Chapter 337: Fashion
"Miss Betty, I'd like to visit your school if I can."
"Just call me Britney." She laughed.
This girl knows fashion and makeup very well, and she has a good figure, but her face is the kind of wide face in the West, and the wide face belongs to the big difference between the aesthetics of Eastern and Western men, Chen Xing still likes the traditional goose egg face, or the modern pointed face.
Except, of course, for facelifts.
"Okay, Britney, does your school allow outsiders to visit?"
He wanted to go to this Royal Swedish Academy to see.
The École Supérieure des Decorations in Paris, where Chen Xing studied, was also the Royal Academy of Painting many years ago, and although it is now also a national university, Chen Xing has never seen people from the royal family or the government come to the school.
As a new youth who grew up under the red flag, Chen Xing was curious about the word royalty.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, many universities in Sweden have no external walls, and the campus is integrated with the streets outside the school, and many tourists who come to Sweden will visit the school." I think this should be the way Swedish literature flourishes? ”
"A school without facades?"
"Uh-huh." She took a bite of smoked salmon.
It tastes really good, this restaurant is one of the ten best restaurants in Stockholm, and people who have lived here for a long time rarely come here to eat, because it is too expensive, and Britney, who is from Germany, is even more reluctant, so even after studying here for a few years, she has only been here two or three times.
She also introduced:
"One of the places in the city known as the Pearl of Stockholm is the City Hall, which is located on the edge of Lake Mälaren and is not surrounded by walls. If you're here for the view, then I think you might as well visit our school, most of the city hall is open to the public for free, even if it's indoors, you can buy a ticket to enter. ”
"Thanks, is there anything else worth visiting?"
"There are so many of them, Sweden's museums are as full as the stars, and the Royal Palace, the Queens' Island Summer Palace, which is also where the Swedish royal family lives...... Also, in the cities of Sweden you will see a lot of wild animals, squirrels, seabirds, wild ducks and so on, which is normal, they are not afraid of people, but you can't hurt them because of it. ”
Chen Xing knows a little about this, like Iceland and Norway, Sweden, as one of the Nordic countries, has the same protection of nature as several other countries.
When it comes to the protection of natural ecology, there is no country in the world that can surpass Northern Europe.
Even if their protection is only for the places they can control, and it's hard to control other big countries, it's also good, at least that's what tourists want to see when they come to Northern Europe, isn't it?
"I understand." Chen Xing said.
The two happily finished the meal, and when they left, Chen Xing added Britney's Facebook message.
In Europe, you have to get used to preparing a few more social software on your mobile phone, and the market on their side has not been integrated, unlike in China, where a WeChat has been solved, if you encounter the kind of social software they use in the street shooting, Chen Xing does not have it, then you can only send emails.
In addition to commercial use, few ordinary people use Internet mail, but foreign countries still maintain the habit of using email.
"I'll send you the picture a little later that night."
"Anytime, the photos you take are really beautiful, just as beautiful as the photos of the stars, thank you, Chen." Britney is happier than Chen Xing, this kind of photo is very showy on Facebook.
"Waiter!"
Chen Xing called someone over to pay the bill.
Good fellows three thousand six Swedish kronor.
Huaxia currency for Swedish kronor is about one dollar for one piece of five, so this meal and these dishes are about more than 2,000 yuan, and this price can be booked in a large hotel in Paris A complete set meal, the pattern is several times more than these four dishes.
It's really expensive......
He doesn't have any heartache, the money is earned and spent, anyway, no matter how much he uses the money now, he can't make money as fast as he can.
It's just that I feel very emotionally about the price of things in Northern Europe.
In the envious eyes of the guests in the restaurant, Chen Xing and Britney walked out together.
In today's generally dark environment, a girl who can control papaya and orange is definitely the most beautiful boy in everyone's eyes, and she doesn't need to see what her face looks like, as long as she notices the color, she will unconsciously look at it.
This is how visually prominent colors are.
And although Chen Xing is just a very simple set of colors, his clothes belong to the kind that the more you look at it, the more flavorful and temperamental, coupled with his face that eats both East and West, which makes a group of women envy Britney.
The waiter in the restaurant felt that Chen Xing's date was a success.
But Chen Xing just sent her out, and then the two parted ways, one wanted to go back to school to live, and the other wanted to continue shopping.
Even if the West is more open to sex, it is difficult to encounter a typical European beauty who can be invited to a hotel after just an hour of acquaintance, not to mention that she is also a graduate student of a well-known school...... Unless Chen Xing meets a fan who knows him.
But that's another story.
And Chen Xing doesn't have that kind of worldly desire now, he just arrived in Sweden today, and his mind is completely on appreciating the Nordic scenery and architecture.
After Britney's reminder, Chen Xing knew that there was a commercial street about 500 meters away from this restaurant, and the signboard was a big Gallerian, which was easy to recognize, Chen Xing walked a little in the direction she said and sure enough, he saw this sign.
The appearance of this commercial street is five points similar to that of Wanda in China, but it is not a separate building, but at the middle end of this street, only two sides are facing the street outside, the glass windows on the first floor are very transparent, and the models inside are wearing Nordic fashion.
What is Nordic fashion this season?
It is a down jacket.
The dry and cold environment of Northern Europe is especially suitable for wearing down jackets, similar to the northeast of China, as long as the down jacket is worn, it will not feel wet and cold inside.
This kind of warm winter happiness is something that Chen Xing, a southwestern boy, can't experience.
Speaking of cold, it must be in northern China, or in northern Europe, where it is colder, and the low temperature weather in the south is only about zero degrees, but even if people from Harbin go to Rongcheng, they will feel very uncomfortable in winter, this is not a joke, this is all true.
Having said that, Chen Xing went to the commercial street to buy a few thicker clothes.
It was too troublesome to bring a down jacket in the suitcase, so Chen Xing only brought this coat, and bought a few to hang in the hotel's wardrobe to change in.
Walking into the Gallerian, the temperature inside has risen sharply.
There are a lot of clothing brands on the first floor, and there are restaurants upstairs, because he smells a little bit of barbecue, and someone comes down with ice cream.
He wanted to go upstairs, but at this time he saw a very familiar brand.
MarcPolo?
Chen Xing has worked with this company before, they brought a lot of teams to France to do publicity during Paris Fashion Week, and Chen Xing also met a Swedish female model, who seems to be called Ether Gestavosson?
I haven't been in touch for several months, Chen Xing almost forgot the name of this person, and I have time to see if I can ask her to be my tour guide and let her take her around.
She is also very young, she was born in 01, she is one year older than Chen Xing, but she is already a world-class model, which is really amazing.
Replaced by Chen Xing, who has no system, he is estimated to be still studying hard in a junior college.
What's the use of being handsome and not talented, he didn't know that he was talented in photography at the time, and even if he did, he couldn't afford to buy a camera.
He can come to this point now, Chen Xing feels that Guangzhou restaurants have played a great role, otherwise he has no photography skills, and he can't do it without a camera.
Maybe everything will change after that, and I won't be in Paris.
Go back and explore another store over there?
Chen Xing thought about these miscellaneous things in his heart and walked into MarcPolo.
This is a Swedish high-end fashion brand, with simple styles and high-quality fabrics, with a neat and bright silhouette, quickly became the new favorite of the international market, I heard that last winter in Paris played all the scenery, sales pressure some old fashion brands are not able to raise their heads.
The store is huge, but there aren't many places to actually put clothes, more of a variety of sculptures, decorations, and so on.
Swedish clothing stores seem to like to put sculptures in their stores, and there are also some shops on the street just now, at first he thought it was a dummy model, but after seeing more than he saw it, he knew that they liked to put everything in the store, but at least it looked harmonious.
Just like the inside of this store, the bright modern design, sporty décor, and the previous running athlete model also seem to complement each other.
"What style of clothes do guests choose?"
"I'll take a casual look first."
"Okay."
The shop is air-conditioned and not cold, and this waiter looks particularly energetic in a pink shirt and short skirt.
Chen Xing glanced at it a few times, and after appreciating the taste of the people selected by this store, he paid attention to these clothes, and he didn't necessarily just buy down jackets, if he liked it, he could also buy more, and it was a big deal to find logistics to transport home when he left, it was a trivial matter.
"Can I try it on?"
"Yes."
Chen Xing thought of the appearance of accidentally seeing Britney Spears just now, hesitated, and also chose a set of brightly colored clothes.
It's a little too conspicuous......
Blue sky and royal blue.
The blue sky color is a lighter blue, which is the same as the normal color of the sky, and the royal blue is much darker, which is deeper than the ordinary blue seen on the computer, and some convenience stores like to use this blue as their signboard.
Because it's conspicuous.
The royal blue shirt, sky-blue slacks and hat, this set made Chen Xing completely return to the handsomeness and vitality that he should have at his age...... It's just that it's a little cold to go out, so he took another sky blue jacket with the same color as his pants.
Such a set of clothes is very handsome, but it depends on the person.
You need to be whiter.
Fortunately, Chen Xing hasn't been in the sun recently, and his skin is quite white now, and after changing into such a set of clothes, the shopping guide who accompanied her was stunned, and when she took him to another area to buy winter clothes, she also whispered to ask Chen Xing if he was an international student and where he studied.
As soon as he came here, Chen Xing was shocked by a picture on the wall.
I haven't seen this photo for almost a year, but I didn't expect that after the last separation, the first encounter was actually in Sweden?
This is a picture on the wall, if someone passes by on the street, you can see this picture through the glass that is so clean that it is not the same, and when you zoom in, it is beautiful and clear, with a blue sky, white snow, and a group of people walking towards the top of a snowy mountain.
Right......
That's right, this is Chen Xing's Snow Mountain series that won the Best Story Award at the French Winter Photography Festival.
That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
Chen Xing was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time, and there was a sense of pride brewing in his heart, because this brand is a Nordic high-end clothing brand, not an ordinary brand store of those small Nordic designers, and it is indeed a very proud thing that his works can appear here.
But he was also eager to ask...... Did you pay royalties?
Well, it's none of Chen Xing's business anyway.
At that time, Chen Xing was too young and not well-known when he took this work, and this photo was given free to the Paris Art Association, which took good care of him at that time, so no matter what he wanted to do with this work now, the benefits were actually from the Paris Art Association.
It's just that the photographer can't change.
Alas, alas.
I don't know how much they sold this work, but I have to talk to President Zhou after I go back, and at least I have to invite myself to a few meals.
The girl who was the shopping guide looked at Chen Xing with wide eyes and looked at this photo, and she explained with a smile:
"This is a photographer from China, Chen, a work taken in their country, you can see from the people on the photo, our boss said that the photographer's series of works on the snow mountains has a vigorous and upward action, and at the same time can make people feel the cold from the snow mountains, so it is placed here, and many customers who come to our store like it very much."
Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that Chen Xing was an Asian, although he spoke English well, he might be a Chinese, so she asked curiously: "Are you Chinese?" ”
"Yes."
"Look at you, do you know this photographer?"
"Meet ......"
Not only do I know him, but you also know him, and you just wanted to add him as a friend.
"That's so envious of you, I also want to have a photographer friend so that he can take a lot of pictures for me. Hehe, I've heard that our boss has a lot of respect for this photographer, and maybe he'll invite him to Sweden for our launch event. ”
"Really?"
"I've heard the gossip too, well, how do you look at this dress, guest."
After chatting for a long time, I finally got back to the topic.
If you want to rate the top industries in Northern Europe, then the winter clothing industry is definitely one of them, especially Nordic down jackets.
Although expensive, the quality is absolutely excellent.
Chen Xing bought two pieces, and bought other things, and the combined price of the six fashions exceeded 100,000 Swedish kronor, and the exchanged kronor was almost spent in just one day.
It's no wonder that people who travel are the most willing to spend money.
Chen Xing may not be able to use so much money at home for several months.
