We set off from the West Coast at around 8 a.m. and arrived in New York. It was already around 3 p.m. on the East Coast.
This is the fourth day of the seven-day New York Fashion Week.
When we arrived at the apartment on Fifth Avenue by car, Sofia Feisi also rushed over at the same time. The woman came to New York at the opening of Fashion Week last week. While taking care of the fashion shows of Melisandre's brands such as CK, she mainly wanted to be in person in person. Take control of last Saturday's Melisandre New York Fashion Week brand party promotion event.
Melisandre's subsidiaries in the United States are mainly CK, as well as several other small niche brands. However, the sales of all Melisandre's brands in the United States account for more than 30% of the group's total sales. Therefore, although brands such as Gucci, Versace, Burberry and other brands will not hold fashion shows in the United States, Melisandre's interest in Promotional marketing activities in North America have always been very important.
The two of them had been busy for many days in a row. After meeting, they made a tacit agreement not to talk about work immediately. They took a long bath with Simon, hugged each other and rested briefly on the big bed. In the blink of an eye, dusk fell.
The lights were not turned on, reflecting the last light of the evening. Sofia, who was only wearing a close-fitting pink nightgown, helped Simon button up his shirt and let the man's hands roam between her curves. Her voice was soft but a little angry. Meaning: "I have to settle accounts with Janet when I go to Los Angeles tomorrow. I couldn't spend their first birthday with Snow and Green, so there's nothing I can do about it. I will definitely be disliked if I go to Melbourne. However, they didn't even remind you, That’s intentional.”
Last month, August 18th, was the first birthday of Snow and Greenwich, both of whom were born to Sophia.
Simon occasionally remembered at first that when the incident came to an end, he forgot about it because he was too busy. As a result, the two little guys arrived in Melbourne on the second day of their birthdays. At this time, when Sophia mentioned it, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "Why don't you just come to me directly?" Let’s settle the accounts, I really forgot.”
The main reason is that I have never been sensitive to things like birthdays.
Not only did he rarely celebrate birthdays in his previous life, but even his current self has been very unfamiliar with birthdays since he was a child. In fact, Simon is not so sensitive to all the festivals in this world, because these have been in the past for many years. It has nothing to do with 'him'.
Sophia helped Simon fasten the last button, raised her head to look at him, and suddenly came over to kiss Simon with some pity, and said softly: "I don't blame you, I only looked for Jenny, she knew you... and deliberately If you didn’t remind me and then deliberately told me that you didn’t attend Snow’s birthday party, you were just having bad intentions.”
"Okay, you can settle the score, but remember not to fight."
Sofia rolled her eyes at Simon, and suddenly asked quickly: "When is Melbourne's birthday?"
Simon paused, and seeing Sophia's eager look, he quickly replied: "Probably, March 13th, um, no, it's Jenny's birthday."
"I don't even know whether I should be angry or not. You don't remember Moore's birthday, but you can blurt out Jenny's birthday."
"Actually, your... Well, let me think about it."
"Don't think about it," Sofia glared at him: "We won't talk about this topic anymore, you go down first."
Simon did not leave, looking at the woman in front of him in the dim light, who was still well-maintained and graceful: "Since you are helping me get dressed, I will also help you."
"don't want."
But Simon got interested. He has always been used to taking off women's clothes, but he hasn't helped to put them on yet. He must try this. So I was busy again. If I didn't have arrangements later, I almost didn't plan to leave the bedroom.
The two of them went downstairs together, dinner was ready.
The housekeeper Angora Davis personally served dinner to the two of them. Occasionally she glanced at Sophia's radiant and rosy face, and she couldn't help but feel envious.
After chatting about the recent trivial matters and ending a warm dinner, it was already approaching eight o'clock in the evening.
There is a fashion show at 8:30 tonight. I have made an appointment in advance to go to it and attend the after-party afterwards.
This is a small brand that Melisandre quietly acquired at the beginning of the year, so it doesn’t matter if you participate in this show or not. However, the most important thing for men and women to be together is to find common things and topics. This is the key to long-term relationship. After all, not just anyone can have that tacit understanding of talking to each other without saying a word but being able to understand each other from heart to heart.
After leaving her apartment on Fifth Avenue and rushing to Bryant Park in the car, Sophia talked about the brand she was participating in this show: "A brand created by a Chinese woman, named Anna Sui, started with makeup products in the 1980s. It was only in 1991 that I started to get involved in the fashion field and held my first fashion show. The design style is very avant-garde and alternative, so it has always been relatively niche."
After Melisandre's two "aircraft carrier battle groups" were formed, Simon no longer interfered too much in the subsequent development, and this kind of mini-merger would not attract much attention from him.
However, when Sophia mentioned it at this time, Simon still said: "Avant-garde, alternative, doesn't this coincide with CK?"
"Of course not. To be precise, CK is avant-garde and bold, while Anna Sui is alternatively gorgeous. You will understand after you take a look."
Simon nodded, a little more curious.
Sophia continued: "Actually, the reason for acquiring this brand is mainly because of this designer. Anna is a very tough woman, just like many Chinese. She is 41 years old this year and graduated from Parsons in the 1970s. After graduating from the design school, she has been pursuing her own career. She initially used a rented apartment as a studio and relied on working as a hairstylist as a subsidy. She persisted for more than ten years before making a breakthrough in the late 1980s. And until now, Anna is still a He is a workaholic and works seven days a week and more than ten hours a day. When I first learned about this, I felt that it was definitely right to invest in a company with such a designer.”
Simon nodded along.
After reviewing my memory a little, I found that the Anna Sui brand still has a relatively strong presence more than ten or twenty years later, and I couldn't help but agree with Sophia's judgment.
In the field of fashion, whether it is first-tier brands such as Gucci, Dior, and Chanel, or second-tier brands such as Anna Sui, Chloé, and Donna Karen, they are all the result of decades or hundreds of waves in the fashion industry. In the process, countless ambitious people want to impact. The brands at the top of the fashion pyramid have all been photographed dead on the beach. For most brands, surviving for more than ten years is a kind of success. As for those that survive for more than a hundred years, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a miracle.
Since Anna Sui can still appear in Simon's memory many years later, regardless of whether the other party is an alternative niche, this brand is enough to be called outstanding.
The success behind excellence is never easy.
This is Anna Sui's first public appearance after being acquired by Melisandre, and it is also a very important marketing promotion. Therefore, compared to the previous ones, the tents rented for the show this time are better than other brands holding shows tonight. It is much bigger, and has been fully upgraded in terms of models and guests.
In order to make it relatively easy for this brand to obtain more media coverage, even the date of today's show was specially selected. In the second half of New York Fashion Week, many big brands have already concluded their shows in the previous weekend. Coupled with Melisandre's ability to control media resources, there are not many brands that can compete with Anna Sui for attention.
Of course, after all, it is a mini coffee with an annual turnover of only 20 million US dollars. Even if Melisandre is given extraordinary resources this time because of the first public promotion after the acquisition, it will not be too much after all. The attendance of the two Simons was entirely out of curiosity. Some news may spread among small circles, but it will not appear in the public media.
Entering the show through the backstage of the tent, a short round-faced black-haired woman wearing a black trench coat came to greet her personally. It was Anna Sui herself. When the other party saw Simon, she showed an expression of obvious disbelief, and for a moment she forgot to talk to Sofia. Saying hello, the assistant-looking girl following Anna Su opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth involuntarily.
Sofia had to take the initiative to 'wake up' the two of them and made a silent gesture. .
Anna Sui finally reacted, tentatively raised her hand, shrank for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to reach out to the young man in front of her for the second time: "You... Hello, Mr. Westeros, I am Anna. "
Simon shook hands with the other party gently: "Hello, Anna, can you take us to the front desk? Also, I hope you don't mind that I brought two followers temporarily."
"Of course, of course no problem," Anna Sui nodded quickly, glanced at the two black bodyguards following Westeros, made a gesture of invitation, and said sideways: "Mr. Westeros , come here.”
Naturally, you have to go through the backstage to go to the front desk. There are dozens of staff and models preparing for the show. The news cannot be concealed. Soon everyone in the venue knew about Simon's arrival, and the entire show began to become restless. , if he hadn't seen Sophia walking with him, several big goblins who were close to Simon would have definitely come forward.
No wonder these people are like this.
Anyone who thinks of the wealth, power and even a series of auras that make people look up at the name Simon Westeros has a hard time staying calm, because this means that the other party can easily make everyone present think of heaven. One thought of hell.
This is actually a terrifying power that is not manifest but is enough to break the will of too many people.
Just like, for most of the non-mainstream models who are about to take the stage, if they can be spotted by Simon Westeros tonight, it will be a step to the sky. For many guests at the front desk, if they can get a connection with Simon Westeros, they can support them until they die even if the other party loses a hair.
For reporters tonight... well, reporters didn't stand a chance.
When Westeros took Sofia Fessi to sit down, before they could take pictures, staff members had already stepped forward to remind them of certain things, and then they could only obey obediently. After all, not to mention the media reporters at the scene, even those behind the scenes The big boss, even if he has no direct interest in the Westeros system, but after thinking about the fate of the Hearst family, he would not dare to provoke the other party at will.
As for these little minions, if they don't follow the rules, they will lose their jobs in a matter of minutes.
Not to mention, most of the current media are actually inextricably linked to the Westeros system. For example, Fashion TV, which records live videos, is completely a TV media under Daenerys Entertainment.
This is the state of mind of two people. Coupled with the tempering of these years, Simon has been able to calm down this kind of restlessness caused by himself. Together with Sophia, the two people in the last row of the terrace at the end of the T stage will not be photographed by the camera. He sat down at a location with a good view and admired the layout of the show and the guests in the front row with great interest.
The show is nothing special. After all, where the budget is, it is impossible to use a castle as the show this year like Gucci, who is the core of Melisandre's "aircraft carrier battle group".
The guests were quite interesting.
The first is Yasmin Gehry, the 'waist cum' who has retired. I just saw Nadja Orman, the 'leg cum' backstage.
The two women still maintain some kind of relationship with Simon, but they have become closer because of Simon's constant pinching, and they have basically established a pair of lace partners. The two big fairies have also settled in San Francisco, which is the most tolerant to homosexuals. Last week Simon I didn’t see it, just because Nadja did not retire like Yasmin, but continued her fashion career.
Secondly, there was Cathy Hilton with her two daughters Paris and Nikki. She noticed Simon’s gaze, and the mother and daughter responded with their eyes. Last time, Simon said that the Hall family liked her more than her sister. Nicky Hilton, the younger sister, shyly and quietly waved her little hand towards Simon.
Then there were three girls, the one with spectacular breasts was obviously Christina Hendricks, and the three girls were obviously the 'Ordinary Girls' Internet celebrity girl group that Grace had created based on Simon's suggestion.
With the strong support of Elite and their own proper operation strategies, the three girls have become a very successful group of Internet celebrities on the Internet platform.
According to the later model, Internet celebrities and fashion weeks are also very suitable partners for mutually beneficial cooperation. Simon didn't mention anything about this, but Grace obviously discovered this without any knowledge.
The three girls were secretly looking at Simon, but when they saw the man looking at them, they all looked away with guilt or reserve. Simon also noticed that Christina Hendricks seemingly unintentionally crossed her arms and folded her hands under her breasts, expanding her two attractive and thrilling balls.
Finally, the obvious finale of tonight’s guests, Madonna.
Queen Mai didn't care about the face of her boyfriend, a fitness instructor who had given birth to a child for her. She winked at Simon and even blew a kiss. If the catwalk hadn't started right away, I would have definitely come over to talk to him.
Simon smiled at Queen Mai and asked Sophia beside him: "Why is Maggie here?"
Sofia also smiled back at Madonna who was waving, and then explained: "She and Anna have known each other for a long time, and we have worn several sets of clothes designed by Anna in the past few years. Of course, this time it was Anna's suggestion, and I invited someone to .”
"Is it expensive?"
When big names and celebrities attend fashion shows, unless they are the top brands that can enhance each other's style and increase exposure, they usually have to pay appearance fees. What's more, given Madonna's status as a celebrity, even if she knows Anna Sui but has not a certain relationship, she will not easily attend such a small brand fashion show even if she is paid.
Sophia nodded: "$50,000, a friendly price, because Maggie happens to be living in Manhattan during this time, so she is willing to come over."
now it's right.
Simon scanned the circle again. Madonna, the pop queen, was in the lineup, plus the TV stars Hilton Family and the Internet celebrity girl group, as well as the 'Waist Jing' who rarely appeared in public after retiring. Not to mention the other people in the front row that Simon was not very familiar with. Other celebrity guests, these alone are already a pretty good guest lineup.
Moreover, the price/performance ratio is very high.
After all, Madonna only received 50,000 yuan, so the Hilton family and the internet celebrity girl group must have just wanted to do it, and the waist ejaculation was probably just to cheer up the leg ejaculation.
With this in mind, the staff reminded that the catwalk was about to begin, the lights dimmed, and the waiting music soon started.
Rock-style soundtracks are rare.
As soon as the catwalk exits, models appear. No surprise, the opening scene is Nadja, who has a pair of insanely long legs.
Moreover, just the first set of deep red or blood red dress with dense flower embroidery and bead chain tassels completely matched Sophia's evaluation when she arrived. It was alternative, gorgeous, full of visual impact, and almost It is said to be completely contrary to the current trend of bright and simple fashion design style.
Not only that, the smoky makeup and messy hairstyle of the legs on stage, as well as the retro agate accessories on the neck, arms and ankles, made the girl look full of enchantment, like a witch.
Simon looked at the shape of the legs and casually glanced at the stands on both sides. He found that the guests were obviously not familiar with this kind of design style. They either looked surprised or whispered to each other.
On the stage, after the goblin turned around, a second 'witch' appeared.
This is Linda Evangelista.
Linda's quirky personal style is very consistent with the Anna Sui brand. The girl wears a short sleeveless skirt with dark blue tones and pop-style graffiti. She wears over-the-knee high boots, which are equally enchanting and stunning.
Sophia leaned into Simon's ear and whispered in the introduction: "I talked with Anna and let her use her own ideas. This is the result. In fact, if you look at it carefully, it's quite beautiful, isn't it?"
Simon nodded: "Yeah, but I don't think there are many girls who have the courage to wear it out."
"As long as it is properly promoted, it will become popular," Sofia said, and added: "Moreover, this is only the first theme, there are three series in total, and the styles of the other two series will be somewhat restrained. Originally, there was also men's clothing, I persuaded her to cut it off, and Anna Sui doesn’t need to be so comprehensive now.”
Sofia occasionally explained, and the first topic gradually came to an end.
In addition to Nadja and Linda in the opening scene, Simon also saw the familiar Eva Herzgova, Roberta Chirko and Black Pearl Naomi Campbell, a total of five supermodels, who are also Anna Sui After all, the capacity limit of this brand cannot be as star-studded as the first-line brands, and the budget does not allow it.
Among them, Roberta Chilko, the 'female killer' who made a stunning appearance in the summer film "Spectre", came on stage. Because of the girl's glance, Simon was even teased by Sofia.
In addition to the five big guys, there are two girls that Simon also knows.
Two of the three Chinese girls from Elite, Tao Yuelei and Jian Xin, were secretly eaten by Simon just before the Australian vacation. Simon has scheduled two girls to appear on the stage in this year's fifth Victoria's Secret show. The two girls have obviously been working hard during this time. , and already had several months of training during the model competition to lay the foundation. At this time, it seems that the stage step level has reached Simon's standards for selecting Victoria's Secret Angels.
