87 Aftermath (2)

A day later, the second fashion show launched by Ike continued. Unlike last night, the Madison Square Garden was crowded tonight, and after newspaper reports and touting - Ai Fei saw the report written by Mr. Mos five minutes before the opening: "A one cannot be called a refreshing performance!"

At this time, he had no time to appreciate other people's works, so he quickly folded the newspaper and put it aside: "Miss Paston? Miss Paston!?"

"Yes, sir?" Gloria hurriedly ran over: "Sir?"

"You are the first to play tonight, pay attention to the rhythm, and don't be as nervous as the first time yesterday."

Gloria smiled shyly: "Do you know?"

"Yes, I know." A casual reply, Ai Fei's gaze crossed her shoulder: "Hey, Willie, you and Emma are behind Miss Paston."

“…………”

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Willie and Emma took a few steps forward at the same time: "Mr. Ike, can you say a few words to you alone? It only took you 5 minutes."

Intuition told Ai Fei that these two girls would not have any good things to show themselves, and there were still a few minutes left before the opening: "Okay, 5 minutes. Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

The two girls and him are old acquaintances. At that time, these two people, of course, and other girls, were trained and promoted by him. It can be said that they were able to make a fortune in the current fashion industry in New York. It was completely forged by Ai Fei, but it was normal for them to terminate their collaborators with Ai Fei because of some pursuit of a greater future. After all, Ai Fei's fashion development process is quite slow, and several consecutive mistakes and setbacks are simply a matter of giving up, so naturally he can't blame others for finding another way out.

That being said, but these girls felt a little sorry for him. Not to mention that he selected these people from the dance academy and conducted a series of training, it was just out of the position of a friend, and he should not ignore his life and work in the past year, right? So, when Ai Fei contacted them again through the model agency, the girls immediately agreed, but never thought that they would be like such a role - this was almost equivalent to appearing on the show as a foil of Miss Paston.

It was difficult for a few girls to push the problem to Ai Fei, so they naturally chose to use Miss Paston as their enemy. This time they came to Ai Fei for this purpose: "Mr. Ike, we have been looking for an opportunity to say thank you for giving us such an opportunity to show our brightest side to the public."

“4 minutes left.”

"Well, Mr. Ike, we think that your efforts to launch Miss Paston's move have caused great interference to our work, and can be said to have caused us to lose our original leaks and motivation. I think you are also very clear. The modeling industry is becoming a fiercely competitive industry. What is the sudden launch of a supermodel move, you..."

Ai Fei burst out laughing: "Do you think this is just a gimmick? Or do you think the difference between himself and Miss Paston is just a different name? Girls, you underestimate me too much!"

“…?”

"I will explain it to you in less than three minutes. First, the name of supermodel this time is definitely not a gimmick. I want to tell the public something through Miss Paston's existence: fashion is definitely not just a styling platform, but a part of life! I think you have also noticed that Miss Paston's outfit, clothing selection, hairstyle design, even the shoes and bags she wears, are carefully selected, which matches her overall temperament. This is just what she wears today. From tomorrow on, her outfit and similar styles will choose different matching styles. In other words, in life, she also wants to show everyone the characteristics of the modeling profession and their life tastes like on the styling platform."

"Second," Ai Fei sneered: "You think I chose Gloria just because she is my only model? Yes. I admit that there are factors in this regard, but more importantly, girls, she has the hard work and diligence you don't have. I'm curious, after leaving my first failed performance, how long can you calm down and train and operate the basic modeling skills in the past year?"

This problem obviously defeated the two girls, and they all lowered their heads and no one spoke.

"Look? That's the problem! Do you think the model is just taking a few steps on the show, then going off the stage to change into a new outfit and taking a few more steps. It's that simple? Girls, becoming a supermodel is definitely not just making some changes to the name! You still have some learnings!" At this point, he paused: "Okay, if you have any questions, we'll communicate when the show is over. Now, girls, prepare to go on stage."

Unlike the dresses displayed in the last performance and spring and summer fashion, most of the women's clothing exhibited tonight were dressed in spring, summer and autumn. The first one was Gloria, dressed in denim. She appeared alone in the middle of the show, wearing low-key but very pleasing to the eye and fully displaying leg lines. The strong elastic fabric and tight design made the jeans drag the jeans no longer a misunderstanding that only men can choose in the traditional sense.

In terms of color, the combination of plain jeans and white and shiny tight short suits also added a sense of tension and relaxation to the opening of this time. Gloria walked to the center of the stage and suddenly stopped, her beautiful long hair whipped slightly, making a freeze-shaped e. Then, she shook her head and walked forward.

It would be fine if others were to go out, but the reporters in the audience complained: Anyone with some photography experience knows that no good work can be photographed by a sign posing, but a kind of shooting that flashes of inspiration to achieve the effect that satisfies herself and readers. But her appearance is like this, and when she appears with visual impact, she wastes her film. When she looks at other people, she looks annoyed! It is obvious that they missed it!

The action Gloria just made was a choice she and Ai Fei made after research and discussion. She had an S-shaped design, but Miss Gloria was too thin. Ai Fei just took a look and immediately stopped this action - he didn't want to turn the pre-preparation and grandly launched supermodels into a joke! So he chose this action. The abbreviation is sfbsp; models such as Willie and Emma could see clearly in the passage behind, and they were both jealous and resentful: No need to ask, this is definitely Mr. Ike's creativity! He can always add such a novel and exaggerated body movement to the environment and habitual movements that people are already familiar with! It's so depressing!

Gloria walked down the passage with a cold face in warm applause, and her cold expression disappeared immediately: "Mr. Ike? Did you hear it?"

Ai Fei smiled: "I think even the girls waiting for news in the brand house can hear it! Well done. Miss Paston, well done!"

“Eh?”

"I'm praising you in Japanese and saying you've done a good job."

"Hehe!" Gloria smiled sincerely: "This is all your help."

"Okay, there's no time to be happy now, there's still a show next!"

"Yes, sir!"

One of the highlights of the performance on the second day of Fashion Week was that Ai Fei had promised Carl to launch his works on the market. Such good news made young people from Germany nervous and excited: "Mr. Ike?"

"Are you nervous?" Ai Fei smiled and raised his head: "No, this is your moment! Compared to me, you who are of the same European descent are more recognized by the market! So..."

“Eh?”

"It's nothing. Please wait." As he said that, Ai Fei slowly walked through the passage and stopped Gloria who was about to appear: "Wait a minute!" In the surprised eyes of everyone, he picked up the microphone stand that he had prepared early and walked onto the T-shaped platform.

The guests in the audience were also waiting: Under normal circumstances, one or two models will come out soon. What happened today? Why are you going to have an intermission again? It seems that there is no time yet? At this moment, Ai Fei walked onto the station: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!"

After more than a year of setbacks, failures, successes, and the performance that made people feel bloody last night, Ai Fei is already very familiar with Americans. Knowing that this handsome and short-sized young man is an oriental designer who has brought huge impacts to New York, the United States, and the world's fashion industry again and again. When a young guest saw him appearing in the center of the stage, he immediately cheered: "Mr. Ike?"

Ai Fei smiled and waved his hand to the place where the sound was made: "Thank you, thank you, well, I just couldn't hear what you were saying."

"Haha..." A burst of chuckles came from the guests' seat.

"Thank you very much for everyone's arrival. According to my understanding of the clothing and fashion industry, some of the reckless and immature designs have been recognized by countless people. In addition to my efforts and a little luck, more are recognized by the people of a diverse country like the United States that embrace the world with an open mind. Here, on behalf of me and the staff of Ike Company, I would like to say thank you to all those who support me and my designs!"

Americans are a very arrogant nation. Whenever there is praise from others, especially from foreign countries or foreign nations, it will cause a very violent reaction! This time is no exception. As he spoke, the applause and cheers turned the roof over!

Ai Fei waited for the lively noise to cool down a little. Then he continued: "Thank you. From the first failure to today's success, it is inseparable from the help and support of the staff in Ike Company. In addition, the emergence of designers' inspiration is also providing a continuous source for my design. Tonight, here, I would like to solemnly introduce Mr. Carl Schmidt of Ike Company, a young man from Germany! Of course, it seems absurd to call him a young man by my age!"

Amid a chuckle, Ai Fei turned his body towards the direction of the passage: "Ladies and gentlemen, designers from Germany, Mr. Carl Schmidt!"

He was so popular that Carl would hide behind him, so he quickly tidied up his suit and walked out of the passage. The applause from the audience turned into a sincere welcome to the designer from Europe.

Carl smiled awkwardly and stood beside Ai Fei: "Mr. Carl Schmidt is the biggest and most commendable part of the field of clothing design. He has made a subversive change in the obscure and solemn dressing styles that many people think of as Germanic people. After a while, you can appreciate the wild and unrestrained design concepts mixed with classical and modern design styles!"

“…and the main thing is that Carl’s work always makes me feel that the salary he pays for him every week is worth the money.”

"Hahahaha!" A huge laughter rang out in the performance venue. Amid the laughter and applause, Ai Fei and Carl walked down the passage: "Miss Paston?"

Unlike the clothing that Ai Fei has as feminine as possible in design, the calm and inquiry side of Carl's German personality is also shown through some of his own neutral designs. The tight leather skirt design of Gloria and the female model behind her is very eye-catching with the top design of men's suit style. Not only does it show off her charm, but the sexy new image of neutral and transparent lou also creates a unique temperament label.

Sandra's exaggerated leather pants and tops also puts the hard side of the female personality in front of the guests, adding a part of the sunshine that is not a man to the performance tonight.

As the performance went on, more and more applause rang among the guests.

Carl lowered his head slightly and stared at Ai Fei standing in front of him. He seemed to want to bow to him like a Japanese to express his gratitude, but he couldn't learn it. Instead, he seemed to be punched hard on his lower abdomen. In Ai Fei's opinion, it was awkward no matter how he looked: "You should not learn our lifestyle anymore. You can't learn it."

Carl smiled helplessly: "Mr. Ike, I just want to express my gratitude to you. It's not because you launched my works at this fashion show, but because... you gave me a lot of confidence. It turns out that I can really become a designer!"

"Carl, if I want to talk about this, I think I need your understanding."

"What?"

"Give you an opportunity to show your works. I have promised you since you first entered the company. Taking advantage of such an opportunity is just a coincidence. But in my opinion, this time it was just a use of your design."

“…………”

"That's right. Now you and I are the only ones who are designers in the company. Although there will not be any big problems in the production and design of clothing, this situation still needs to be changed more thoroughly for the long-term consideration of the company. Do you agree with my opinion?"

"Yes, I agree, but what does this have to do with what you said about using me?"

“Well, by launching your work and showing it to the audience at a fashion show, in addition to receiving financial benefits, a larger part of the role is to make some designers who would have been difficult to get similar opportunities discover a channel. The same channel for displaying their works!”

Carl immediately understood: "You mean, through Ike Company as a channel for them to show their abilities?"

"It's almost like that." Ai Fei nodded: "The so-called similarity means that there must be recommended clothing and market-recognized designs."

Carl didn't expect that there were so many secrets hidden behind giving himself an important opportunity. He lowered his head and pondered for a while: "What if more people came to Ike Company? I mean, what if your design this time was recognized by more people?"

"That's of course the best situation. And I think the possibility of achieving such a goal is very high! Think about it, anyone who asks about their confidence in their abilities will want to have a stage to show themselves! Isn't it? And I am the one who provides them with such a platform!"

"but?"

"Behind this door of society, there is a bright and shining future! Imagine, Carl, how many people want to fight to break through this door? Even you are pursuing such a bright and shining future?"

If someone thinks the author is well written, please support the genuine version. By the way, the second volume will be over soon. Starting from the third volume, Ai Fei's work center will become a state of running between Japan and the United States.
