121 Insider's Guide
Melvin was on the verge of breaking out. The unknown guy in front of him had already tried on twenty-four suits, which took nearly three hours. However, there were some flaws that could be found in each suit, and then he had to start over again. Come again. Even Anne Hathaway did not have such trouble.
Of course, it's normal for an actress to try on fifty dresses in order to attend the Oscars, but this guy is just attending an Emmy Awards, so why is he taking it seriously? It was such a small achievement that he started to complain. Melvin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and expressed his dissatisfaction loudly. His time was extremely precious and he didn't have time to show off with a kid here. game.
If it weren't for the sake of Andy Rogers, he wouldn't want to deal with such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. Thinking of the innovative artist management company behind Andy, Melvin let out a long breath and advised himself to work for the future. Work, bear with it a little longer.
“I think this set is very good, young and energetic, the cut is very decent, and the temperament is very suitable for your style. You only need to comb all the hair with hair wax, and you will definitely not go wrong." Melvin suppressed the last trace. Patiently, he spoke, but his words were already a little careless..
Looking at this Scottish plaid suit in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the bright red, dark blue and black plaid patterns are dazzling. The same plaid pattern up and down seems too much, and it is a bit too strong. If you change the pants If it is in a single color, the overall sense will be much better. In addition, this outfit will be very suitable for attending fashion ceremonies or celebration parties, but it will be too thirsty for attending the Emmy Awards, and it will radiate all over the body." Please follow my "information.
Hearing Melvin's words, Renly couldn't help but frown slightly. He could feel the stylist's impatience, but the problem was that he was the one who tried on the clothes, and he was more tired than Melvin. , and even more impatient. Moreover, they paid Melvin as a stylist, so Melvin must complete the work conscientiously. Renly really began to doubt Andy for the recommendation of more than 20 suits just now. Have you been cheated? Melvin's professionalism is really hard to agree with..
However, Renly still maintained basic etiquette and said, "I personally think this suit is too flamboyant and inappropriate for attending the Emmy Awards..”
Melvin raised his eyebrows, and there was a trace of ridicule in the smile on his lips - what does this country bumpkin know, to actually question his professionalism, "Then which one do you think is more suitable?" Melvin gave up his position, Showing the gantry behind him, "How about you try that set of Vivienwood? This is a British brand. I think it will definitely suit you..”
Renly frowned slightly, and his tone became less friendly, "Are you kidding me? I think this is too flamboyant, and then you recommend Vivienne Westwood to me? I don't think this is the case. Is it a wise choice? As a stylist, do you only have a gantry reserve? Is this all you have in store? "Ren Li has always been low-key and reserved, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of conflict. , having no temper and being polite does not mean that you are weak..
The biggest characteristics of Vivienne Westwood's designs are rebellious, flamboyant, bold and unconventional. This is almost her business card. Melvin's choice of this brand is obviously unprofessional..
“Are you the stylist, or am I the stylist? "Melvin was immediately furious. He is also a well-known top stylist in the industry, and this guy in front of him came out of nowhere and pointed at himself. His picky and arrogant look is really disappointing. He laughed out loud, and all the previously suppressed anger completely burst out, "What do you know about fashion? What do you know about suits? Which one is your major, or mine? Look at the clothes you wore today, a T-shirt with jeans, and you also chose cloth shoes that fashion people would never touch? This is simply a ghetto outfit and you’re here to give me advice on my work.？”
Melvin turned around and looked at Andy with a red face. His lips began to tremble slightly because of the anger, "Andy, I'm sorry. I really want to complete this job smoothly, but obviously you The actors were not cooperative at all. Not only did they point fingers, but they also insulted my professionalism. This is absolutely not allowed. I will not accept this job. The prepaid deposit is non-refundable, but I will not accept any subsequent payments. .please leave now！”
Renly was a little dumbfounded. Melvin actually took the initiative and complained first, as if he was the one who had been wronged. However, Renly did not rush to defend himself, but looked at Andy. He was a little curious. As an agent, how would Andy handle it?.
Andy still had that kind smile on his face, smiling as if he was not aware of the tense atmosphere in the room at all, "Melvin, you are a stylist, you must complete your work. I don't know what exactly happened here. What is it, but what I am sure of is that if the person standing in front of you is Brad Pitt, I think you will never get angry..”
To be honest, Andy really didn't understand the situation. He felt that Melvin's work was very good and the suit looked good on Renly. However, Andy's position was very clear. Internal problems could be solved slowly after returning. Now When facing outsiders, he unconditionally chooses to support his artists.
“Andy, I tell you what happened! "Melvin is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. It is one thing to jump up and neglect the newcomers, but it is another thing to be exposed by the agent. Of course he will not admit it, "He is a layman who has no knowledge of suits. , pointing fingers at my work, refusing to believe in my professionalism, refusing to accept my opinions, he may not even know the difference between a small lapel collar and a large lapel collar, but he keeps making meaningless remarks. I don’t Understand why I'm here as a stylist.”
Hearing these words, Renly couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous joy. In fact, on the contrary, he had worn suits the most in the past twenty years. He had to wear formal clothes even when eating at home, let alone For those formal occasions, the school uniforms are all uniform suits. In his life, suits are a normal thing..
However, all of his suits are custom-made by hand. People who have not reached that level cannot see the difference in quality at all, and will only think that they are tailor-made products without a brand. The fact is that Renly does not like wearing suits very much, because the real High-end suits are very cumbersome to wear——
High- end suits are actually spliced together. Taking a shirt as an example, it is divided into a front piece of fabric, a back piece of fabric, a collar, a front piece, and two cuffs. There are no sleeves. After splicing the front and back pieces of fabric, button the collar Put it on, then tie the bow tie. If it is cold in winter, you can wear a bottoming shirt underneath. Finally, fasten the cuffs with cufflinks, and you are finished..
The reason why there are no sleeves is very simple. When the cuffs are stained, you can directly replace the cuffs with new ones by unbuttoning the cufflinks without taking off the entire dress; the shirt without collar later gradually evolved into A style of casual shirt, collarless shirt, because a collar is only required on formal occasions, even with a tie or bow tie.
Therefore, it is extremely troublesome to put on the entire suit, and it cannot be completed without help. This is why it is extremely cumbersome for the nobles to prepare for every banquet. Usually, their suits have also been modernly improved, and the shirts are only divided into three parts. It has two parts: collar and body, which makes it much easier to wear..
Renly actually had three haute couture suits in his wardrobe, but he didn't feel it was necessary to wear them to attend the Emmy Awards, so he handed over the styling issue to Andy..
Obviously Andy didn't understand this situation. If you think about it carefully, it was only the fourth time that the two met today. The first time Renly was wearing St. Patrick's Day clothes, the second time he was preparing to go skateboarding, and the third time The next time he got off the plane, Renly was dressed in casual clothes every time, casual and simple. So, this is not surprising..
“In fact, your existence is indeed meaningless." Renly's gentle voice spoke calmly, but it had a calm and biting coldness. Melvin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, " First of all, you have not really measured the size of each part of my body. The sizes of each brand will be slightly different. Without reference data, every recommendation you make is not very suitable. Secondly, you have not really measured the size of each part of my body. I am included in the reference range, what style is suitable for me? What style should I choose based on my age, the occasion I am attending, my location, etc.? You haven't thought it through.”
Melvin opened his mouth to argue, but Renly didn't give him a chance..
“Finally, I tried on a total of twenty-five suits just now, seven of which were Dior and eight were Armani. But the interesting thing is that Dior’s styles are always narrow, and the proportion of shoulders and waist is not suitable for me; Armani's styles are always more general, with no lines or cuts to speak of, and the upper body effect is more biased towards men over thirty-five years old. This is obviously not suitable for me. If I guessed correctly, you should have got Dior Sponsored by Armani？”
Melvin felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cave. His muscles were stiff, his expression was dull, and he couldn't even make a sound..
“Also, I'm British and I have no problem with checks or stripes, but gray vertical stripes? Navy blue diagonal stripes? Dark gray dark plaid? God, is there some misunderstanding between us? Do you think I am fifty years old this year?？”
Renly's sharp words made Melvin stunned. Even the blonde standing next to him was dumbfounded and at a loss. Renly looked around and continued to do more damage, "If this is all the clothing you can provide, Well, I guess, I really don't need a stylist. Andy, how about we change places?？”
Andy nodded calmly, "Okay..”
Renly showed a bright smile, "Give me two minutes, I will change this circus costume..”
