The sunlight outside the window gradually intensified, streaming into the room and casting a holy glow upon the two of them. With the air conditioning on, they no longer felt so hot.
Lan Qingyue used to like drawing clothes on paper. Her inspiration was beautiful, but her drawing skills were not good enough, and the things she drew were simply unwatchable.
During their freshman year, they spent half of their time practicing figure sketching and human anatomy, and didn't have that much time to actually study design.
Their school also had a design competition to encourage first-year students, and she participated without hesitation, winning a second prize, which wasn't too bad.
She dared not show off her little bit of experience and progress in front of Wei Yu.
Seeing that Lan Qingyue remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, Wei Yu asked her, "So, do you have any good ideas?"
Lan Qingyue looked up, a little embarrassed. She did have a fleeting idea, but felt it wasn't very creative. "I... I don't know if it counts."
Wei Yu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled. "Don't be so nervous. We're in the same team. You can tell me whatever you want to say. We can discuss it together. If we can decide on the design type this morning, we can move on to the next step."
Lan Qingyue pursed her lips; she wasn't wearing lipstick, and her face looked slightly pale.
"I think that with only three days for this round, it's too rushed. If the two of us make complicated outfits, we definitely won't have enough time. How about we just make simple and elegant dresses?"
A dress must be well-designed and crafted to be truly good.
However, of all the courses Lan Qingyue has taken so far, she does feel that dresses are the easiest to make.
She thought for a moment and then said, "When it comes to traditional Chinese style, the first thing that comes to mind is our country's bright red wedding dress. It's so beautiful, but it's very complicated to make. So I thought that when making formal dresses, we can add some distinctive elements, such as peonies and blue and white porcelain, to create a strong contrast."
“That’s a great idea.” Wei Yu nodded. “To be honest, when I was in college, I also designed a costume with a Chinese style theme. At that time, I designed a formal dress, and the element was blue and white porcelain.”
When she talked about the things she loved, she finally showed a genuine smile, a smile from the heart, not just a polite smile when greeting others.
"Really!" Lan Qingyue exclaimed in surprise. She had only thought of it casually and was worried that people would think her idea was out of place. She didn't expect that someone had already done the same design.
It seems that those who have been abroad and received a prestigious education are indeed different; they had the same idea years ago.
"So...so what are we going to do this time?"
"How about we make formal dresses again, and add some traditional elements to create a combination of Chinese and Western styles?"
Wei Yu had more ideas than Lan Qingyue, but as Lan Qingyue said, if it was too complicated, it simply couldn't be completed in three days.
Moreover, she didn't know Lan Qingyue well, and didn't know how much she knew about clothing. The two of them had to start with the simple things to improve their understanding so that they could cooperate better to complete the task next time.
Lan Qingyue shared the same idea; the two needed to understand each other and develop a tacit understanding so they could better complete increasingly difficult tasks next time.
With the direction determined and the fabric almost finalized, Lan Qingyue and Wei Yu made a list, carefully checked it to ensure nothing was missing, and then handed it over to the director.
