The black Audi four-door sedan slowly stopped, the driver quickly got out of the car, and then politely opened the door. Lan Li got out of the car and looked up at the surrounding street scenes. The red brick walls, the tall oak trees, and the emerald green The creeper, there is a quiet atmosphere in the air, without the bustle and noise of Manhattan at all. There are black, silver, and gray vehicles parked on both sides of the street, which look inconspicuous, but the real connoisseur can see it at a glance. Come out, these are private customized vehicles, which are completely different from the general-purpose models on the market.

Just a glance, Lan Li knew that this was the Upper East Side.

When people talk about shopping malls in New York, Fifth Avenue is undoubtedly a well-known luxury resort. Even the British aristocrats are willing to fly here to buy them during the discount season, but this is only a luxury brand and Fifth Avenue. The advertising campaign launched on the avenue is nothing more than that.

It is undeniable that Fifth Avenue gathers the world's top luxury brands. Indeed, many famous people are willing to come here to shop, but the truly high-end private stores are not found on Fifth Avenue. Instead, they are in Greenwich. There are treasures hidden in some deviating lanes of the village. Ordinary people cannot find them in these places. Special contacts, professional business cards or referrals from knowledgeable people are the stepping stone, away from the public's sight, providing high-end services in a low-key manner.

Although Lan Li did not visit these high-end private custom shops after coming to New York, one is that there is no occasion to wear, and the other is that economic conditions do not allow it; but it does not mean that Lan Li is ignorant. The information of the top private tailors is in the upper class. The society is passed on by word of mouth. However, Lan Li didn't know that there was another one in the Upper East Side.

Because according to the normal rules, arranging the store in the Upper East Side is really too high-profile. It means that the audience is aimed at the upper-class society in this area, lest people don’t know that this is a stylish, tasteful, and prestigious company. Private custom shop. This is too commercial, too fame and fortune, and too direct for the arrogant and indifferent senior tailor-or for the introverted and innocent British.

Even hidden in a private courtyard.

"This time is more urgent and there is no time to make more arrangements. However, this designer has been in the limelight in the past two years and is worthy of trust." Andy briefly explained, and his admiration can be heard in the brief words. Andy looked up and down at Lan Li. Today he is dressed up in a simple dress with a t-shirt and jeans. "Let's equip the suit!"

Behind a piece of ivy, you can vaguely see a carved iron door with a bronze doorbell button next to it. At first glance, it is known that it is designed to imitate the design of high-end British residences. After pressing the doorbell, the intercom at the door heard an inquiring sound, "Who is it, please?"

"Andy Rogers."

The door opened automatically, and the iron door was pushed open. There is a heavy wooden door inside. After entering, you can see a spacious and bright space. There is a large open space in the center. The place on the left hand side near the floor-to-ceiling window is a dark brown. Right across the open space is a full-length dressing mirror, and there is a space for changing clothes next to it. At this time, the off-white curtain is completely open. You can see a dressing table, stacked with pins, measuring tapes, and scissors. Such gadgets.

The warm color-based space design is generous and reveals a strong modern atmosphere, which makes people suddenly enlightened. But Lan Li didn't like it, because it was not consistent with the style of the house. Obviously, the house is in Victorian retro style. The exterior walls and gates are also the same, but the interior is modern in style?

Typical American choice.

"Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hall." A tall woman came up head-on, with long golden hair draped over her shoulders, a white silk shirt with a black high-waisted skirt, and a pair of royal blue under her feet. Pointed high heels. The neat dress does not lose the charm, the exquisite figure is fully displayed, the gentle smile on his face is not too flattering, but it remains cordial.

This is a typical model of commercial sales in the United States-blonde beauty, sexual \\/ dress that is not too revealing, so that customers enjoy a good mood; if it is a high-level private customization in the UK, the receptionist’s dress is definitely not the case. Some are men or older people, even if they are young women, they will show up in formal attire.

With a simple face-to-face meeting, Lan Li already knew this store. As a person who had received aristocratic education and grew up, he really knew these details well. Turning his head to see, sure enough, there was a slight smile on Andy's face, his expression relaxed, he was obviously very satisfied with it.

"Melvin is answering an important call on the second floor. He will get down right away. Please wait a moment." The blonde said with a smile, "Coffee or tea?"

"Hot milk, no sugar, and two small biscuits." Lan Li stood aside and said politely. Although he is constantly complaining, Lan Li has gradually adapted to the American style of doing things here. He has long been surprised by this commercial but arty custom. He believes that Andy chose this place because of the reputation of the shop.

The blonde girl was a little surprised, obviously she didn't expect Lan Li's request to take such an unusual path. If she remembers correctly, the only people who visited today were only unknown people, and she hadn't seen anything in the world-just like the request made at this time, milk? What kind of requirement is this? It sounded like a hillbilly from New Jersey; but the person in front of her stood there casually with his self-satisfied expression, with his hands relaxed on his side, the natural ease and grace, but it made her feel a little at a loss.

"Pretend to look like."

The corners of the girl's mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed through her eyes, but she was well concealed and her emotions did not leak out, "No problem." Then she turned and looked at Andy, "Coffee, please bring the sugar bowl here. "The girl nodded to express her understanding, "Then, please wait a moment."

All the way to the second floor, the girl saw Melvin-blades who was reading the newspaper with her legs up. Obviously, Melvin was not answering the phone, and there was nothing important.

Stylists are a very special position in Hollywood. They are not designers or hand tailors. They have their own special views on fashion and styling, but their professional ability cannot be considered. Their job is very special, it is to make styles for celebrities-not everyone has a sense of fashion, many celebrities may privately be ordinary people who like monochromatic vests, plaid pants and flip-flops, and the central region of the United States His fashion taste is even more frustrating, and at this time a stylist is needed.

The stylist is responsible for the styling of the star in any public occasion, from the choice of hairstyle to clothing, from makeup to jewellery matching, and giving him complete advice. Then the star goes under the spotlight and accepts the attention of the world. . This is not only the red carpet or press conference, but also the clothes in private.

The profession of stylist began to gradually move from behind the scenes to the front stage, which was the period when street photography began to flourish. Every celebrity usually takes to the streets or even appears in the airport, and the clothing matching has received more and more attention. This also means that the celebrities’ wardrobe will be fully reviewed by the public three hundred and sixty years. It is unimaginable before-this can also be said to be an important product of the Internet era.

The stylist will update the wardrobe of the celebrities in an all-round way, about three to four times in a season, and then the celebrities will choose to wear them before going out, take pictures for the stylist, and only after confirmation, will they go out.

To give a simple example, the most famous examples in the entertainment industry are Taylor-Swift (taylor-swift) and Selena-Gomez (selena-).

In the early days of his debut, Taylor always continued the look of a little princess, sweet and lovely, but lacking features. Later, after changing the stylist, he began to move towards the neat style of urban beauty, but at the same time not the sassy sweetness, the popularity of street shooting has risen sharply. , Is even hailed as a fashionista; Selena is the same. As a Disney child star, her first half of her career has always been dominated by sweet, lively, and youthful styles. After she became an adult, she faced the bottleneck of transformation and invited a professional stylist. Began to take the urban mature style, sex, but not charming, permeated with the self-confidence and competence of mature women in big cities, and the career skyrocketed, as if she became the queen of street photography on the Internet.

It is no exaggeration to say that a top stylist can make a celebrity face up and reborn, even if compared to plastic surgery. But on the contrary, a mediocre stylist can also make a star plummet and dim, seemingly out of sight of people overnight.

However, fashion trends change every year and every day ~www.novelhall.com~ and fashion styles must be adjusted according to each individual's characteristics and style. Therefore, there is no accurate benchmark to measure the ability of a stylist. The only criterion is: Who did he create the styling for, and what is his level? How's the effect?

Therefore, celebrities need to be cautious when choosing a stylist, and vice versa.

Melvin is thirty-five years old this year. He used to be a fashion buyer. He wandered through the four major fashion weeks and various fashion circles. However, the competition in the buyer market was too fierce. Two years ago, he began to transform into a stylist. He took over the modeling work of Emma-Roberts, Jesse-eisenberg, etc., but his achievements were limited. His most famous case is that of Anne Hathaway (ahaway). ) Selected the red carpet evening gown for the 81st Oscars, which was highly acclaimed. After that, his career began to go smoothly.

Now, Melvin has long-term cooperation agreements with many actors such as Megan Fox, Paul Rudd, Vanessa Hudgens, etc., which can be regarded as a stylist industry. He has gained a firm foothold, but he still lacks a touch on the door, lacks a stage that attracts the attention of the public and shows his real materials, and truly ranks among the top stylists.

Therefore, he is choosing, waiting, waiting, and searching. Accepting Andy's request to take over the appearance of an unknown newcomer is not only because of the face of the Emmy, but also because of looking for potential newcomers. Otherwise, he is unwilling to accept such a job.

Melvin put down the newspaper, looked at the blonde, and then saw the girl shook her head disappointedly, "It looks like a hillbilly with no potential."
