Chapter 55: The Three Musketeers

Audrey, who is only seventeen years old now, has not really radiated her charming temperament, such as her classic short hairstyle and noble Hepburn hairstyle, which have not really been known to the world, and some immature expressions and fawn-like panicked eyes have greatly reduced her current temperament.

Let her be a model, Zhou Nan drew many sketches for her, and then looked at these sketches and pondered.

If you want to hype her up and become famous in the fashion circle, it is actually a very simple thing, because she has a pure angelic temperament like a clear spring, which most women dream of.

In terms of pure appearance, she is definitely not the most beautiful. In this era, among the stars, Zhou Nan has always thought that there are two who can compare with her, or even surpass her.

One is Vivien Leigh, the woman with cat-like eyes, who is an elf, and compared to her, Audrey's beauty is too single.

The other is Grace Kelly, who later became a princess, and the beauty of that woman is a kind of graceful and luxurious, domineering.

But their beauty temperament is mixed, unlike Audrey's pure beauty has reached an extreme, so no matter which beauty pageant is on the list, Audrey is firmly in the first place.

If you want to bring out her beauty, of course, you need an excellent fashion designer, although Zhou Nan can rely on the memory of her dream to design clothes suitable for her, but it is only a few sets, and it is impossible to last forever.

Therefore, in addition to designing a few outfits for Audrey, he also had to consider follow-up issues.

Of course, the most suitable is to go to Hubert Givenchy, but although this guy is gay, who knows if he is bisexual, Zhou Nan doesn't want him to be his rival.

After all, in another life, he and Audrey were lifelong friends, and when Audrey died, he was one of the six coffin bearers.

In addition to him, the most suitable should be Chanel. This woman who has been amorous all her life has a natural ability to create beauty, and Chanel's style of clothing is also very suitable for Audrey.

But the sixty-three-year-old woman and her new lover, a Nazi officer, who are now taking refuge in Lausanne, Switzerland, have temporarily withdrawn from the fashion scene. It would be eight years before she returned to fashion and re-established Chanel as a benchmark in the fashion industry.

Although she is romantic, she is very alive and did not die until she was 100 years old, perhaps men are the source of her longevity.

After thinking about it, Zhou Nan decided to go to Givenchy. Because this guy who has never been married in his life should not be bisexual, otherwise, he would not not not be married, and he has such a good relationship with Audrey, and he will not have never pursued Audrey.

Because of Audrey's relationship, he paid attention to Givenchy's life, recalled it, and gave Etinny a name. "Etinny, go to this haute couture store called Lucy, Ann Lelon, and ask them to send a couple of costume designers."

Although Paris is the fashion center of the world, the name of the haute couture store is not just a random clothing store. In the whole of Paris, there are currently 60 haute couture houses that can be recognized by the Paris Fashion Council. In the new century, a few decades later, it was fixed to only 11.

Moreover, all of these stores are registered with the Fashion Association, and any out-of-town who comes to Paris only needs to buy a copy of the Fashion Association's impurities to know which stores are real haute couture stores.

Repackaging Audrey, this is what Zhou Nan mentioned when he arranged for Etinney to help Audrey and the two girls negotiate the contract, and today he is ready to follow the guidance of public opinion in Paris and let Audrey enter the industry early, and Ettinney is also a good one.

"Lucy, Ann and Lelon, the style of this store doesn't seem to suit Audrey?" Etinny looked at the fashion association's list and said, "You see their fashion style, old-school, depraved, and they like to raise the price with intricate workmanship and high-end fabrics, which is completely different from the style we want to create for Audrey." ”

"It's okay, you just ask them to send a few assistant designers with different styles, anyway, we already have my own clothing style, we just need them to make it."

"Why this one? Does it have something to do with some Frenchman who came to visit us? ”

Zhou Nan didn't want to continue the discussion, nodded vaguely and said, "Go ahead, just indicate that you want an assistant designer." ”

Stolko suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, and said, "Jonas, there are three reporters here, I'm afraid you need to receive them personally." ”

"Didn't you say that you won't be interviewed by reporters alone?"

Stolko laughed, "But there were three of them, one named Albert Camus, the other Jean-Paul Sartre, and the other lady named Simone de Beauvoir. ”

Hearing the first name, Zhou Nan had already stood up and turned to look for his coat. After hearing these three names, his heart was already boiling.

Although these three people can only be regarded as small fame now, in the future, no matter who they are, they are all famous, and both men have won Nobel Prizes.

Sartre and Beauvoir were a couple, and they and Camus were friends, but Zhou Nan remembered that they later turned against each other because of their beliefs, and Sartre did not even receive his Nobel Prize.

So much so that in the future, Sartre's followers ridiculed Camus's believers, and a Nobel Prize made him run to receive the award.

However, at this time, they can come together, and it is obvious that they have not fallen out yet.

While looking for clothes, Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Ludwig, when you came to France, have you become as funny as a Frenchman?" ”

Stolko also deliberately said: "I am not wrong, Camus is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Combat, and Sartre and Beauvoir are not only writers, but also founders of Modern Magazine." ”

Zhou Nan didn't care to refute him, put on his coat with the help of Audrey, and straightened his hair again before rushing out.

They chartered four suites in this hotel, and the innermost one was Zhou Nan and Audrey's, because Zhou Nan had to write, to publish in the newspaper, and needed to be quiet, so this room was generally not for guests.

Etinny also shared a suite with them, so that he could take care of them nearby and deliver the news.

Stolko stayed in a separate suite with Heitinga, where a lot of information was kept and no guests were entertained. The suite opposite them was occupied by Favre and his assistant.

Pierre, who lived in the outermost suite, and his two assistants, who later came from Switzerland, also had the living room of their room used as a reception room.

In the room, Favre was talking to the three people who were already sitting on the sofa, and when he saw Zhou Nan coming in, they all stood up again.

After Zhou Nan entered the house, without waiting for Favre's introduction, Zhou Nan had already stretched out his hand to the nearest Sartre and said: "Hello, Mr. Sartre, your existential philosophy is a discipline that I admire very much, as the founder of this discipline, you will definitely be able to carve your name in the history of mankind." ”

Sartre is now quite famous, but in the face of Zhou Nan's flattery, he is still a little embarrassed, and said modestly: "Compared with your "General History of the World", my "Being and Nothingness" is too obscure. ”

"This is because we don't study in the same direction, my research direction is history, while you're mainly in philosophy. I have always had a sense of fear of philosophy, so I have a sincere admiration for you. ”

Nodding to each other, Zhou Nan turned to Beauvoir again, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Beauvoir, your propaganda and promotion of women's independence of thought and life is a great cause. ”

Beauvoir, one of the founders of the feminist movement, issued a personal declaration of independence at the age of nineteen, declaring: "I will never let my life be subordinated to the will of others."

She wrote many books, the most famous of which is "The Second Sex", which has also been canonized as a women's bible.

She and Sartre lived together for the rest of their lives, but they never went through the formalities of marriage. However, despite this, no one can deny that the two of them are more like husband and wife than many couples, they are lovers, friends, partners, comrades-in-arms, and of course comrades.

Although she is almost forty years old, she is still very attractive and not a beauty in the true sense of the word, but in the crowd, she will always be the first woman to attract the attention of others.

And she is not short, standing with Sartre, she is taller than Sartre.

After listening to Zhou Nan's words, she also laughed and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Zhou also approves of feminism?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "I actually don't like this name very much, whether it is male or female, there is a kind of opposing prejudice. Personally, I think gender equality is easier for everyone to accept. ”

After listening to Zhou Nan's words, she thought deeply.

Zhou Nan shook hands with Camus at the innermost point and said: "Mr. Camus, your absurdist has had a great impact on me, thank you for showing this philosophy with theories and novels that everyone can understand, so that I can see my position clearly." ”

Camus paused for a moment, then excitedly shouted at Sartre: "Sartre, do you hear me?" Absurdism! God, Mr. Zhou, how did you come up with the idea to summarize this genre of books in terms of absurdism? Do you have any specific research on this? I can't believe that you also have research on absurdism, and when I read your book, I thought you were just a traditional historical researcher, and your book doesn't seem to have any shadow of absurdism. I love that word! I'll use that word to summarize my book in the future. No, I want to hear right now what kind of research you have and how you can form a clear theory of this type. ”

Listening to his messy words, Zhou Nan was stunned, hasn't he sorted out this set of theories yet? No, his "The Outsider" has already been published, and absurdist literature is not uncommon now!

(Book lovers are welcome to actively review the book, but don't talk about some sensitive things.) I rarely delete book reviews, but today I deleted a book review, not because I didn't like my book, but because I was swearing. The second is to compare my books with other people's, which is not necessary, I just want to write quietly, and I don't want to make any conflicts. I'm actually a fan of novels, and I often read other people's books, but I don't think it's necessary to divide the highs and lows, just subscribe to reward book reviews if you like, and just don't read them if you don't like them. )
