The next day was Bur's new product launch, and Lin Dan arrived at the show on time. She is not the main show and her appearance order is very late. Compared with the up-and-coming J&K, first-tier red-blooded brands like BUR pay more attention to style and pomp, and rarely use new models as the main show unless they are strongly recommended by the agency.
Lin Dan has not signed a contract with any agency yet, and it is not easy for her to step onto the BUR runway based on her personal strength. She checked her clothes and accessories to make sure there would be no accidents when she went on stage, but was stumped by the boots the dresser handed her. This is a pair of red velvet boots. Although they look good, the heels are 15 centimeters high and the soles are thick and hard waterproof platforms. It is very inconvenient to walk in them and you will fall if you are not careful.
Lin Dan put it on and walked a few steps, his brows furrowed even more tightly. Not only are the heels of this pair of boots high, the designer also designed the soles to be a flat red surface with no anti-slip grooves. If your lower body is unstable, it is difficult to ensure that you can walk smoothly through the entire show. If she remembered correctly from the last rehearsal, BUR's catwalk was designed with two planes, one high and one low. Models had to step down a flight of stairs before they could start walking on the catwalk, which added to the difficulty of the show.
If it is a veteran supermodel, falling on the catwalk is really nothing. As long as she handles the situation properly, she may even win countless fans. But for a new model, this is simply a disaster. Their professional qualities will be questioned by brands, and they will lose many job opportunities later, and some may even completely fade out of the fashion circle. Not standing at a high enough position, Lin Dan is not qualified to wrestle yet.
She calmed down and thought about it, and soon she had an idea. Other models are troubled like her. Since these shoes are specially designed by designers to match the clothes, they cannot change them even if they want to and can only wear them reluctantly. There are many models whose heels are higher than Lin Dan's, and the soles of their shoes are all red without anti-slip patterns. They will definitely look miserable when they encounter the mirrored catwalk.
But they were professional models after all, and they got used to it after walking a few steps backstage. No one took it to heart, except Lin Dan, who walked to the exit to observe the catwalk. She was surprised to find that in addition to that section of stairs, the designer had sprinkled a lot of sparkling things on the table, like broken diamonds and diamond-shaped glass beads, which emitted colorful light under the spotlight and looked very dreamy.
There is no doubt that these beads will cause secondary obstacles to the models' walking. The waterproof platform is already thick and hard, making it difficult to maintain balance. If the soles of their feet step on something, they will most likely fall. Didn’t the designer take this into consideration when arranging the venue?
Although Lin Dan had her doubts, she did not seek communication with the designer because she knew very well that there was a natural level difference between models and designers. They would do anything for beauty and naturally would not consider the model's feelings. If you talk too much, it is very likely that he will replace you on the spot, because in their eyes, models are just props to display clothes.
Lin Dan returned to the backstage and said to the models who had changed their clothes, "I saw a lot of broken diamonds scattered on the stage. Be careful when you walk on the runway and don't fall."
"Little bitch, the show is about to start, what do you mean by saying this? Are you cursing us?" A black model approached her menacingly, looking a little scary with his furious look. She is also a well-known supermodel, and is known for her hot temper. The models around her are afraid of her and keep backing away.
She came in front of Lin Dan in an instant, with her nose almost touching Lin Dan's nose, like an angry lion. Lin Dan showed no fear at all and said in a calm tone: "I'm just reminding you."
Lin Dan learned from the original owner's memory that it was common for models to quarrel backstage. If they got angry, they would pull out your hair and scratch your face on the spot, and designers would often side with the more famous party and would never care who was right.
Lin Dan is not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble, but she is never afraid of trouble. When it comes to fighting, she believes that she will never lose. Her distinct black and white eyes stared straight at the black supermodel, with a cold light flashing deep in her pupils.
The black supermodel originally wanted to suppress this oriental newcomer, but for some reason, she felt a little timid. But there were many people watching around, and she couldn't afford to lose face, so she moved closer and put her nose against Lin Dan's.
The models around her thought she was going to do something and couldn't help showing a gloating expression. At this moment, the main show model Beverly came over, patted the black model's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Carol, the big show is about to start, you better stop it."
Beverly is the third-ranked supermodel on the supermodel list and is also the favorite of Bur's chief designer, with an extraordinary status. With just one word from her, the black female model would be replaced immediately. Since she came to maintain order, others naturally didn't dare to act recklessly.
The black female model glared at Lin Dan fiercely, as if saying, "Bitch, you're lucky, I'm going to let you go today," but in fact she was a little nervous. When Lin Dan faced her, he had no expression from beginning to end. His dark pupils only showed a cold light, without any emotion that a human should have. Her intuition told her that this was a tough guy who could not be bullied easily.
To others, Beverly seemed to have rescued Lin Dan, but only the black female model knew that the person who was rescued was actually herself.
Looking at the black model's back as she left, Lin Dan took a tissue from the dressing table and wiped the tip of her nose, then applied some more foundation, with a hint of nausea in her eyes.
Beverly whispered in her ear, "Honey, a fashion show is actually a battlefield. Everyone here could become your enemy. Don't be so mean in the future. What does it have to do with you if someone falls or not? To put it more bluntly, it's better if they fall, don't you think? I watched your fashion show a few days ago. You were great. Be careful backstage in the future. Don't get close to bad people like Carol. Just take care of yourself."
She patted Lin Dan's shoulder, smiled softly, and walked away, her waist swaying back and forth like an enchanting flower.
Lin Dan threw away the tissue and couldn't help but smile. It is said that it is better to have less trouble than more, so that it is less likely to cause trouble. However, she has an inexplicable confidence that one more or one less thing in this world is really nothing to her.
She checked her clothes and accessories again to make sure there were no mistakes before walking to the exit to line up. Background music slowly started playing and the invited guests took their seats. The models who appeared first stretched their necks to look outside, and then exclaimed: "Oh my God, am I seeing things? Is the person sitting in the first row, seat number one, Baird?"
"Let me see, let me see!" The models lined up behind couldn't help but run up.
Byrd is an internationally recognized superstar. He has achieved remarkable results both in singing and in filming. His global record sales have exceeded 3.1 billion copies, which is unmatched to this day. He has also been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times. In recent years, he has gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, concentrating on managing his family business. He rarely appears in public and has never visited places like fashion shows.
He is sexy, wild and full of energy on stage, but calm, self-controlled and indifferent off stage. This contradictory temperament has attracted countless fans for him. At this moment, he was wearing a low-key and luxurious silver-gray suit and sitting in the VIP seat in the first row. His black hair was all combed back, revealing his full forehead and handsome face. His eyes were purple, very mysterious and deep. One hand was tapping the armrest of the chair unconsciously, and the other hand was supporting his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
A large emerald ring was worn on the thumb of his left hand, matching his deep purple eyes. Although he hadn't appeared in public for more than two years, he was still so handsome and aloof, and even though he sat in the most prominent position, he couldn't blend in with the general public. He is always the most unique and the most shining.
The models rushed to the exit to see him, and then discovered that there was also an important figure sitting in the VIP seats further away.
"Oh my God, is that Auston? Why would he come to see Bur's show? Aren't he and Thomas sworn enemies?" the models whispered in disbelief.
"Who did you say is here?" Bur's chief designer Thomas hurried to the exit upon hearing this. Sure enough, he found Auston sitting at the far end of the first row, his long legs lazily crossed, with a cold expression on his face, as if he was disdainful of the show, but wanted to see how bad it could be.
What Thomas hated most was his superior attitude, yet he was helpless in doing anything to him. His brain is so genius that he can always design amazing works and always make the brand he owns a masterpiece. He has been leading the fashion trends for ten consecutive years. If he says something is beautiful, everyone will think it is beautiful; if he says something is ugly, no one dares to express a different opinion. He is an unbeatable opponent!
Thinking of the many confrontations in the past, Thomas gritted his teeth and ordered the models, "Just walk properly and show that guy Auston what an unparalleled show is! If anyone makes a mistake, don't even think about walking on my catwalk again!"
Everyone's face turned grim and they quickly agreed. Even the experienced Beverly secretly took a few deep breaths to calm her nervous mood. Only Lin Dan stood there silently, not looking forward or talking to the people around him.
Five minutes later, the show officially began. A spotlight shone towards the exit, causing all the guests to turn their heads to look. Baird and Auston, who were distracted, were awakened and their eyes instantly became focused. Baird even carefully adjusted his tie and handkerchief on his chest, as if he was a little nervous. This state was indeed abnormal for an international superstar.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Beverly was the first to come out. She was wearing a dark red evening dress and a pair of 18-centimeter-high pointed-toe shoes. She swayed as soon as she stepped down the stairs, but fortunately the swing was not big and she quickly stabilized. The guests did not notice anything unusual about her, but she secretly cursed in her heart: shit! Thomas must be out of his mind to design the catwalk and shoes like this!
