George Wilkes is sitting in the lobby of the hotel with a slightly nervous look. Today is likely to be the day to change his career. Everything is happening too fast. He has no time to do psychological construction at all. After arriving at the hotel, he has entered a long waiting period. It's really hard to restrain his nervous mood.
He kept looking towards the door. The lush Central Park formed a beautiful arc in the night, outlining the unique beauty of New York City. But he didn't have the heart to enjoy it. Then he saw the target character.
That's Langley.
George nervously adjusted his tie to make sure it wasn't crooked. Then he stood up, but he couldn't make it. Standing next to him was the famous Tom Ford. Tom had a look of interest on his face and had a good talk with him; On the other side of Langley is Eaton, a famous stylist, but for George, it is Bole who knows what is right.
The group stopped in the middle of the hotel lobby. Tom said something, then turned around and left. Langley and others stepped forward again. George knew that his opportunity had come, and his brain didn't have time to think, so he quickly stepped forward. Breathe, breathe... He kept reminding himself, breathe.
"Lan Li." George's voice blurted out, but because his throat was a little tight, his voice was not very loud, but a little difficult.
But blue Li still stopped, cast a polite line of sight.
"How can I introduce myself?" George was in a daze.
"This is George Wilkes." Eaton made a brief introduction, "he just created his own brand not long ago and is a new potential stock."
Langley nodded with a smile, but before George could say hello, Eaton went on, "don't stand here chatting, go upstairs and talk in detail."
George closed his mouth, followed them step by step, and took the elevator up the stairs. The dark red carpet paved the whole corridor. It was quiet and serene. People could not help but slow down their breathing. But after entering the room, George felt what luxury was. Just the living room was half the size of a basketball court. At this time, four golden gantry frames were placed in the right-hand space, There are all kinds of suits on it, which makes the whole space narrow.
George stood carefully in the living room and gave a restrained glance. Burberry, Tom Ford, Dior, Armani, Paul Smith... There are all kinds of designs of different levels and styles. He scanned them in a hurry, but he didn't see where his designs were hanging. This afternoon, he entrusted his assistant to deliver them, Maybe it's hidden inside.
George's mood is more and more nervous, just a glance at the gantry, you can feel the fierce competition, want to get out of the siege, difficult to ascend the sky.
It's not just George, it's Andy who's an eye opener. Andy is not surprised by these clothes. As Harrison Ford's agent and senior agent of innovative artists agency, he has seen more grand and grand scenes; What surprised him was Eaton's ability.
As a newcomer with unstable foundation, it's almost impossible for Langley to win the favor of these big brands directly, unless he completes the triple jump of the fashion circle overnight, just like Karl Lagerfeld's appointment of Blake Lively. But at this moment, the clothes placed on the front gantry are iron facts, proving the importance of stylists.
From the style and design of the clothes on today's gantry, Eaton's contacts and ability are still above Melvin brades. For Lan Li, it's really rare.
"Let's start now. There's not much time left until midnight. I don't want to see the tragedy of wolf king's transformation." Said Eaton playfully.
It's no secret that Langley is sleepy.
The famous "boar incident" of Eton public school in those years originated from the fact that the dormitory administrator made a round of rooms at midnight three times in a week before that. He turned on the lights of all rooms and checked them one by one. As a result, he angered Lan Li, who was asleep, and created a tragedy. It is still a legend in the school.
Lanli didn't care about such ridicule. He went to the center of the hall, waiting for Eaton's evaluation.
Eaton stepped forward and, according to the usual practice of Saville street, raised and stretched lanli's hands, and then used a tape measure to have a simple understanding of the size of each detail. In addition to the basic data, the neck circumference, wrist, forearm, calf and other seemingly unrelated data were also recorded.
George looks at Andy and Matthew sitting on the sofa. He hesitates for a moment and stands on the other side of the hall, watching their work from a distance. George knows that a truly top-level customized suit must be completely meticulous. The quality of a detail may affect the overall quality.
At the end of the survey, Eaton went to the gantry and began to select carefully. "Otherwise, let's start with George?" Since the designer is here, it's better to try it on and change it directly.
George immediately stepped forward to get ready to work, but before he could get to the gantry, there was a knock at the door. George looked at the other people in the room and was stunned for half a second. Anyway, he was standing in the corridor at the entrance, so he said, "I'll open the door."
It was Burberry's man who came in. I could tell from the conversation that it was Christopher Bailey's assistant.
After a bit of polite greeting, naturally, Langley started to try it on from Burberry, while the assistant stood by and adjusted the size of the dress with a pin to ensure the best effect.
Before Burberry's fitting was over, someone came again. This time, it was Paul Smith's marketing director in New York. The scene became noisy again, and then it was Paul Smith's turn to try on.
George feels like an outsider. He also wants to get involved. He also knows that this is a golden opportunity. He also knows that these people are related to the fashion industry. He also knows that tonight's meeting is crucial. If he can meet these people, his road as a designer will be much smoother. However, he did not know what to do and how to start. He could not even interrupt, let alone talk freely.
He is such a nobody, just like a little transparent general, there is no sense of existence.
After continuously trying on 25 suits, the clock had already bought the midnight level, and lanli felt a little tired. Changing clothes is actually a physical work, which is lanli's most real understanding.
Just now all try on, the best effect is Tom Ford.
The Golden Globe awards are different from the Oscars and Emmys. They emphasize more entertainment, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. Some people even wear motorcycle leather jackets on the stage. The actors also let go and compete with each other, even compared with the actresses.
Tom Ford's design is more bold and fashionable, but at the same time, it retains the simple lines, especially the shoulder line, chest line and waist line, revealing the designer's consistent sexy.
This kind of suit appeared in the Oscar, too much publicity; But on the Golden Globe, it was just right.
"Do you want to try again?" Eaton put his hands on his chest and asked, "or are you going to be here for the night? And tomorrow? "
Hearing this, George's heart jumped to his throat, and the whole person was tense. He waited here for three hours without saying a word. Would he have to wait until tomorrow?
He didn't mind waiting, but what if Langley decided not to try again tomorrow and chose Tom Ford? He didn't even have the chance to show himself, so he was eliminated directly? Should he take the initiative to fight for it? What should he say to let Lan Li stay?
"George?" There was a call in his ear. Tired and a little hoarse, he suddenly raised his head. Then he saw the sight of blue Li, "Eaton is waiting for you."
George's mood suddenly soared up. On the gantry beside Eaton's hand, it was his suit. "Of course, of course." George walked forward quickly, "these three sets are my designs, inspired by you, emphasizing simple lines..."
"Slow down." Langley was dumbfounded, and George realized that he was too eager and excited to speak much faster than usual, just like a machine gun, which made him feel embarrassed and unable to laugh“ You just said, "these three sets of clothes are designed by me?"
Lanli thinks this is ridiculous. So far, he has only two works. The "Pacific War" is broadcast on cable TV for a fee, and the video has not been released so far, so the audience is really limited“ "Buried alive" is a small-scale public show, and the exhibition venues are very limited. After all, the excitement of the news is only spread among the audience who care about the film. After the nomination list of the Golden Globe award comes out, even many people wonder who "Langley hall" is.
His popularity is the most, that is, the level of a third tier actor. How can anyone complete the design inspired by him?
George's cold humor is worth affirming.
"Yes." George nodded and said with certainty, "after watching the Pacific War, I was deeply impressed by the role of Eugene sledge. Later, I watched the tubing videos of your two singles and got some inspiration to design these three suits. It's tailor-made for you, and I don't think anyone can wear the true essence of these three suits except you. "
George's eyes sparkled with excitement, sincerity and firmness, which made Langley stunned and turned to look at Eaton.
But Eaton shrugged with a smile, as if to say: my choice is not random.
The corner of lanli's mouth rose slightly. "My pleasure. I can't wait to see what the design is for me. "
