Counterattack 1988

Chapter 848 The Man Who Instructed the Textile Industry
After nine o'clock, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Gymnasium.

Several ticket windows that are open at the same time are not enough.

Gao Peng, the vice president in charge of ticket sales, came to report to Wang Lin: "Mr. Wang, all the tickets for the first show are sold out!"

Wang Lin was shocked and said, "All [-] tickets are sold out?"

Gao Peng laughed and said, "There are still many enthusiastic citizens waiting outside to watch the second show!"

"Haha! Good! Tickets for 20 yuan a ticket can be sold out! It seems that we Shencheng people are very enthusiastic about seeing models in catwalks!" Wang Lin smiled happily.

20 yuan a ticket, 1.8 seats!

The income from selling tickets alone is as high as 36 yuan per game.

And Wang Lin held such a grand fashion show not just to earn some ticket money.

His purpose is to promote the great development of the domestic clothing and fabric industry through such a fashion show, so as to make my country's textile industry reorganize and create greater glories!

If there is traffic, it will definitely bring sales.

More than [-] real spectators, of course, are far more useful than what I arranged.

These audiences are willing to pay 20 yuan for tickets to watch the fashion show, and they are also very likely to spend money on fabrics for clothes.

Over the past ten years of reform and opening up, people's income has been greatly improved, and a large number of people who became rich first have emerged.The ideology of the citizens has also undergone great changes, among which the ideological trend of the people of Shencheng is relatively open, which is also the reason why the first domestic model team can appear in Shanghai.

And this kind of large-scale catwalk event is rare, even in Shanghai, such a large-scale model catwalk event open to the whole society is rare, and the promotion work of Aixiu Group years ago has been well done , The overwhelming advertising has long made Shanghai people fascinated by this catwalk.

In particular, this catwalk show is different. Not only domestic fashion brands participated, but also many foreign brands came to the catwalk.

There are also some people who buy tickets to come in, not to see beauties, but to observe and learn, such as designers, photographers, clothing brand dealers, dealers, and clothing-related private business owners, clothing workshop owners, and design professionals. Professional college students, these people come to participate with the purpose of learning, and look forward to learning cutting-edge knowledge and design concepts in this "international show".

The most famous fashion week in the world is Paris Fashion Week, which originated in 1910 and is sponsored by the French Fashion Association.The French Fashion Association was established at the end of the 19th century. The highest purpose of the association is to make Paris' status as the fashion capital of the world as solid as a rock.They help budding designers get started, organize and coordinate the Paris Fashion Week schedule, and ensure that buyers and fashion journalists can see as many shows as possible.

A perfect show is more about conveying the brand image firmly and accurately.How many clothing orders can be received is a small matter. The real task of this show is the sales of perfumes, cosmetics, and accessories that can bring real money to the company, as well as the sales of basic models with relatively cheap prices.

The characteristics of major international fashion weeks are also different.

The fashion weeks in Milan and London are quite conservative. They prefer local designs and are not very accepting of foreign designers, which makes these outsiders still have a strong sense of living here. However, the commercial atmosphere of New York Fashion Week is too strong. Only Paris It is really attracting fashion elites from all over the world.

Almost every one of the hall-level fashion designers from Japan, the United Kingdom and Belgium came into the world's field of vision through Paris.

New York shows business, Milan shows skill, London shows boldness, only Paris shows dreams.

The Shencheng Aixiu Fashion Week created by Wang Lin is more inclusive. He not only showcases oriental clothing designs, but also attracts clothing brands from all over the world.

The sea is open to all rivers, which makes it even more vast.

Wang Lin was talking happily with the vice presidents when he suddenly saw a beautiful figure.

Li Jiaxin is here!
She had been looking for Wang Lin since she entered the arena, and when she saw him, she smiled at him, waved her hand, and walked over slowly.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Li Jiaxin's elegant tone carried a little resentment.

"Mr. Li, welcome!" In front of everyone, Wang Lin certainly couldn't act too much, and shook hands with Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin was accompanied by a few men and women, who seemed to be her friends traveling with her.

"Mr. Wang, let me introduce to you. These people are all fashion designers from Xiangjiang. After they heard about Aixiu Fashion Week, they all wanted to come and see it." Li Jiaxin introduced her friend to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Welcome everyone, please give me your advice."

A handsome man with strange clothes and long hair, if it wasn't for his beard, at first glance he would have thought he was an ordinary woman.

When Li Jiaxin introduced him, he said that his name was David and he was a famous designer with international reputation.

Although Wang Lin has been immersed in this industry for many years, he still knows very little about internationally renowned designers. This industry is very deep, and there are so many designers?So it is normal not to know each other.

David's favorite movement is twisting orchid fingers, just like the movements in opera, but the movements he makes are not standard and not as good-looking as theater actors.

"Oops, I looked at the list of exhibitors, and I was very disappointed!" David said coquettishly, "I heard that your publicity is so good, it really is a fashion event with international brands, and the result? Not a single big brand came. Like Chanel, Dior, Armani, these are the real big names! As a result, none of them came to participate.”

His voice is too delicate, it is an overly contrived sissy, which makes people get goosebumps!
David's orchid finger stroked his chin lightly: "Oh, I should have thought about it a long time ago. What kind of good fashion week can there be in the mainland? Not to mention the mainland, even the fashion weeks in the whole of Asia are not up-to-date. , Even Tokyo Fashion Week cannot be compared with Paris, Milan, London, and New York Fashion Week.”

Wang Lin said indifferently: "Mr. David, I don't deny that Western fashion weeks are superior. Many of their design styles and Western elements are indeed worthy of our reference, but we don't have to belittle ourselves. Oriental fashion design also has tradition and elegance. , the beauty of tenderness."

David looked at Wang Lin: "You are a businessman, do you still understand the beauty of fashion design?"

Wang Lindao: "I know a thing or two. In modern oriental fashion, the fabrics are mainly made of natural materials such as cotton, hemp, silk, silk, wool, etc., combined with some foreign fabrics, coupled with the designer's novel design, and the pattern maker's careful cutting. Combining oriental fashion with traditional and modern crafts such as piping, colliding, hand embroidery, machine embroidery, beading, hand-painting, plate decoration, etc., coupled with advanced production equipment and exquisite workmanship, it reflects the strong oriental color and fashionable style. The combination of western elements is suitable for all women to go to work and participate in banquets or social activities, reflecting the graceful charm of women, the tradition embodies elegance and fashion, and the elegance embodies individuality and nobility."

He talks eloquently, and there must be something in his words.

David listened, but dismissed it: "Is there traditional clothing in the East? Aren't all modern people wearing Western-style clothing?"

Wang Lindao: "Mr. David, you may have lived in Western countries for many years and lacked research on oriental elements. Not much to say about our Hanfu, which is the most traditional cheongsam, which is very fashionable for modern people to wear. Like me This Chinese-style Chinese tunic suit is no worse than a suit. In this cold winter, wearing a suit and tie is very chic, but getting older will inevitably catch cold in the chest."

"Pfft!" Li Wenjuan smiled sweetly beside her.

David was squeezed out by Wang Lin, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "That sounds good! I don't believe that you can come up with something new in this fashion week. I went to the store of your Aixiu Group in Xiangjiang. The design is only It can be said that it is quite satisfactory, and there is nothing outstanding!"

Wang Lindao: "The clothes at Paris Fashion Week are fantastic, but how many women dare to wear such clothes to go out on the street? How many women wear such clothes to work or do housework? The original meaning of human beings' invention of clothes, It is to defend against the invasion of nature, coupled with the function of dressing up ugly. The development history of clothing is constantly evolving. The evolution and differences of Chinese and Western clothing, from Fuxi's silk to fringe silk, ancient Egyptians made of linen fabrics The apron and the Sumerian use of wool fabric wrapped around the human body to form clothing seem to imply the huge style difference between Chinese and Western clothing."

Li Wenjuan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, our ancestors invented such a high-grade fabric as silk? But Westerners still use flax?"

Wang Lindao: "That's right, so the costumes of our country are more advanced than those of Westerners from the very beginning."

David was stunned, blinked his eyes, and said, "What's the use of discussing such ancient clothing? We live in the present, of course it is better than the current clothing."

Wang Lindao: "You are advocating Western-style clothing design, which is not wrong, but I insist that what belongs to the nation belongs to the world. Modern society is a pluralistic society, and it is also a society where nationalities are melted. I have also seen Western clothing design. In the four major fashion weeks, many of their designers also like to use our Chinese elements as design materials. The 5000-year history of civilization has bred a unique Chinese culture. Chinese traditional clothing has a profound cultural heritage, and Eastern culture and Western culture meet At that time, the integration of Chinese traditional clothing and Western clothing systems made the clothing industry pay more attention to the essence of ancient oriental culture, and also made the oriental complex shine on the clothing stage. Western modern clothing often perfectly combines the styles and styles of Chinese traditional clothing. Parts, fabric characteristics, patterns and various small elements, which also make our great national essence have a long-lasting Chinese style on the fashion stage. The distant oriental culture no longer only represents tradition and national quintessence, she has quickly become a A fashion that is popular internationally."

David sneered: "Is there? Can you give me an example to illustrate? What Chinese elements are used in Western clothing?"

Wang Lindao: "That's too much. For example, using traditional Chinese flower-and-bird paintings in bright colors as clothing patterns, using Chinese calligraphy and characters as patterns, and embroidering Chinese peony embroidery patterns. Also, cheongsams with stand-up collars and slanted open fronts The use of elements makes clothing simple and fashionable. As an important part of Chinese elements, blue and white porcelain represents the euphemism and charm of the Chinese. In addition, there are side slits, buttons, piping, patterns, tassels, brocade embroidery on silk fabrics, Chinese knots, The quintessence of Peking Opera masks, bamboo hats, mandarin jackets, waistcoats, bellybands, etc. There are too many. If Mr. David can’t see which are Chinese elements, I can make a special trip to give you pointers at the next Paris Fashion Week!”

He paused for a while, then said calmly and proudly: "The use of Chinese elements in the field of western fashion design is not uncommon. Since the rise of the oriental trend in France in the 20s, the designer Yves Saint Laurent used my country's Manchu Qing costumes as inspiration to design, making the then The fashion world is fascinated by it. The brightly colored satin suit with stand-up collar and shoulder pads uses a lot of totems with dragon and phoenix patterns with Chinese characteristics, and various techniques and weaving techniques such as jacquard, brocade and embroidery show an extremely luxurious and beautiful oriental style. .”

David was dumbfounded.

Li Jiaxin's eyes were shining brightly, she looked at this high-spirited man in front of her who pointed out the textile industry, he was so perfect and passionate!He is so good and charming!

Even if they talk about the mountains with David, who claims to be an internationally famous designer, he can speak out golden sentences, speak brilliantly, present facts and reason, and suppress their limelight!

Wang Lin's image, in the eyes of everyone, instantly became taller!

David folded his hands on his chest and looked at Wang Lin with indifference but disbelief, but he was already speechless and could not speak contemptuously, so he could only sneer: "Sounds so nice! I just don't know Does your costume design also catch our eyes?"

Wang Lindao: "The first fashion show at the opening ceremony is the brand show of our Aixiu Group. Please give me your advice, Mr. David. Our costume design incorporates a lot of oriental elements. If Mr. David has any ideas about Chinese elements If you don’t understand, you can ask me, and I will be happy to answer it for you.”

David snorted coldly, his face still full of disdain.

Li Wenjuan stretched out her hand and asked Wang Lin to look at her watch: "Brother-in-law, it's almost time to start."

Wang Lin nodded, and said to Li Jiaxin: "Miss Li, please take your seat first! Our opening ceremony will start right away!"

Li Jiaxin wanted to talk too much about herself to Wang Lin, but she also knew that this was not the time to talk, so she responded, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "520."

It's a simple number with profound meaning.

Because of the popularity of BB machines, 520 has become a homonym for I love you.

On the other hand, 520 is also the room number of Li Jiaxin's room in Huating Hotel.

Wang Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Jiaxin, David and others turned and left.

Zhou Boqiang shook his head lightly, and said, "When a leaf falls, you will know the coolness of autumn. Mr. Wang, it seems that Westerners are not optimistic about our fashion show. That's why they didn't place an order."

Wang Lin's face became extremely serious, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, my country's clothing design has just started, but we have a rich cultural heritage and thousands of years of textile and embroidery civilization. I believe that we will be able to lead Huaxia clothing to the world! Our Aixiu Fashion Week will start today and become the fifth largest fashion week in the world and a signature show leading oriental fashion! Through this show, we will Show the charm of Chinese clothing to the world and drive the sales of our textile group!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Yes, sales, making money, and development are the last words."

Wang Lin waved his hand, and said boldly, "Let's go and take a seat! Fashion Week is about to start! It's exciting, it's about to be announced!"
