An interview with vogue magazine was also a helpless move. Benjamin called Ai Fei to make an appointment before Thanksgiving. However, at that time, he was anxious about the process of the factory, and the second was to be responsible for the problems caused by the rotation of personnel on the brand house. The third was that he had no interest in accepting interviews from Americans, so this matter was dragged down until December when the factory's production gradually entered the off-season, and he officially agreed and came to vogue magazine.

He also had an unspeakable purpose in accepting an interview. That is, he hopes that through this interview and publishing, his studio's influence in the United States will be increased. "Vogue" is the best choice for all readers who are interested in fashion! The design of clothing products increases sales secondly. The most important thing is that he hopes that by publishing an exclusive interview with him, the current lack of staff in the studio can be solved! If one or several young people who love clothing design are interested in their studios and come here to invest, it will be of great help.

In the office on the 20th floor of the vogue magazine publishing house, a girl wearing a dress designed by Ai Fei walked in with a smile and placed two cups of coffee on the desk: "Mr. Benjamin? The coffee you want."

"Thank you, Miss Anne, you can go out. Oh, if Mr. Benfica comes, please inform me."

"Yes, sir." The secretary nodded and walked out of the office.

Two smiles popped up on Benjamin's face: "How do you feel when you see the clothes you designed on a stranger?"

“…………”

"Please forgive me for being a curious person, my heart is very strong! Although I am a person who can often deal with designers, I am not a designer myself, so I am still a little curious about people like Mr. Ike."

Ike habitually pinched the bridge of his nose: "In fact, there is no special feeling. For me, designing clothes, then turning them from drawings to finished products, and then selling them is just a means of making a living. There is no difference in essence from other operators operating large machinery. As for what you said, I'm sorry, I don't have a special feeling."

"Is that?" Benjamin smiled bitterly: "Maybe, my question is not very appropriate, right? Then, Mr. Ike is very grateful to you for being able to come to vogue magazine for our interview. Our interview will officially begin later. Do you have any special needs?"

"No, no. Just follow the process we agreed on."

"Okay. Please come with me." Under Benjamin's guidance, the two walked into the conference room next to the office, where two younger men were waiting. Benjamin introduced them: "Mr. Dwight Grant, senior editor of vogue magazine, and his assistant Mr. Benny Trace. Gentlemen, this is Mr. Ike, our interview guest for this issue."

Several people shook hands, and Ai Fei looked at the two people seriously. Interviewed his man, the senior editor named Dwight, with a national-shaped face, and his stern face looked unrestrained. Unlike him, his assistant was a very handsome and handsome American guy with a very beautiful chin with a shave and long sideburns, which made people easily reminded of Elvis's look.

He was looking at these two people, and the two were also looking at him. The name Ike is definitely not unfamiliar to those engaged in this fashion industry and related industries. During Valentine's Day, he launched a T-shaped station, model, and the unique cat walk that can fully display the characteristics of women's bodies all caused great responses in New York and the United States. It can be said that it completely changed the process of the fashion industry! Unfortunately, he chose the wrong time, wrong place, and wrong way to launch it, so that people's attention was focused on the accessories of clothing, but few people noticed the evening dresses he designed. This was his first failure.

A few months later, he launched a full set of men's clothing display. Unlike the last time, this time he completely abandoned the female models that caused heated discussions and were receiving widespread attention, and instead used all male models to perform. Although the results were much better than the last time, he still made a principled mistake.

Then there was a display in early October. After nearly half a year of dormant, this mysterious young man from the East finally conquered the entire New York with his works, and then the entire United States! The women's clothing he designed caused a rush to buy as soon as it was launched in two major stores in New York. No need to consider anything else. Just look at how many women in professional skirts work in the building of "Vogue" magazine, you can know a rough trend. In other cities outside of New York

, all the cities with Macy's and Windsors' branches are also lively scenery. It is said that the women's clothing department's unit performance has increased by 34 percentage points compared to the clothing he designed before it was launched! And his factory is said to be full of trucks waiting for pickup all day long, and it is a busy scenery. And all of this is actually a myth created by the young man standing in front of him! This can be said to be the perfect and realistic standard version of the American Dream!

After looking at it for a long time, Dwight waved his hand: "Mr. Ike, please sit down."

Several people sat down separately, Dwight winked at Benny, the young man took the paper and pen and spread it in front of him: "Mr. Ike, can we start?"

"Yes, let's start."

"Mr. Ike, many people just know your success in the field of clothing design. They are ignorant of your situation, your family's situation, and even before you came to the United States. Can we satisfy our curiosity in this regard? Why not start with your name? Ike, is your name more special or is it the Japanese name like this? "

"Actually, my real name is Ai Fei." This was the first time Ai Fei was louing his name in front of Americans, and he felt a little strange in his heart: "Ike is a name I thought of for myself on a passenger ship coming to your country. After all, after arriving in the United States, I was still called Ai Fei, or Mr. Ai Fei, which felt more troublesome. So I thought of this name. As for my family, I can actually finish it in just a few words, including father, mother, and me."

"That's it?" Dwight was stunned: "This seems too simple, right?"

"Haha..." Ai Fei smiled slightly: "Do you still think it's very troublesome? That's what it is."

"What about your experience? It shouldn't be like the family situation, just like the one in a few words, right?"

"In fact, there are not many experiences to say. When I was in Japan, I was not engaged in clothing design. This is an easy thing to understand. In the East, there is no such mature market environment as in the West. Even if I have a lot of design concepts and design products, and I can even make them into finished products, there will be no such large market to digest them. So, I came to the United States."

Dwight had a clear hairline and seemed to be rising black gas on his head: What's going on? He wasn't trying to make trouble with himself on purpose, right? Why did it end every time so short?

Ai Fei and Benny waited for a while, but he stopped asking again: "…………”

"Mr. Grant?"

"Ah, yes." Dwight reluctantly curled his emotions and continued to ask: "Many people know that it was the first time you brought models and the stage to New York through an unprecedented new situation. Could you please ask, did you think this new form was the original meaning of the clothing that guests ignored when you were in Japan? Oh, there is another question. Do you think the failure of the Valentine's Day fashion show was because of over-displaying the existence of models and causing the guests to ignore?"

"As for models, I just want to use a new step to highlight the curvature of women's bodies. It should be said that I thought about it on the passenger ship to your country. As for the first time during Valentine's Day, I admit that you said that too many models attracted the attention of guests and caused the clothing to be ignored. This is one reason, and another reason is that the selection and arrangement of evening dresses seem very inappropriate now. As I later discovered, fashion should be a kind of clothing product that can be worn in daily life, in family, and in friends' gatherings. Evening dresses, due to the defects in occasions, are destined not to become popular clothing. With these two reasons, even if I used the launch method that many designers used before me, the results will not change much."

"Do you mean that even if you have changed to a very ordinary way of performing such a show, it will be like this now?"

"About yes. Specifically, I can't make assumptions."

"So, the next question, Mr. Ike, what do you think will be the final result at your second fashion show?"

"The biggest failure of the second fashion show compared to the first time is overkill! After two months, the audience's interest in female models has not diminished. However, in my fashion show, I completely use male models to perform. Although the market reaction in the later stage has improved a little compared to the first time, it is far from what I expected."

"This situation has been completely changed when it comes to the third fashion show, that was in early October, right? What do you feel after two failures?"

"I can't lie and say I don't like this feeling, but you also know that I'm the only one in my studio. Too much work makes me not have a lot of time and experience to consider the joy of success, so I have to continue to fall into the hardship of too much work."

"Yes. We know that Ike Studios has only you as a designer. Does this work situation put a lot of pressure on you?"

"This is unquestionable." Ai Fei nodded with a sigh: "Studio design, factory production, and brand house management often affect my design, and the most important thing is that this kind of frequent interruption of ideas is a headache for a designer."

Dwight looked at his depressed expression and found it funny. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and quickly restrained himself: "So, why don't you consider finding someone with more experience and potential to join you?"

"I have also posted some similar recruitment categories but not many people cater to it. Maybe it is still not acceptable for them to work for a Japanese, right?" Ai Fei scratched his head with a wry smile: "But I think that as long as people go through the initial stage and when people realize the existence of my design, this situation will change."

Dwight and Benny exchanged a wink: "Mr. Ike, can you ask you a question about anything other than work?"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"When many people see you, they can always see Yu, Miya, I, Zi, and Ms.... Is she called this name? Can you tell us about her?"

"Why, are there many people who are also interested in Aiguchi?"
