George Wilkes (Gee-Wilkes) was sitting in the hotel lobby, looking slightly nervous. Today was very likely to be the day that changed his career. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to mentally build up. , after arriving at the hotel, we entered a long wait. The anxiety was really hard to suppress..
He kept looking towards the door from the corner of his eyes. The lush greenery of Central Park formed a beautiful arc in the night, outlining the unique beauty of the city of New York. However, he had no intention of slowly admiring it. Then he saw The appearance of the target person.
That's Renly.
George nervously adjusted his tie, and after making sure it was not tied crookedly, he stood up, but his steps were a bit difficult. Standing next to Renly was the famous Tom Ford, with a look of interest on his face. With an energetic look on his face, he had a great time chatting with Renly; on the other side of Renly was Eaton, a stylist of unknown reputation, but to George, he was a gifted employee..
The group of people stopped in the middle of the hotel lobby. Tom said a few more words, then turned and left. Renly and others took steps forward again. George knew that his opportunity had come, and his brain was too late. Thinking, he walked forward quickly. Breathe, breathe... He kept reminding himself, breathe.
“Renly." George's call blurted out, but because his throat was a little tight, his voice was not very loud, but a little difficult..
But Renly still stopped and cast a polite look..
“How should I introduce myself? "George was a little dazed..
“This is George Wilkes." Eaton introduced simply, "He just created his own brand not long ago and is a new potential stock..”
Renly nodded with a smile, but before George could say hello, Eaton continued, "Stop chatting here, go upstairs and talk in detail.".”
George closed his mouth and followed them step by step, taking the elevator upstairs. The dark red carpet paved the entire corridor, silent and peaceful, making people slow down their breathing involuntarily, but when they actually entered the room After that, George felt what luxury was. The living room alone was as big as half a basketball court. At this time, there were four golden gantry stands in the open space on the right hand side, with all kinds of dazzling hangings on them. suit, suddenly making the whole space become narrower.
George stood cautiously in the living room and glanced cautiously. Burberry, Tom Ford, Dior, Armani, Paul Smith... designs of different levels and styles were all there. He hurriedly scanned them. He didn't see where his design was hung. He had clearly entrusted his assistant to deliver it this afternoon. Maybe it was hidden inside..
George became more and more nervous. Just glancing at the gantry, he could feel the fierce competition. It would be difficult to break out of the siege..
Not only George, but Andy was also eye-opening at this time. What surprised Andy was not the clothes. As Harrison Ford's agent and a senior agent of the Innovative Artist Agency, he had seen grander and grander clothes. scene; he was surprised by Eaton's ability.
As a newcomer with an unstable foundation, it is almost impossible for Renly to directly win the favor of these big names, unless he is like Karl Lagerfeld who appointed Blake Lively and completed the fashion industry overnight. The triple jump is truly transformed. But at this moment, the clothes placed on the gantry in front of me are iron-clad facts, proving the importance of stylists..
Judging simply from the styles and designs of the clothes on the gantry today, Eaton's connections and abilities are still slightly ahead of Melvin Blades. For Renly, this is really rare..
“Let's start now, there's not much time left before midnight, I don't want to see the tragedy of the Wolf King's transformation." Eaton said jokingly.
It's no secret that Renly is lethargic..
The famous "Boar Incident" at Eton College originated from the fact that the dormitory administrator suddenly checked the rooms three times in the previous week at 12 o'clock at midnight, turned on the lights in all the rooms, and checked each room one by one. , which angered the sleeping Renly and caused a tragedy, which is still a legend in the school..
Renly didn't care about such ridicule and walked to the center of the hall in a dignified manner, waiting for Eaton's assessment..
Eaton stepped forward and followed the Savile Row convention. He lifted up Renly's hands and stretched them flat. He then used a tape measure to get a brief understanding of the size of each detail. In addition to the basic data, neck circumference, wrists, Seemingly unrelated data such as forearms and calves were also recorded..
George looked at Andy and Matthew who were sitting on the sofa. He hesitated for a moment and stood on the other side of the hall, watching their work from a distance. George knew that a truly top-notch custom-made suit must be Be completely meticulous, the quality of a detail may affect the overall quality.
After the measurement was completed, Eaton walked to the gantry and began to select carefully, "How about we start with George?" Since the designer is here, he can try it on and make changes directly, which is the best thing. of.
George immediately rushed forward, ready to start working, but before he could reach the gantry, there was a knock on the door. George looked at the other people in the room and was stunned for half a second. Anyway, he just Standing in the corridor at the entrance, he said, "I'll open the door.”
The person who came in was from Burberry. From what he said, he could tell that he was probably Christopher Bailey's assistant..
After a while of polite greetings, Renly naturally started trying on clothes from Burberry. The assistant stood beside him and used pins to adjust the size of the clothes to ensure the best effect..
Before Burberry's fitting was over, another person came over. This time it was the marketing director of Paul Smith's New York branch. The scene became noisy again, and the subsequent fitting was Paul Smith's turn..
George felt like an outsider, and he wanted to blend in. He also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He also knew that these were relevant people in the fashion industry. He also knew that tonight was very important. If he could make friends with these people , his path as a designer will be much smoother. However, he is at a loss and has no idea where to start. He can't even interrupt, let alone carry on a conversation freely..
A nobody like him is like a transparent person with no sense of existence at all..
After trying on twenty-five suits without interruption, the clock had passed the midnight mark, and Renly also felt a little tired. Changing clothes was actually a physical job. This was Renly's truest realization..
Of all the fittings I just tried on, the one with the best effect was Tom Ford..
The Golden Globe Awards are different from the Oscars and Emmy Awards. It places more emphasis on entertainment and the atmosphere is more relaxed. Some people even appeared on stage wearing motorcycle leather jackets, which was extremely cool. The actors also let go and competed. Gorgeous, even compared to actresses.
Tom Ford's design is bolder and more trendy, but at the same time it retains simple lines, especially the tailoring of the shoulder line, chest line and waist line, which reveals the designer's consistent sexiness.
Such a suit would be too flamboyant if it appeared at the Oscars; but it would be just right for the Golden Globes.
“Do you want to try again? Eaton crossed his hands on his chest and asked, "Or should we just stay here tonight?" Continue tomorrow？”
Hearing these words, George's heart jumped into his throat and his whole body tensed up. He had been waiting here for three hours without saying a word. Do he have to wait until tomorrow?？
He didn't mind waiting, but what if Renly decided not to continue trying tomorrow and chose Tom Ford directly? He didn't even have a chance to show himself and was directly eliminated? Should he step forward and fight for it? What should he say to make Renly stay?？
“George? "A voice calling came to his ears, hoarse because of fatigue. He raised his head suddenly, and then he saw Renly's gaze, "Eton is waiting for you..”
George's mood immediately soared. On the gantry beside Eaton, there were suits designed by him. "Of course, of course." George walked forward quickly, "These three suits are my designs, inspired by you. , emphasizing the simplicity of lines……”
“Slow down." Renly laughed dumbly. George then realized that because he was too eager and too excited, he spoke much faster than usual, like a machine gun. This made him twitch the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, but I can’t laugh. “You just said that these three sets of clothes were designed with me as inspiration.？”
Renly thinks this is too ridiculous. He has only two works so far. "War in the Pacific" is broadcast on paid cable TV. The video has not been released yet, so the audience is really limited; "Buried Alive" is a small-scale public release. , the screening venues are also very limited, and the excitement of the news is only spread among the audiences who care about the movie. After the Golden Globe nomination list came out, many people even wondered who "Renly Hall" was..
His popularity is at the level of a third-tier actor at best. How could anyone use him as inspiration to complete a design?？
George’s cold humor deserves recognition.
“Yes." George nodded and said affirmatively, "After watching 'War in the Pacific', I was deeply impressed by the character of Eugene Sledgehammer, and later I watched two of your singles. I got some inspiration from the YouTube video and designed these three suits. These are tailor-made for you. I feel that no one can wear the true essence of these three suits except you..”
George's eyes were shining with excitement, sincere and firm, which made Renly stunned, and turned to look at Eaton.
But I saw Eaton shrugging his shoulders with a smile, as if to say: My selection is not random..
The corners of Renly's mouth slightly raised, "It's my pleasure. I can't wait now. I want to see what the design tailored for me looks like.".”
