The model and designer lived in an apartment arranged by Fu Di. When Qin Xiaoyu arrived, they had already moved in.
Qin Xiaoyu was always worried about the setup of the show venue.
The brand designed each fashion show itself, and Fu Di was in charge of the entire process. She had only seen the design sketches once; it was purely in the traditional Chinese style, mainly using moon gates and screen decorations.
“In the design of ancient Chinese architecture, the concept of ‘borrowing scenery’ is emphasized. With these elements, the composition of the scene is divided in a dynamic and perfect way.” Fu Di was very confident.
Qin Xiaoyu knew that his knowledge was no less than A Lei's, and if he thought it was good, it couldn't be too bad.
Fang Baobao also came along, but with a different identity, becoming Fu Di's assistant.
"Check these tracking numbers immediately. If they haven't arrived at the port, we need to trace where they got stuck at customs." Fu Di's focus is now entirely on the fashion items coming from China; losing even one box could cause a major problem.
"Okay, I'll take it." Fang Baobao took the order form from his hand and ran out. So obedient, she really does look like an excellent employee. What happened to her rebellious nature?
"Is there something you're hiding from your sister?" Qin Xiaoyu asked Fu Di secretly.
"What is it?" Fu Di asked, puzzled.
"Why did this baby suddenly change gender?"
"I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's a very competent assistant," Fu Di said, frowning.
"Tell me the truth, did she say she likes you?" Qin Xiaoyu knew that she couldn't get Fu Di to confess unless she used strong medicine.
"Well, she said that during my single period, we could try dating. But I'm so busy with work right now, my career is just starting, I don't have the time or inclination to think about relationships, so I politely declined..."
"Hahaha!" Qin Xiaoyu laughed unkindly. A Lei was right; Fu Di's rejection was more effective than ten years of pursuit—Fang Baobao had taken the bait.
"Why are you acting so mysterious, sis?" Fu Di was creeped out by her laughter. Before he could ask what was going on, Qin Xiaoyu had already run off to tell Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang was originally going to come along, but she had caught a cold recently and wasn't feeling well. After all, she's over seventy years old, so we didn't want to trouble her and she had to stay home with some grievances.
Hearing Qin Xiaoyu gossip about Fang Baobao, she immediately got excited, kept asking for details, and laughed so hard her dentures almost fell out.
Of course, the Fu family had to come for such a big event concerning their daughter. However, they were mindful of their words and didn't want to disturb Qin Xiaoyu, so they went directly to their own residence, made a phone call, and arranged to meet at the show.
The boxes were delivered one after another. Qin Xiaoyu's men were all capable, and the model team members all came down to help. They were all well-trained and knew exactly what they were supposed to do without being told, so they cooperated quite well.
They weren't performing locally; they came from a long way, and there were far fewer people than usual. So they were all doing multiple jobs.
The makeup artist and stylist only brought two people, Song Miaomiao and Tian Tian. Although Xiao Jin and Fang Baobao automatically filled in and assisted, they were still a bit short-handed.
"Looks like Sister Xiaoyue and I will have to make up the numbers too," Qin Xiaoyu said, frowning.
"Sister, there's no need for you. I've already made arrangements."
Fu Di surprised Qin Xiaoyu again. He secured two sponsors: one for cosmetics and the other for wigs and accessories. There was also a jeweler. The jewelry used by the models would be delivered to the venue on the day of the event, which was much more convenient than bringing things from China.
Both of these brands are quite large; they said they were sponsoring, but actually they wanted to advertise. They sent technical advisors directly, and the supplies were all prepared, which was a great help.
Miranda came over once, but because of her status, it was inconvenient for her to take direct action; she only offered some guidance.
Qin Xiaoyu was already extremely grateful. As she saw her off, Miranda said, "I wish you success. Also, I'd like to book an exclusive interview."
"Wow!" Before Qin Xiaoyu could express her overwhelming joy, Miranda had already gotten into the car and left. That's how cool she is.
Being able to have an exclusive interview in Miranda's publication gives her the confidence to reject the whole world.
"With everyone's help, we've succeeded." Qin Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears as she mentioned this. She knew her team was very united, but it was only during a major event that their true unity was revealed, which still moved her deeply.
Because the fashion show only lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and each designer has a lot of work, when it comes to making the final decision, no one fights for themselves; everyone votes fairly.
Master Liang and Xu Jingye even gave up one spot each to Tang Hu, who joined later.
With only one day left until the fashion show, it was time to set up the venue, and Qin Xiaoyu walked in for the first time.
The space is incredibly large; it will be packed with guests tomorrow.
Paris Fashion Week is not open to the public; it mainly involves sending out invitations. That was Fu Di's responsibility, and Qin Xiaoyu only knew that he had already sent out all the invitations.
As for the invitees, they included celebrities, fashion media, sponsors, and brand ambassadors.
There are four major fashion weeks in the world, but Paris Fashion Week is the most inclusive. Milan, London and New York Fashion Weeks focus more on local designers, and foreign designers do not feel a sense of belonging and are not given special promotion.
At Paris Fashion Week, to be more international, designers from all countries can find their own platform. Many designers from small countries like Japan and Belgium started their journey to the world stage from Paris.
Therefore, there will be three hundred shows in a short period of time.
This is the first show by a Chinese fashion designer, so the level of importance attached to it is different. Qin Xiaoyu has been given a great platform; how she presents her work is up to her.
When they arrived at the Louvre, the installers had already started working. Qin Xiaoyu and Fu Di watched as they unpacked the items and took them out one by one.
Fu Di's design drawings include four antique-style carved screens, two moon gates, and some round and folding fans. These antique-style items, not to mention their inherent beauty, already provide the best interpretation of beauty in every fold and turn.
The set is only half-built, but the effect is already very good.
"Wouldn't using some dry ice have a better effect?" Qin Xiaoyu looked at the table and had a new idea. So far, Riyue Apparel's original products have mainly been fashion apparel, with very few bags and shoes.
Throughout the entire show, the shoes were a weak point. Because domestic production technology is still limited, the control of high heels in handmade shoes is not ideal. If dry ice were used, a thin layer of mist on the ground would not only make the fashion look more ethereal, but also cover up the shoes.
Fu Di applauded and immediately made a phone call to make arrangements.
Just then, there was a loud crash in front of us. Looking at the installation site, we saw a worker fall off a ladder and knock over a screen. The carved screen was already fragile, and the fall caused serious damage.
