Let Paris Fashion Week do the first big four fashion weeks – is the idea appealing?

Nonsense!

Paris, New York, Milan, and London, the four major fashion weeks, should all be the dream places of designers, and they exist separately in the chain of contempt, and the relationship is subtle and clear. New York is the most commercial-but with the strong rise of the United States after the war, it has become richer and richer, and the movement has also made a big noise, and almost all of the second-tier light luxury brands that have risen after the war are of American origin, which shows the effectiveness of this business model. London is the most avant-garde, very self-congratulatory, deeply bound to St. Martin, does not care about commerciality at all, and its influence is at the bottom of the Big Four, but it is not too unconfident to have a big name like Burberry to support it. Milan Fashion Week is the most conservative, the style is always very Italian, the guiding ideology is to promote the development of Italian brands, it is difficult to smile at outsiders - but then again, Milan Fashion Week has no reason to change its course, it is precisely because of its strong impetus that brands like i and Prada can go global, and if they have been successful, why change them easily?

In contrast, Paris Fashion Week is undoubtedly the most open-minded, the most inclusive, as the world's first fashion week, and held in Paris, the world's fashion capital, Paris Fashion Monday is quite friendly to foreign designers, in addition to the rest of Europe designers designers, it has also become a holy place for Asian designers to debut in Europe and the United States. Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Kenzo Takada...... More than a decade or decades ago, with the take-off of the Japanese economy, these Japanese designers shined at Paris Fashion Week, and many of them stayed in Paris to start their own brands. To be able to replicate such a model and go to Paris to open a show, of course, this is the dream of every designer, otherwise why is Saint-Martin just across the channel, and so many people go to Paris to study design, isn't it just a building near the water?

Naturally, finding your own venue to start a show during Fashion Week and officially joining Fashion Week through official certification are two completely different ways to play. is to officially join the fashion week, what kind of treatment you can get depends on the PR operation behind the scenes. Many cutting-edge designers have shown their faces in the fashion week through a variety of ways, a very common way to play is to engage in a certain national day in fashion week - for example, China's economy has taken off in recent years, and fashion week wants to help brands develop the Chinese market, so they will have a China Day and invite the Chinese delegation to participate, and there will be major agents in the delegation to talk about the brand's agency rights in China, and some Chinese designers will be brought over to open a show on China Day as part of the event.

Although such an opportunity is not in sufficient color and not so glittering, for a long time, it is also the only way for domestic designers to go out - of course, some activities will not be so obvious, but the power to decide who to recommend to the outside world is also in the hands of the official association. The reason why Mr. Gu introduced Qiao Yun to Senior Brother Shi and promoted him to become the president of the association has this consideration, but now Qiao Yun has lost interest in this kind of show, in addition to gilding the resume, such a show does not have much effect on the development of the brand overseas.

What kind of show is really a show at Paris Fashion Week? This way Sophie mentioned is a real show at Paris Fashion Week. Before the opening, the momentum was hot, and after the opening, the comments and publicity followed, and the brand awareness could really be improved, before Qiao Yun went to New York, even if she was completing the pre-work, but at that time, there was no editor like Sophie with her, and she ran into the industry by herself, and the difficulty was not the same. - At that time, most of the parties she participated in were mainly held by itgirl, and the fashion editor was a sideways existence in it, and the higher-level characters didn't bother to attend at all, which belonged to legends, and the level was a little lo, but I could only start from this level when I touched it.

Now that Sophie has taken the initiative to invite, the situation is naturally different, "Voyage" Paris wants to promote a new designer, what kind of treatment is that? At least the cover and miscellaneous appearance opportunities are not worried. Sophie asked her to socialize in the past, not the kind of low-level routine that relied on nepotism, but to introduce her works and whimsy to the circle, and even held some small activities led by "Voyage", the purpose is to introduce the brand [Rhyme], and if the evaluation is good, maybe even be introduced to the big guy through heavy recommendations.

Those designers who shine at Fashion Week don't just go to the show to become famous, they have gone through such a busy social activity beforehand, and they can achieve a blockbuster effect by opening up all the joints of the industry. Qiao Yun was already desperate for this road, after all, she had offended all the people in her old circle in the United States, but she didn't expect that the French side didn't care at all, and still favored her. Judging from Sophie's confidence, "Voyage" Paris is trying to push her, or it is also to show the mind of Paris, showing that the Parisian fashion scene is different from New York.

This may involve the internal divisions of "Voyage", and [Rhyme] is just a chess piece for the two editors-in-chief to compete for beauty, but the benefits are real. To say that Qiao Yun is not impressed, it is a lie, in the past she would go to New York for more ethereal expectations than this, but now that the opportunity is so good, she really wants to try it. In addition to the consideration of opening the show, I want to change the environment, what is currently being done in China is not bad, but ...... Well, maybe it's because the design of the main March show has been delayed in finalization, and she is indeed a little anxious, and she really wants to go out for a walk and change her mood.

However, it will be half a year since she left, what should Qin Wei do? In the summer, the filming of "Liaoyuan" started, and they said that they would accompany him, both of them were in China, and the promises that passed from time to time were promises, and I am afraid that when she arrived in Paris, it would become a utopia. She didn't think this was a broken promise, but emotionally she was reluctant, she had been separated for so long, and within a few months of reunion, she was actually shooting the prairie with him, she was actually starting from her own interests, not worried that Qin Wei would miss her, but she didn't want to relive the loneliness from opening her eyes to closing her eyes. It has been separated for more than half a year, and the time difference is that even the voice is hard to hear, and she instinctively wants to refuse: the opportunity in Paris is not only what Sophie can give her, maybe not now, if she is willing to exchange for CY's shares, Kevin will not be so imminent, and if the group wants to push her, it can also create momentum.

But, after all, that is a matter of the future, to divide the cake, you have to settle the relationship between her and Fu Zhan, otherwise how can you play with Kevin? In Qiao Yun's opinion, Fu Zhan's chances of winning are no longer great, and now he is purely dead. If he wants to drive her away, the GA Group will never support it, and Chen Indigo is also on her side, except for completely admitting that there seems to be no way out, one day earlier to enter the cy, and one day earlier to get the share, and then hold on, what are you waiting for? Or do you realize that you can't pass the level of losing sincerity, this choice has never become a choice?

"Auntie. ”

Going to Paris to live for a period of time means countless itineraries for the designer, Qiao Yun didn't reply at the first time, and Sophie was not in a hurry, so she went to the warehouse of [Yun] to pick up clothes and bring them back - this is also one of the tasks of this work. Like "The Devil Wears Prada", haute couture magazines have a privilege in this regard, and the major brands never give clothes to them, and the cost is not high anyway, if they can appear in the magazine, it is pure profit. Sophie Ken packed up [Yun]'s warehouse and took it away, it was all for her face. Qiao Yun thought about it in the office, and still dialed Ms. Lin's phone, "Didn't disturb your office?"

"No, I just finished a meeting. Even if Ms. Lin has changed her opinion of Qiao Yun now, she will not be as enthusiastic as an aunt in the market, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll have a meal together next week when I have time, you and Qin Wei talk, he listens to you, I call him, and I can't get through eight times out of ten." ”

"Sometimes he can't get a phone call when he works out, he reads scripts, rehearses, and goes to class...... The schedule is complicated. Qiao Yun couldn't help but say a few good words for Qin Wei, and then mentioned, "Speaking of which, did I tell you last time, I found someone to continue to investigate the matter of that peripheral girl...... Now the ID number has been found out, but she herself is not in her hometown, and there has been no ID card check-in information in China for a long time, I think, do you have anything to do with the entry and exit side......

"Do you want to check her passport number and entry and exit information?" After all, Ms. Lin is Qin Wei's mother, and her reaction is sharp enough.

"Yes, her family situation is complicated, and she rarely contacts her family, and the police have questioned her before, and they all said that she has reported her missing. In turn, it is suspected that we are killing people with a vengeance, and these absurd accusations have also been mentioned by the police and the private investigators I hired. Qiao Yun frowned: In fact, the ID number was found to her by Brother Xie at that time, the police rarely started this case, and those who did this business rarely used their real names, and they were also taboo to deal with the public family, and they really couldn't find clues for a while.

With an ID card, the line was broken when I found out that my hometown, and the family didn't take it very seriously when I bit back - everyone thought that this peripheral girl was afraid of legal responsibility and revenge, so she hid, and even she thought so. So at that time, the police gave up the investigation, but she felt that it was just right - it was impossible for state organs to use public weapons for private use, and it was also a shame to be willing to investigate this kind of case, how many wanted criminals could not be found, and it was impossible to toss for Qin Wei for a few months or a year or two. Although she doesn't have a criminal record, as long as she shows up again, the private detective invited by Qiao Yun can directly notify the police to come over and make a record. Who is behind it, whether it is Ma Chi or Fu Zhan, or a more unexpected third person, there will always be clues to check further.

But now, more than a year has passed, people have not returned, and the ID card has not moved, and the limelight should not be hidden to this extent, right? Now that the second-generation ID card is networked, it is very difficult to live with another person's ID card all the time, and it seems that there is no need to be timid to this extent.

As long as he is not wanted, he will not be stopped from going abroad, and when he has not yet emerged in China, then this blind spot cannot be let go - it can't be really dead, right? Not to mention Ma Chi, even Fu Zhan doesn't think the other party will be so crazy. Qiao Yun didn't intend to let this matter pass like this, there was a little hope that she would always find a way to find it, "I have to trouble you to check, if you go abroad, then ......"

How to find it if you are going abroad, it will be really blind, and you can't send someone to look for a needle in a haystack over there, so her tone is also a little hesitant, but Ms. Lin doesn't care. "Knowing that going abroad is always a progress, and this matter can't just be forgotten. ”

said it lightly, but his determination was firmer than Qiao Yun. Qiao Yun sometimes thinks about Qin Wei and thinks that he is very powerful, living next to two carnivorous women, he is still like a fish in water, and it is not easy to become a submissive mother's treasure man and wife slave.

"It's back. ”

"Hmm. ”

Today, the two of them didn't seem to be in a high mood, and they could see that they were looking at each other, Qiao Yun asked, "The drama interview didn't go well?"

Qin Wei can go to the box office, but many drama masters don't look at this, stage plays, as an art form, have limitations, the size of the venue is limited, and the highest box office is like this, if the troupe itself is famous, the box office of the tour for a week will not be a problem, the attention brought by the stars is too impetuous, they actually don't care, whether they can get the role depends mainly on the acting skills. Qin Wei had an interview this afternoon - he didn't need a living assistant during his trip to France, and he didn't hire him when he came back, and Li Zhu wouldn't accompany him over, so he really drove over by himself.

“…… Not bad. Qin Wei replied a little perfunctory, with a look of concern. hugged Qiao Yun and didn't let go, leaned his chin on the top of her head, heavy, but it made Qiao Yun laugh, and the gloom in his heart dispersed, "It's just that the schedule may not be closed, so it can't be set yet." ”

The drama has a long cycle from preparation to staging, and they are now preparing for this winter's schedule, Qiao Yun was stunned, ""Liaoyuan" should have been filmed at that time, right?

"No......" Qin Wei may not have made up his mind himself, so he didn't continue, and turned to the kitchen, "Let's make it ourselves today, right?" The steak is almost cooked, fry it and eat it, what sauce do you want to go with?"

went to France once, and the last bit of the young master's habits were gone, and he actually knew how to cook. Qiao Yun followed him to the kitchen, leaned on his back with his eyes closed, and reluctantly hugged the waist of the male dog who had been tempered more recently, "You produce it, I like any sauce." ”

"Open the yellow cavity!" Qin Wei arched her buttocks, "What aesthetics." ”

"Thought □□!" Qiao Yun just didn't let go, Qin Wei bent down to get the frying pan with her back. The muscles on her back rolled, she buried herself in her back muscles, almost drowning in the smell of shower gel in the gym, and laughed with her eyes closed, "Well, don't make a fuss, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go." ”

"You're not stupid. Qin Wei was so helpless that he had to work in the kitchen with a humanoid pendant, cutting and fiddling and washing vegetables, the sound of water was loud, and after waiting for a while, Qiao Yun still didn't let go, he didn't move, and let go of his soft voice, "What's wrong?

"You talk about it first, I'll talk about it. Qiao Yun didn't want to open her eyes and fought with Qin Wei. "I'll say what you say. ”

“…… Okay, "Qin Wei is a man after all, not as hypocritical as her, "Sister Zhu called me today and said that someone bought a navy to hack me, and by the way, he also hacked you." But if I don't take the company's movie, I'm afraid I won't have the funds to guide public opinion. ”

Is this a problem? Qiao Yun didn't want to, "Then I'll pay for you." ”

When you say it, you know it's inappropriate, so hurry up and appease, "Ah...... But if you think it's inappropriate, then it's black, a water army or something, at most with a rhythm, real gold is not afraid of fire, what do actors care about? As for me, it doesn't matter, the costumes don't match this at all, as long as you don't care, what am I afraid of. ”

No matter how you joke about asking her to raise, it is still based on the fact that Qin Wei can easily maintain a standard of living with her, and now Qin Wei's male self-esteem is still a little hurt, he didn't speak, lowered his head and chopped the garlic into fine pieces, smeared it from the knife surface into the seasoning bowl, and said after a while, "I'm really not afraid?"

"Actually, it's nothing if [Yun] pays for it, you have made a lot of advertising for us, and we are the beneficiaries," Qiao Yun pasted softly, not daring to say anything hard, she said softly, "If someone hacks me in the future, I will definitely not let you go." Mom-and-pop shops, the benefits are given to us, and it is really unreasonable to pay for Warwick. ”

Seeing that Qin Wei's brows were not puzzled, she guessed, and said, "If you feel unhappy in Warwick and your career plan is inconsistent, that's okay, your contract will not expire next year, and then you will be independent to open your own studio - Lao Fan will not graduate next year? If he is willing to return to China, simply pull him to work together, you two join forces, and he has the same rich connections in the circle." When the time comes, commercial films will be played by the small artists under you, and you will act in art films yourself, and the studio will be able to make its own investment when it makes money, isn't it also good?"

After rolling in the mall, it is a solution to talk about it casually, Qin Wei's brows were slightly unraveled, "You can't forget Sister Zhu, she also wants to take some shares." ”

Li Zhu was the opportunity for him to enter the industry, Qin Wei is usually not very obedient, but he is grateful in his heart, Qiao Yun knows this, she is a little sour, but she didn't show it, and said with a smile, "Okay, then even if she is a part - but with her, you probably still have to act in some commercial films." ”

"Commercial films don't mean that they don't act at all, they keep acting in art films, and it is impossible for the studio to make money. Qin Wei is not high, "As long as it is well-made, acting in a commercial film is not torture - I don't want to take Warwick's film, in fact, I don't like the script so much, but I don't have much interest...... Rather than going to Hengdian to act, I would like to act in City B, so that I can be with you more. ”

This sentence suddenly said that Qiao Yun's heart was sick, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she simply said it directly. "Yes...... I also received an invitation today, and Sophie wants me to show in Paris this September, so I may have to spend a lot of time in Paris for the second half of the year. I haven't answered her yet, and I'd love to go...... But I'd love to stay with you too. ”

The two looked at each other, and neither spoke: this seemed to be a repetition of the New York controversy, but it had lost the spirit of the time, nor the reluctance of the time, and the constraints of a sense of responsibility - it was not because they had agreed to be together, so they persevered hard, hesitated whether to sacrifice their careers, and there was no third party, no resentment. This time, even she and Qin Wei can't say that they are opposed to each other, their opponents are contradictory selves - they both like careers and the feeling of hard work, but they can't let go of love, they want to get along day and night, and be by each other's side. It is said that there is no problem in love that cannot be coordinated, but in fact, this is just an empty slogan, the heart of wanting to be together is real, the tempting opportunity is also real, and the fear is not whether the love will disappear after separation, but the loneliness and longing when the company of the other party is missing.

This is not a new problem, and because of this foresight, from the past, there has always been one of her and him who wants to let go, but there is always one who wants to force it. Misunderstandings, contradictions, and quarrels have always run through their feelings, and now it may be the first time that they are on the same page—the first time they are faced with such a choice at the same time. The quarrels in the past are not without gain, Qin Wei will no longer ask her to be by her side as a matter of course, and she no longer has no confidence in her feelings, and always wants to say goodbye.

But the problem is still that problem, no matter how much you grow, you can't avoid it, until the reunion, they have been tacitly putting their feelings first in their careers, but Qin Wei has his arrogance, such a character, he can't completely let go of commercial films, and she also has her ambitions, this choice seems to put the stable relationship in an unknown state: half a year of different places, will it be repeatedly postponed due to career changes, and the sense of security that has just been gained will be lost immediately?

But, don't you really go to Paris? really don't act in commercial films, settle for strong women and weak men, and be financially dependent on your girlfriend?

What the two of them saw in each other's eyes was chaos, no concealment, no suspicion, undecided determination, and both were confused. Qiao Yun felt that her mind was like an ivory ball flying towards the □□, jumping between the grids, and for a while she was thinking about breaking away from [Yun] As a freelance artist, following Qin Wei with children, drawing design drawings and living a comfortable life, for a while she seems to be standing in the Grand Palais in Paris, the audience is full of celebrities, the applause is deafening, she seems to be being pulled around in a whirlpool, in the past, the career quarrel seemed to be just a gimmick, she and Qin Wei who loves more deeply and has a sense of responsibility is the focus of the quarrel, now beyond that realm, looking back, in fact, the essence of the original thought is a gimmick, the real doubt is only in yourself: the choice is not right or wrong, in fact, it only depends on what kind of person you want to become。

"Toot-"

The piercing phone ringing broke the eye between the two, and Qiao Yun lowered her head to pick up the phone. "Hey, Aunt Lin—Qin Wei is home now—" She also called Ms. Lin to confirm next week's dinner.

"It's okay, I'll just tell you. What you told me before, I have already greeted my friends - you really guessed right, the passport number corresponding to this ID number does have an exit record, it was to the United States in March last year, and I have not returned to China so far. Judging from the type of visa, it should be studied in the past. ”

I didn't expect that there would be real progress in changing my thinking, Qiao Yun was slightly happy, but frowned: The United States is so big, and there are tens of thousands of international students, how can I find it?"

"Yes, I can also handle this......" Aunt Lin was halfway through speaking, Qiao Yun's mobile phone vibrated again, she glanced at it, it was Brother Qing calling, so she pressed the hang-up button first. Unexpectedly, Brother Qing persevered, hung up and fought again, Qiao Yun was a little helpless. "Auntie, wait a minute, I have a phone call coming all the time, and I will talk to him. ”

These two calls are good, some of the stiff atmosphere was broken, Qin Wei began to cut mushrooms again, Qiao Yun answered Brother Qing's phone, "Hey, Brother Qing, what's the matter, I'll eat, will I call you later?"

"Damn, what are you going to eat! Don't eat, something is wrong!" Chen Indi's angry voice on the other end of the phone couldn't be stopped at all, and the sound shook the house through the earpiece, and Qin Wei turned around to listen. "You go online right now - 10 minutes ago, Shenyang Trade, the blogger suddenly posted a post to break the news that the demon is you - now it's 8000 revolutions, this speed is not normal at all - I think, behind this matter, there must be a water army in operation!" 166 Reading Network
