53 Professional Suits

Ai Fei yawned a big yawn and shouted to the locker room opposite: "Hey, are you doing well? Is it just a change of clothes, and it takes so long?"

"Uh...Hi Yizi!" Yumiya's small voice came from inside: "It'll be fine soon."

As he spoke, the door of the locker room was opened, and Yumiya Iko walked out timidly. She dragged away the kimono that had been like the same for decades and changed into a standard female professional suit. In order to give the girl who followed her from China to the United States, he personally participated in the costume from the selection of materials and production. However, it was about a month later than his expectations - the work in the studio was too busy. The request from too many customers was to make Monica and other female tailors run 24 hours a day.

By mid-July, the busy studio finally got some breathing time. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot? There were fewer customers who came to order. Now, the work of making clothes was scheduled in the early stage. In this case, Ai Fei finally took out the clothing patterns that had been prepared. In fact, there was nothing to be surprised about, just a women's professional dress that can often be seen in later generations.

However, in the summer of 1952, in this small studio located in Shangcheng District, when Yumiya Iko walked out of the locker room with a shy smile, everyone except Ai Fei still felt dazzling! Yumiya was born with beautiful nature and had healthy and tender and smooth skin that was completely different from Westerners. In addition, her unique and unique Japanese gentle temperament made her win everyone's favor in a short period of time - although she was still not fluent in language mastery, it would not become an obstacle for girls to make friends - she could even gain others' favor than Ai Fei.

This time, the process of making a skirt for her completely showed this. The girls all started to use it. It took only two days to turn the pattern designed by Ai Fei into a real-life clothes: this is a skirt made of breathable, moisture-permeable, elastic Leica-like goose yellow knitted cloth. The design itself is specially tightened, and it can highlight her plump curves and exquisite waist when worn on her body. The design of the bottom is the same. It also shows her upright buttocks in an exaggerated manner. Of course, such a design is really a challenge for Yumiya Jingko, so it is no wonder she has been in the locker room for a long time and is reluctant to come out.

After Ai Fei's third urging, Yu Gong had no choice but to open the door and look out first, like a frightened deer: "No one else." Ai Fei chuckled and said, "And it doesn't matter even if you are worried - are you just wearing it in the studio? You still have to meet people? Come out?"

"Hi!" Yumiya Iko agreed shyly. With a whisper, she slowly walked out of the locker room.

"Wow!" Even though he knew that the clothes were made by himself and others, Monica still made a strange sound at the first time: "Ike, how did you come up with this clothes?"

"Actually nothing." Unlike the surprised expressions of a group of girls, Ai Fei still has a certain psychological resistance to such a clothing style. He walked to Yugong and looked at it a few times: "How do you feel?"

Yumiya pulled the bottom down as much as possible, intending to cover up her plump and smooth thighs, but there was no effect at all, which highlighted her curves: "It seems...is it too tight?"

"No." Ai Fei shook his head intently, and looked at it with his hands in his chest. It always felt a little weird, as if something was wrong: "Well, Yugong, let your hair down."

"Hi!"

With a "bang!", Ai Fei snapped his fingers, watching her cloudy black hair spread on her shoulders, adding a bit of charm to the Japanese girl, and then he became satisfied: "Monica?"

"Yes, Mr. Ike?"

"Let Yumiya take her hair to tidy up. It's too long!"

“Eh?”

"Yes, you heard it." Ai Fei clapped his hands: "Girls? There is another thing I want to tell you about work in the next two months. No, Yugong, this does not require record."

“…”

"Our studio has received a total of more than 1,400 customized clothing requests in the past two months, and with everyone's efforts, all of them have been made. Here, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Miss Monica, Miss Lydia, Miss Helen, Miss Croatia, and Miss Winters! To express my feelings, I will give you a reward of double salary other than normal monthly salary at the end of this month. In other words, the income you can get this month will be three times that of the normal month!"

"Ula!" Several girls looked at each other and cheered at the same time.

"Please listen to me." Ai Fei smiled and waited for a while, and continued: "Someone may have noticed that during this period, many lady customers also went to the studio to request customized clothing, but for some personal reasons, I rejected this part of the request. However, from September this year, the latest no later than October, and the customization of women's clothing will also officially begin. Especially the customization of women's clothing."

He turned around and walked to his desk and took out a thick stack of paper: "This is some of the women's clothes I have designed in recent times. Unlike evening gowns, these clothes are all those that can be used in daily life. Let's take a look at it later. If there is no problem, we will prepare from next week."

"Mr. Ike? Or is it pre-made according to the model's personal figure?"

"I will contact the model. According to my plan, at the end of September this year, an autumn fashion exhibition will be held. Well, this twice-a-year fashion exhibition will be officially announced by major media soon, and the media will be invited to interview and promote as much as possible. In short, it will create an atmosphere: the future development of the fashion industry is guided by Mr. Ike's small studio!"

Before the others present could react to the meaning of his words, the studio door was knocked: "Bang bang! Bang bang!"

Walking over and opening the door, Ai Fei was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Parker...well, there are..."

"Wheeler, William Wheeler!"

"Ah, yes, come in, Mr. Wheeler, oh, and Miss Hepburn."

The few people who came to his studio were Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Parker, William Wheeler and the bearded Mr. Eddie Albert - who seemed to be the role of Parker's assistant.

Ai Fei was a little nervous. He was worried that these people would arrive for the things that he designed for Hepburn and could not pass. However, looking at the faces of several people, it might not bring bad news to him, right?

A few people walked into his small studio and browsed around for a few glances. Soon, their attention was attracted by Yumiya Iko: it was novel enough to have a Japanese like Ai Fei. Now there was a Japanese woman so beautiful, sexy and gentle, which was simply a surprise! And the clothes on her body... needless to ask, they must have been designed and produced by Mr. Ike? Of course, he is a fashion designer himself.

"So, Miss Hepburn, gentlemen? Is there anything wrong with me this time?"

"Yes, this time I came to express our gratitude to Mr. Ike. Our crew is ready to leave and go to Rome. Before leaving, we will express our gratitude to those who have helped us in the early preparation process as usual."

"I understand." Ai Fei bowed slightly: "Actually, what I can do is very limited, especially some special designs. They are just my random thoughts, but they can get the approval of Mr. Wheeler and Miss Hepburn. I should be thankful to you."

William Wheeler bowed and bowed like he was: "You're welcome, this is what it should be."

Several people looked at them saluting each other, and they were both amused. They quickly brought a chair and invited the guests to sit down: "...Mr. Ike, is this the costume you designed?" Parker's eyes fell on Ariki.

"Is that true? This is a gift from my secretary. Sorry, her English skills are not enough to understand your conversation. Yumiya..." He translated the other person's words to her, Yumiya nodded with a smile and bowed to Parker: "Thank you very much." She still can say this sentence in English.

Parker smiled slightly and turned his head over: "Mr. Ike?"

"Yes?"

"Because we couldn't contact you during the preparation period last month, of course, we didn't know until soon after that that you were back in the country."

"Yes, I still have some...work to deal with in the country, so I went back once."

"Ah! Yes, so we found other relevant manufacturers to make the clothing you designed, and of course, according to the drawings you designed."

"I understand." Ai Fei nodded: "As long as you think it's appropriate, I have no other opinion on this issue. Oh, is Miss Hepburn satisfied with the costumes I designed?"

"Eh?" Hepburn seemed to be the kind of person who didn't talk much, and kept listening silently: "Yes, I mean, I like it very much, especially the portrait you made for me."

"You can just like it." Ai Fei smiled and continued to talk to several men: "I also thought about taking this opportunity to cooperate to go to Rome once, but because of some work matters, do you know? Besides, since Mr. Benito was hung upside down in Piazza Loreto (this is joking about Mussolini), there seems to be no Italians who welcome the arrival of the Japanese again. So I gave up this idea."

As he spoke, the group of people raised their mouths at the same time: "It's funny, Mr. Ike, it's funny."
