Chapter 242 Show (1)
"Dear leaders and guests!"
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"Welcome to Yiwu Fashion Design Institute. This is the venue for the 2006 Graduate Fashion Design Graduation Show. Media friends from all over the world are welcome!"
“Welcome to all the merchants and friends who have come to participate in the exhibition, and thank you for your strong support for this event.”
"Welcome..."
With the passionate opening of the two hosts, Zhen Zhen's graduation design show kicked off.
This show was a graduation design exhibition organized by Zhenzhen School, and most of the participating designers were seniors from the school. In order to maximize the characteristics of the clothes, the show was held in a place with a professional catwalk.
This show wasn't just a showcase for graduation projects; it was also a commercial competition. Students presented their work while judges sat in the audience, commenting on the garments' unique characteristics and potential for market development, ensuring they could become valuable products. The audience was already packed with businesses eager to explore the potential of the designers, who, as soon as they appeared and presented their work, were immediately invited to collaborate.
In order to help Zhen Zhen win the first prize in this big show, Tian Xin specially mixed her designs with her own clothes and brought them to Suzhou. In return, Zhen Zhen agreed to combine their designs into a series and bring them to the show.
Tian Xin and Lin Zhou returned to Yiwu from Suzhou with the clothes the night before the event started.
Everything is being prepared in full swing.
The show venue is divided into three activity areas: backstage, catwalk and auditorium.
The catwalk, located in the center of the venue, was approximately 25 meters long and arranged as an artistic silver passage. LED strips were embedded on both sides of the floor, changing colors to the rhythm of the music. Overhead spotlights rotated back and forth with the music, creating a dreamy and fashionable atmosphere.
Tian Xin and Zhen Zhen were busy backstage taking care of the pieces they were about to wear on stage.
The air was filled with the pungent sweet aroma of hairspray and the plastic smell of hot glue guns, as a large number of students were busy applying makeup and styling their costumes. Most of these students only had one piece of work, and as students, they didn't even need to hire models; they wore their own works on stage.
The backstage space is not big, and the corridors are full of students standing with makeup boxes, touching up their makeup and waiting to go on stage. They had put on their costumes in the dormitory early in the morning.
As for the dressing area, it was only available to designers with a collection. Due to the lack of space, it was temporarily divided into cubicles and filled with various labeled exhibits.
These series of works are the outstanding student works that will be the finale of this show.
Tian Xin took a quick look and found that most of the designs were evening gowns and fashion collections, but there were also some particularly eye-catching designs, such as some unusual clothes made from special materials.
Some of these designs have been favored by businesses, who have specially invited professional models to help them, striving to ensure that the works can quickly go viral under the lens of the on-site media and become the trendy hits of the next season.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Zhen Zhen looked up at the row of professional models in front of her who were taller than her, her face full of anxiety.
In order to better demonstrate the clothing effect, Lin Zhou specially found 7 professional models to show the two people's series of Hanfu.
At this moment, the seven models have all changed into full costumes and are standing in front of the two people.
A closer look reveals that each of these beauties resembles a fairy from a painting, dressed in flowing, wide sleeves or with their fronts wide open. Their hair is adorned with pearls and jade, each with a flower adorning their forehead. In their hands, they each hold a round fan to shield their face, or sway with a lantern. Each beauty is unique, yet deeply distinctive.
Tian Xin held a handful of pins and stood on tiptoe behind the model, carefully "locking" every button on the clothes.
Seeing Zhen Zhen's nervousness, she smiled softly, biting a comb she used to touch up the model's makeup, and said to her in a vague voice: "Don't be nervous, we are the last group to perform, there is still time!"
Zhen Zhen was not listening to her words of comfort and was pacing anxiously backstage, sometimes going to the front of the stage to take a look, and sometimes strolling back to take a look at the models' makeup and clothes.
As a designer, she also wore a suit of her own design and prepared to go on stage during the curtain call.
At this moment, the pearls and jade on her head made crisp sounds as she walked back and forth.
"Can you take a break? Aren't you tired?" Tian Xin looked at her pacing restlessly and felt amused. She pulled her to sit down and touched up her makeup.
"Sister Xin, do you think there will be a business that likes our design and immediately puts up a sign to work with us?" Zhen Zhen's eyes sparkled with longing. "If that happens, I won't have to worry about finding a job!"
"Hmm... maybe there will be!" Tian Xin thought for a moment and said, "Then I wish your dream come true in advance!"
"Thank you, sister! But speaking of which, our designs are now a series. If a merchant takes a fancy to your design, what should I say?"
"Just say what you want to say! Aren't you all..."
"Tian Xin, Tian Xin..."
As she was speaking, Lin Zhou waved at her from the backstage entrance.
This place was mostly populated by girls, so it was inconvenient for him to come in, so he just sat in the audience and helped her keep an eye on the situation outside.
"What's wrong?" Tian Xin quickly put down the pins, clips and other small items in her hands and ran over to him in small steps.
Lin Zhou took out a note and put it in her hand, then whispered something in her ear. Before he finished speaking, her eyes were filled with shock.
"really?"
"Well, get ready!" Lin Zhou said: "The people on this list have already arrived. Later, you will speak according to what you prepared in advance."
"Then...where's Zhen Zhen?"
"Same, no matter who it is? Since we're from the same series, of course we're all related!"
Lin Zhou paused, held her shoulders, and looked deeply into her eyes. "Remember, if you feel you can't handle it later, don't say anything. Leave everything to me! Okay?"
"I'm not a child..."
"Listen to me!" He gently embraced her and immediately let go. Although his tone was stiff, his eyes were full of worry: "Okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Tian Xin patted his shoulder gently.
The lights on the catwalk were shining, and students dressed in various costumes were showing off their own style with confident steps to the exciting and trendy music.
Lin Zhou glanced at the audience, turned to Tian Xin and said, "Then I'm leaving!"
"Hey, Brother Lin, wait..."
Zhen Zhen caught up with him from behind and called out to him: "Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Um... I just want to ask, where are we outside now? Has anyone been chosen?"
Zhen Zhen looked at Lin Zhou nervously, her eyes darting back and forth. After she finished asking the question, she looked up and looked him straight in the eye.
