travel starts with photography

Chapter 337 Fashion
"Miss Betty, I would like to visit your school if possible."

"Just call me Britney." She smiled.

This girl knows fashion and makeup very well, and she has a good figure, but her face is the wide face of the West. A wide face is a big difference in the aesthetics of men in the East and the West. Chen Xing still likes the traditional oval face or the modern pointed face also.

Except for plastic surgery of course.

"Okay, Britney, does your school allow outsiders to visit?"

He wants to go to see this Royal Swedish Academy.

The School of Decorative Arts in Paris where Chen Xing studied was also the French Royal Academy of Painting many years ago. Although it is now a national university, Chen Xing has never seen people from the royal family or the government come to the school.

As a young man who grew up under the red flag, Chen Xing was very curious about the word royal family.

She raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course, many universities in Sweden have no external walls, and the campus is integrated with the streets outside the campus. Many tourists who come to Sweden will visit the school. I think this should be the Swedish style. The heyday way?"

"A school without walls?"

"Hmm." She took a bite of smoked salmon.

The taste is really good. This restaurant is one of the ten best restaurants in Stockholm. People who have lived here for a long time rarely come here to eat because it is too expensive. Britney, who is from Germany, is even more reluctant. , so even if I have studied here for several years, I have only been here two or three times.

She also introduced:
"There is a place in this city called the Pearl of Stockholm, which is the City Hall. It is located on the edge of Lake Mälaren, and there are no walls around it. If you come for the scenery, then I think you can visit our school. How about going to this place, most of the city hall is open to the public for free, even indoors, you can buy a ticket to enter."

"Thank you, is there anything else worth visiting?"

"Too many, Swedish museums are everywhere like stars, and the Royal Palace, Queen's Island Summer Palace, where the Swedish royal family lives... Also, in Swedish cities, you will see a lot of wild animals, Squirrels, seabirds, wild ducks, it's all normal, they are not afraid of people, but you can't hurt them."

Chen Xing understands this a little bit. Like Iceland and Norway, Sweden, as one of the Nordic countries, has the same nature protection as other countries.

In terms of the protection of natural ecology, no country in the world can surpass Northern Europe.

Even if their protection is only for the places they can control, it is difficult to control other big countries, but this is also very good, at least this is what tourists want to see when they come to Northern Europe, isn't it.

"I understand." Chen Xing said.

The two happily finished the meal, and when they left, Chen Xing added Britney's Facebook.

In Europe, you have to get used to preparing a few more social software on your mobile phone. Their market has not been integrated yet, unlike domestic WeChat, which can solve everything. If you encounter the social software they use in street photography If there are no stars, then you can only send an email.

In addition to commercial use, Chinese people rarely use Internet mail, but foreign countries still maintain the habit of using mail.

"I'll send you the photo later that night."

"Anytime is fine, the photos you take are really beautiful, just like the photos of those stars, thank you, Chen." Britney is happier than Chen Xing, this kind of photos are put on Facebook But very showy.

"waiter!"

Chen Xing called someone over to pay the bill.

Three thousand and six Swedish kronor, my dear.

The Huaxia currency is exchanged for Swedish Krona, which is about one yuan for one yuan and five, so the meals for this meal cost more than 2000 yuan. At this price, you can book a complete set meal in a large hotel in Paris. The tricks are better than this Four dishes are several times more.

It's so expensive...

He didn't feel any heartache. The money he earned was spent, anyway, no matter how much he used it now, he couldn't make money as fast as he did.

I'm just very impressed with the price of Nordic things.

Amidst the envious eyes of the guests in the restaurant, Chen Xing and Britney walked out together.

In today's generally dark environment, a girl who can control papaya and orange is definitely the most beautiful girl in everyone's eyes. You don't need to see what the face looks like, as long as you notice the color, you will look at it unconsciously .

This is the visual prominence of color.

Although Chen Xing only has a very simple set of colors, his clothes are more tasteful and temperamental, and his face can be both Eastern and Western, which makes a group of women start to envy Britney up.

The waiter in the restaurant felt that Chen Xing's date was a success.

But Chen Xing just sent her out, and then the two parted ways, one wanted to go back to school, and the other wanted to continue shopping.

Even though the West is relatively open about sex, it is still difficult to meet a typical European beauty to a hotel within an hour of meeting, not to mention that she is a graduate student of a well-known school... unless Chen Xing meets a fan who knows him .

But that's another story.

Moreover, Chen Xing doesn't have that kind of worldly desire now. He just arrived in Sweden today, and his mind is entirely on admiring the Nordic scenery and architecture.

After being reminded by Britney, Chen Xing knew that there was a commercial street about 500 meters away from the restaurant. The signboard was a big Gallerian, which was easy to identify. Chen Xing walked in the direction she said and saw the signboard.

The appearance of this commercial street is five points similar to that of Huaxia Wanda, but it is not a separate building, but in the middle of the street, with only two sides facing the street outside. The glass windows on the first floor It is very transparent, and the models inside are wearing Nordic-style fashions.

In this season, what is Nordic special fashion?
It's a down jacket.

The dry and cold environment in Northern Europe is especially suitable for wearing down jackets. Just like the Northeast of China, as long as the down jackets are worn well, the inside will not feel damp and cold.

This kind of warm happiness in winter is something that Southwesterners like Chen Xing can't experience.

Speaking of cold, it must be colder in northern China, or places like Northern Europe, and the low temperature in the south is only about zero degrees, but even people from Harbin will feel uncomfortable in winter when they arrive in Rongcheng. This is not a joke. real.

Having said that, Chen Xing also went to the commercial street to buy some thicker clothes.

It was too troublesome to bring a down jacket in the suitcase, so Chen Xing only brought this coat, and bought a few to hang in the hotel wardrobe so that he could change it.

Walking into the Gallerian, the temperature inside suddenly rose a little.

There are many clothing brands on the first floor, and there are restaurants upstairs, because he smelled a little barbecue, and at the same time, someone came down with ice cream.

He wanted to go upstairs, but at this moment he saw a very familiar brand.

Marc Polo?

Chen Xing had worked with this company before, and they brought a lot of teams to France for publicity during Paris Fashion Week. Chen Xing also met a Swedish female model, who seems to be called Esther Gestavosson?

I haven't contacted her for several months. Chen Xing almost forgot this person's name. When he has time, he will see if he can ask her to be his tour guide and let her take him around.

She is also very young, born in 01, one year older than Chen Xing, but she is already a world-class model, really amazing.

If it were Chen Xing who didn't have a system, he would probably still be studying hard in junior college.

It's no use being handsome without talent, and he didn't know he was talented in photography at the time, and even if he knew, he couldn't afford a camera.

Chen Xing felt that the Guangzhou Restaurant had played a big role in being able to get to this point, otherwise he would have a whole body of photography skills, even without a camera.

Maybe everything will change after that, and I won't be in Paris Haute Couture.

Go back there and explore another store?
Chen Xing walked into MarcPolo with these miscellaneous things in mind.

This is a Swedish high-end fashion brand, with simple styles, high-quality fabrics, and neat silhouettes, it has quickly become a new favorite in the international market. I heard that last winter, it played its best in Paris, and its sales were overwhelmed by some old brands. Fashion brands can't hold their heads up.

This store has a huge area, but there are not many places to really put clothes, more are various sculptures, decorations and so on.

Swedish clothing stores seem to like to put sculptures in their stores. Just now, some stores on the street also have them. At first he thought they were mannequins, but after seeing more, he realized that they like to put everything in the store. But the premise At least it looks harmonious.

Just like in this store, the bright modern design and sports-style decoration complement each other with a running athlete model.

"What style of clothes does the guest want to choose?"

"I'll take a look first."

"Ok."

The store is air-conditioned and not cold. The waiter is wearing a pink shirt and skirt, which looks particularly energetic.

Chen Xing glanced at it for a while, and after admiring the taste of the people selected in this store, he paid more attention to these clothes. He didn’t necessarily only buy down jackets. If he liked them, he could also buy more. At worst, he would find logistics to transport them back when he left. Home, it's all small things.

"Can I try it on?"

"can."

Chen Xing thought of how he accidentally saw Britney just now, hesitated for a while, and chose a set of brightly colored clothes.

It's a bit too conspicuous...

Sky Blue and Royal Blue.

The blue sky color is a lighter blue, which is the same as the color of the sky under normal circumstances, and royal blue is much deeper, which is deeper than the ordinary blue seen on the computer. Some convenience stores like to use this blue color. Kind of blue to base your own signboard.

Because conspicuous.

A royal blue shirt, sky blue slacks and a hat, this set makes Chen Xing completely return to the handsomeness and vitality that he should have at this age... It's just a little cold to go out, so he took another sky blue Color, a jacket in the same color as the trousers.

Such a set of clothes is handsome, but it depends on the person.

You need to be a little paler.

Fortunately, Chen Xing hasn't been out in the sun recently, and his skin is quite fair now. After putting on such a set of clothes, the shopping guide lady who accompanied her was stunned. When she took him to another area to buy winter clothes , and asked Chen Xing in a low voice if he was an overseas student and where he studied.

As soon as he came here, Chen Xing was shocked by a picture on the wall.

I haven't seen this photo for almost a year. I didn't expect that after the last parting, the first encounter was in Sweden?

This is a photo on the wall. If someone passes by on the street and looks inside the store, you can see this photo through the glass that is as clean as it is. After zooming in, it is beautiful and clear, blue The sky, the white snow, and a group of people walking towards the top of the snow mountain.

Correct……

You read it right, this is Chen Xing's snow mountain series that won the Best Story Award at the French Winter Photography Festival.

This is too coincidental, right?

Chen Xing was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time. He felt a sense of pride brewing in his heart, because this brand is a high-end Nordic clothing brand, not an ordinary brand store of small Nordic designers. It's really something to be proud of here.

But he also wanted to ask... have you paid the copyright fee?
Well, it's none of Chen Xing's business anyway.

Chen Xing was too young and not well-known when he took this work. This photo was given to the Paris Art Association who took good care of him at that time, so no matter what you want to do with this work, you will benefit from it. Both belong to the Paris Art Society.

It's just that the photographer can't change.

Alas, what a pity.

I don't know how many rights to use this piece of work have been sold by them. After I go back, I have to have a good chat with President Zhou, or at least treat myself to a few meals.

The shopping guide girl saw Chen Xing staring at the picture with wide eyes, she explained with a smile:
"This is a piece of work taken by a photographer from China, Chen, in his country. It can be seen from the people on the photo. Our boss said that the snow mountain series taken by this photographer has a dynamic force , At the same time, it can also make people feel the cold from the snow-capped mountains, so it is placed here, and many customers who come to our store like it very much.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that Chen Xing was an Asian. Although she could speak English well, she might be from China, so she asked curiously, "Are you from China?"

"Correct."

"Look at you, do you know this photographer?"

"know……"

Not only do I know him, but you also know him, and you wanted to add him as a friend just now.

"That's so envious of you. I also want to have a photographer friend, so that he can take a lot of photos for me. Hehe, I heard that our boss admires this photographer very much. Maybe he will be invited sometime Come to Sweden for our press conference."

"really?"

"I also heard the gossip, well, guest, what do you think of this dress?"

After chatting for a long time, I finally returned to the topic.

If you want to compare the top industries in Northern Europe, the winter clothing industry must be one of them, especially the down jackets in Northern Europe.

Although expensive, the quality is definitely excellent.

Chen Xing bought two pieces, and bought other things along the way. The total price of the six fashion items exceeded 6 Swedish kronor. In just one day, he almost spent all the exchanged kronor.

No wonder it is said that people who travel are the most willing to spend money.

Chen Xing may not be able to spend so much money at home for a few months.
