show would have made her fall in love with [Yun] again, Sophie couldn't wait to invite Qiao Yun to Paris for the show, she had too many friends to introduce Qiao Yun to, and some of them would definitely bring opportunities for the brand - she was also curious about how the second collection would stand out, so much so that even Haute Couture couldn't do it. Adhering to the style continuation of the first series, she even thought that Joe might launch an underwear show, after all, her fascination and love for Qin's body has been fully revealed through the first series.

——A series full of emotions can be felt, the tone of the design, the mood of the designer, can be expressed through the lines and tones of the clothing, through the lighting and atmosphere of the show, and Joe's feelings when designing this series do make it more suitable to become a secondary line rather than the main line, although it is also full of conflict and chaos, but, the central idea of the main line seems to be more in the expression of serious thinking, more attention to self-discovery, and [Qin Yun] is full of pure emotion, it can be seenUnder the influence of this most wonderful chemical, the crystallization of creation may not be the sharpest, but it must be the most romantic, the most infectious, and the most passionate and talented. Stimulated by this, the original barriers will be broken - if this is not in the conservative continent, but in France, the next moment a group of male models wearing T-line and C-line pants will come out of the catwalk, Sophie would not be surprised.

But...... There is no expected sword to go off the rails, there is no speculation that has almost been taken seriously, the second series ...... It's surprising that it's all right. Trench coats, skinny pants, suits, coats, all of them are classic designs - not that they are not good-looking, the design is still very good, you can see at a glance, the workmanship is excellent, the silhouette is simple and classic, the practicality is strong and there is no lack of scheming, which fully demonstrates the designer's mature commercialization skills, and the previous series is different, this series is very able to arouse the purchase of * style, even if it is placed directly in the store, I believe it is not worried about the market-

Strange, isn't this the point where it is not marketable, but it is not commercial?

Like the first series, Joe still likes to play with contrasts, conflicts and echoes, the first series is much more revealing, makeup and hair are very abstinent, this series is tightly dressed, but the hair is messy, the model's face is flushed, and the eyes are a little blurred, a little drunk. With a neat lapel coat and a three-piece suit, there is a vague feeling. The sense of color is still revealed. ——Although I have thought many times about what the effect of [Yun]'s famous armor-style coat would be if it was men's clothing, [Qin Yun] did not follow this iconic design, but used the stability of peacock blue dark tweed, but it still implemented Joe's usual preference in the lines - emphasizing the waist and paying attention to the beauty of the lines. As a polo coat, the waistline of this series is more obvious, and the pockets are different from the classic polo coats, with side pockets designed, and the collar is upright.

The workmanship is still impeccable, you can score it well with a sweep, and the folding design of the cuffs has also made small changes, narrower, more improved than the style that was popular in the 60s of the last century, not so rough, and has some delicacy of urban flowers. But in terms of design, it only stops there, unlike the exaggeration of every runway show of [rhyme], the practicality of this dress is almost too strong, and it has lost the vanguard meaning of the general big-name show to lead the fashion, more like haute couture, the scale is almost conservative, only focusing on simple pleasing to the eye, exquisite, and maybe more practical when wearing.

If this was a show at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, this small innovation of craftsmanship and discretion would certainly make Sophie nod her head in appreciation, but the brand's abandonment of its commercial positioning is incompatible with the temperament of the collection, which makes her puzzled. - The coat is followed by the trench coat, which is also a small bout, the silver-blue option is quite rare, the combination of stilt pants brogues is also eye-catching, and then there are multi-bag parka trench coats and turtlenecks...... It's hard to say what intrinsic connections and themes these series have, if anything, it's that each item is very wearable, especially the coat, as many pockets as possible, practical pockets, and the elbow seems to have a wear-resistant treatment, and the sweater is also an intimate high-neck design, not a thick woolen round neck, V-neck, which is difficult to grasp the style of the wearing occasion, and the clothing seems to have retreated from the props that express the designer's thoughts to a more primitive wearing attribute.

"It's becoming more and more like an exhibition of all the pieces of the season, and it's closer to a trade fair-type fashion show...... But not intended to be commercialized? ”

It's not that I haven't seen the costume show that I am confused from beginning to end, in addition to the consistent and stable design level, even if the designer is changed, there are major personnel changes, and the big brands that can do a good job in the costumes, many second-tier brands, especially the designer brands that have not been able to gain a foothold for a long time, have had rough clothing details caused by insufficient preparation time, inspiration from the designer's lack of inspiration, and the tragedy of the presentation effect caused by the lack of basic skills, and of course, the pioneer design with too much confidence, In the end, everyone can't get the embarrassment, and sometimes there will be a situation where the masterpiece can't be appreciated and can't find the resonance point. However, Sophie still can't decipher Joe's design intent for the first time, the clothes are all good, at least in terms of visual effects should be more acceptable than the first series, many wandering audiences in the show, the first series obviously only hung a polite and confused smile, to the second series, you can appreciate it, and quickly nodded frequently, showing a focused demeanor. - But the professional Sophie became more and more confused the more she looked, and she still couldn't figure out why she saw the T-shirt from the coat and sweater.

"Pay more attention to practicality, because this is a daily model designed for boyfriends? So give up the artistry, be more considerate in the details, and have a more customized spirit? Of course, it's clothes designed for her lover, so she plays very well, and every piece is pleasing to the eye, but that doesn't explain why it's not commercialized - in terms of live streaming, this is exactly the best advertisement, and this kind of show is the kind that makes people want to buy clothes...... Why not do it and see it now? Could it be that there has been no research on the menswear market in China, so it is difficult to determine the first batch of goods? ”

Before you know it, a whole series has gone through the whole process, the models are pouring out, the contrast between the two collections is stark, and a new round of snickering is not too different from the show in Paris - about 90% of the guests do not have the ability to appreciate the costume design, the only difference is that everyone in Paris tries to pretend that they can see through the mysteries, while the Beijing audience has a lot of honesty about their ignorance of art appreciation. Joe's first round of design may have been enough to elicit emotions for most of the audience, but they still haven't learned to properly handle the emotional turmoil that comes with viewing a work of art.

However, most of the guests still had basic literacy, and the less polite laughter lasted for a short time, and with the second series reappearing, the applause became more enthusiastic, and some even began to whistle, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more like a big party, and everyone was clearly looking forward to the designer's appearance, speculating whether she would bring her boyfriend to show up - alas, if only people were half as enthusiastic about the clothes as they are about the stars......

Having said that, when the matching pair with a smile on their faces, they came out of the exit to nod to everyone, and walked side by side in laughter, Qin naturally took Joe into her arms, she couldn't help but smile and slapped her face: It's very cliché, but people always love reunions, and Sophie is no exception, she also feels very novel to see the results of the sad breakup between the artist and the muse, and to see a healthy and normal artist couple.

"Sophie, what do you think the second series is expressing?" After the show, the scene was a little chaotic, Lana came over to chat with her, she was a little impatient, and she could see that she was also confused. "I feel like these are two sets that correspond to each other – the first collection expresses the designer's fanatical, primal love for the muse, meat. The second series expresses the wife's love for her husband, rational and warm, careful, realistic and considerate, this love is reflected through a small intimate modification in the details, it is the love of civilization and the soul, and it expresses their communication at the soul level - she knows him so well, so she can design the most suitable clothes for him, is this what it means? ”

"That makes sense," Lana's statement gave her a lot of inspiration, Sophie's eyes lit up, and the look in her eyes was different than before, "The costume Qin is wearing is also designed by Joe, right?" The polo shirt really flattered him, and flowers bloomed on the tips of his bloody fingers - and the design of this pattern was just as full of love. ”

"yes, did you notice Joe's shirt? After so many shows, her white shirt finally changed, and a small flower embroidered on the neckline was the same as the menswear pattern, and the theme of the collection should be simply 'love' - she really should start revealing the theme of her designs, otherwise the editors will face a problem. ”

"But I don't understand why this collection isn't open to see and buy now, I mean, there are so many designs here that are going to get a lot of buzz in the market, like the trench coat."

"Yes, yes, and that sweater, her grasp of the waistline is the biggest feature."

"Yes! I really like her choice of color, Qin Wei is suitable for wearing blue, his skin tone is light wheat, blue tones are too good for brightening his complexion, he is radiant tonight. And the peacock blue coat, which I think is going to do really well in the market – I think Chris would look great if he wore it on the cover of the March issue. ”

The two editors chatted more and more speculatively, agreeing that while it wasn't a thought-provoking art show, it was also romantic and sincere, and it was one of the most powerful shows of the year. The only doubt is also common - why give up so many works with market potential?

"Let's go, let's go ask Joe directly." If you don't understand, you ask, Sophie brings champagne and simply pulls Lana directly to the designer - the backstage is now in chaos, the models appear one after another after changing their clothes, the staff flash from time to time, pull the clothing cart away, push the food cart in, itgirl and Chinese stars are hanging around, and you can see group photographers everywhere, which is the most familiar atmosphere at the beginning of the afterparty.

Qin was pulled by many people in front of the background wall to take turns to take a group photo, and he also cooperated with a professional smile to be satisfied, Sophie greeted him from afar - she has always admired Qin's temperament, but she doesn't know much about his popularity in China, of course she has seen his "Six Central Flowers", a very good work, but unfortunately as an actor, his role is not enough, although it has attracted a certain amount of attention, but of course it is not qualified to appear on the cover of "Voyage" Paris......

"Ah, she's there." Lana had sharp eyes and pulled her to the neighborhood, only to find that Joe was not chatting with a friend, but was being interviewed accompanied by a senior executive, she was smiling and seemed to be in a very happy mood. "Ah, they're talking about this — I'll translate for you, and it's like an entertainment news reporter across from you...... They agree on the reason why the first collection cannot be commercialized, which is a contradiction between art and marketability, and Joe is saying that the social role constraints of men are actually more rigorous than women's, so men's clothing has a smaller scale than women's clothing. ”

"Of course." Sophie also recognized it, she raised her glass to Qiao Yun, the two greeted each other with their eyes, and waited a little impatiently for Lana's translation, "And then, about the reason why the second series is not commercialized-"

"Hmm, I'm listening." Of course, auditing the interview is not a corner, Lana listened to it brightly and seriously, Joe pointed at what the reporter said, and the two seemed to be chatting very speculatively, "She asked the reporter if the other party liked the second series, and the other party said that she liked it very much, and it was thought that Qin Wei would look good in it. Joe was very happy, saying that it was for Qin Wei to design this series, and when designing it, she was imagining how handsome he would be wearing, and she asked the other party how the effect was, and the reporter said that she liked it very much-uh. ”

The conversation on the other side was obviously meaningful, as Joe paused and suddenly revealed a real smile, which was like a flower blooming on her face, lighting up her eyebrows and eyes, making her look so tender, happy, and proud—but Lana's translation suddenly came to an impasse, which made Sophie's curiosity even more impatient, and she almost complained to Lana, "Hurry up, how did she answer?" ”

"Hmm......" Lana seemed to be a little slow to react, and she elongated her voice, as if choosing words, "this...... Joe said...... It was precisely because she already had the appearance of Qin wearing these clothes in her mind, which was designed for him alone, so she couldn't accept the picture of others wearing this series, [Qin Yun] was a brand designed for Qin Wei...... This series of clothes is not considered for mass production, because ......"

"It's because of these designs, she just wants Qin Wei to wear them alone......" 166 Reading Network
