Chapter 93 Fashion Design Competition Semi-finals
Mu Nanyan stood in the center of the room, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in her heart. Suddenly, the host's voice rang out through the room's sound system. The voice was clear and powerful, instantly pulling Mu Nanyan into the atmosphere of the competition.
"Dear contestants, welcome to the live creative session of the semi-finals of this fashion design competition. I am your host and a witness to this creative feast. Please allow me to reiterate the rules of today's competition: Based on the theme of 'Dreaming of a Thousand Years', you will design and create a dress that reflects historical and cultural heritage while also maintaining fashionable elements. The time limit is 24 hours, starting now."
The host's words were filled with excitement, as if he was looking forward to each designer's wonderful performance. As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Nanyan felt an invisible pressure surge in her heart, a complex emotion intertwined with the desire to create and the fear of the unknown.
"Now, please allow me to unveil today's secret guests—they will serve as our special judges and provide valuable feedback and ratings for your work."
The host continued, a hint of mystery in his tone.
As the host introduced the guests, familiar faces slowly appeared on the screen. They were all renowned designers and critics in the fashion world. Mu Nanyan couldn't help but feel a surge of respect, and at the same time, she was even more determined to show her best.
"Alright, contestants, the competition is now officially underway! Please unleash your creativity and talent, and let us witness this fashion extravaganza that transcends time and space!"
The host's words were full of encouragement and expectation, as if he was cheering for every contestant.
Mu Nanyan quickly got into the swing of things, sketching out a few preliminary ideas on a piece of scratch paper. Her pen danced across the page, each stroke carrying her inspiration and dreams. After careful consideration, she ultimately settled on a design that blended Han Dynasty clothing elements with modern tailoring. The design featured a streamlined hem paired with delicate shoulder straps, retaining a classic elegance while maintaining a modern, simple and elegant feel.
As the competition progressed, Mu Nanyan was completely immersed in the world of creation. Sometimes she lowered her head in thought, sometimes she quickly sketched lines, sometimes she picked up fabrics to compare sizes... Every movement seemed so focused and skillful.
As night fell, the lights in the room dimmed. Mu Nanyan's figure stretched out in the light, appearing both lonely and determined. She periodically glanced up at the monitor. Although she couldn't see the other contestants' progress, the invisible pressure of competition kept her from slacking off. Meanwhile, the host's voice echoed, reminding the contestants of the passing of time and the progress of the competition.
"There are still six hours left until the end of the competition. Please hurry up and finish your work. Remember, every detail can be the key to victory or defeat."
There was a hint of urgency in the host's words, as if reminding every contestant to cherish this last creative time.
Finally, at the first light of dawn, Mu Nanyan completed her work. Standing before the mirror, she personally placed the dress on the mannequin. In that moment, she felt as if she had truly traveled through time and space, becoming a beauty who transcended millennia. The dress shone brightly on the model, a perfect blend of classic and modern beauty.
Mu Nanyan smiled at the model in front of her, with both satisfaction and expectation in her eyes.
"Time is up. Please hand your designs to the staff at the door. Now you can have a meal and rest. We will announce the results at the competition site at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
.......
The first rays of sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, quietly waking Mu Nanyan. Although she was a little tired, her heart was filled with anticipation for the outcome of the competition. Although the room arranged by the organizers was comfortable, Mu Nanyan had not slept all night, her thoughts surging like a tidal wave.
She got up early, put on some makeup, and followed a smiling staff member to the competition venue.
When we arrived, the competition hall seemed empty and solemn. Only a few contestants sat sparsely in the designated area, their faces filled with either nervousness or anticipation, and a subtle sense of tension hung in the air.
Mu Nanyan found a place to sit down, her eyes unconsciously scanning the surroundings, trying to read something from the faces of the other contestants.
As time went by, the contestants arrived one after another. Suddenly, Mu Nanyan's eyes lit up when she saw several designers who had recently become famous in the design world, such as the talented Lin Wanqing, the unique style of Li Haoyu, and the highly regarded Zhang Zihan.
They were sitting not far away, full of confidence, their faces filled with calmness and composure, as if they had already won. Mu Nanyan's heart suddenly surged with an invisible pressure, and she realized that this competition was far more intense than she had imagined.
At this moment, the host's voice sounded at the right time, breaking the silence. He was wearing a neat suit, holding a microphone, standing on the stage with a smile on his face, his voice loud and infectious:
“Good morning, distinguished designers, guests present, and friends watching the live broadcast!

As the host finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and heated. Mu Nanyan nervously clenched her pen, her heart beating rapidly, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She was looking forward to hearing her name, but she was also afraid that her expectation would be dashed.
"Next, I will announce the top 30 designers of this semi-final. The first place is Zhang Zihan from Dingsheng Group, the second place is Li Haoyu from Feihuang Clothing, and the third place is..."
The host began to read out the names of the finalists one by one. Every time a name was read out, the audience would burst into warm applause and cheers. Mu Nanyan's mood was like a roller coaster. She was nervous and excited, afraid that she would miss any details.
