National Tide 1980

Afterwards, local reporters in Beijing spoke highly of the costume performance at the opening ceremony.

A reporter wrote, "This is a storm that can be called an ideological shock! French Ambassador Pierre Caton allows us to see the world's fashion trends. At the same time, he is also the creator of new fashion trends. The five thousand years of civilization of the Republic have given us Inspired by him, some of the latest women's clothing he designed are obviously oriental in style, reminiscent of our traditional cheongsam, which can show the beauty of body lines..."

Another reporter wrote this.

"French high fashion has officially entered the Beijing market today. The famous French fashion designer Pierre Carton held a showroom opening ceremony and an exhibition for his clothing and accessories today. From now on, these exhibits will be sold to the public. The only drawback is that these goods can only be purchased with exchange coupons (foreign exchange coupons) for the time being, and the sales targets cannot benefit ordinary people. However, our reporter was very lucky today. He actually got a coat from Pierre Cardin for free. It happened when a photographer asked me to wear one of the exhibits and take pictures with him. Later, Mr. Catton tore off the label on the coat and said gracefully, 'Mr. Reporter, it's yours now.'..."

Another reporter reported this.

"Pierre Carton is worthy of being a contemporary design master. The master himself declared that it was his lifelong honor to have the opportunity to use the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven to set up a showroom. In order to express his gratitude for this kindness and to express full respect for our traditional culture, welcome People from all over the country come to visit for free and feel the charm of fashion culture. In addition, the master also promised that he will do his best to maintain the ancient buildings during the opening of the showroom. He is also very willing to fund and hold some art competitions to encourage artists in various fields in our country To create art and use it to deepen friendship and cultural exchanges between the two countries..."

Look, every newspaper is the same, it's completely one-sided praise.

Anyway, it's free to praise people. All the major newspapers in the capital are dumping out baskets of good words!

Unlike domestic reporters who don't have much experience, foreign media who have seen higher-level performances have long been focused on other aspects besides the opening ceremony.

An Associated Press reporter reported.

"In the Republic, which no one was optimistic about, Pierre Carton deepened his cooperation with the government. His showroom was established with the support of the government, and his products began to be put on the counters of major shopping malls in the capital. But whether the people of the Republic It remains to be seen whether they can successfully accept the fashions he brings and whether they have the corresponding purchasing power. After all, the Republic is not Japan. Perhaps, Pierre Carton's success will end here, and the Republic will bring him a human status. A major investment failed.”

But on the contrary, France Reuters took an optimistic view.

"The models of the Republic have good looks, and their demonstration of domestic fashion has reached international standards. Pierre Catton said that he is quite confident that Oriental beauties will be introduced to the international fashion T stage, maybe tomorrow..."

Japanese reporters, on the other hand, see the most practical problems.

"Pierre Carton has customized 100,000 PC brand headscarves in the Republic and sold them to the United States and France. Obviously, Pierre Carton is very close to victory. He will shock the French fashion industry again..."

It is obvious that these reports, whether domestic or foreign, are comments of praise, criticism or jealousy.

Anyway, it is extremely beneficial to the business of Pierre Carton Clothing Company.

Such free advertising and the sensational effect of the event made Pierre Carton's reputation skyrocket.

In the Republic, he became a goodwill ambassador among the people in the capital and a friend who focused on international cultural exchanges in the eyes of the officials.

Internationally, his goodwill and brand effect are rapidly expanding, and he has become a clothing tycoon whose business capabilities cannot be underestimated.

Whether he likes it or not, when Pierre Carton successfully entered the market of the Republic.

His French colleagues, and even his peers in the Western world, were destined to be rapidly surpassed by him in career.

A more practical effect is that Pierre Carton's clothes suddenly became popular in the capital.

In the Temple of Heaven Zhai Palace, there is an endless stream of people visiting the Pierre Cardin showroom every day, so traffic restriction measures must be taken on weekends.

The sales situation in the Friendship Store is also surprisingly optimistic.

Suits worth four to five hundred yuan and women's clothing worth three to four hundred yuan can actually be sold more than a dozen sets every day, and almost all of them are purchased by domestic customers.

In fact, this is normal, our republic is poor.

But after all, this is the capital, and there are always some people who can support high consumption and afford luxury goods.

Even in department stores in Wangfujing, Xidan Shopping Mall, and even many stores in Dashilar, people often inquire about PC brand clothing.

Although these people could only return disappointed, they also pushed Pierre Carton to the altar and became a symbol of high-end clothing.

And these are just superficial phenomena. The deeper impact is actually that Pierre Catton's fashion has begun to lead the aesthetic changes of our people.

Although it is not as obvious or exaggerated as a sudden change overnight.

But many beautiful colors soon appeared on the streets of the capital, and women began to wear lipstick.

Large photo studios such as Wangfujing and Dashilar have also successively put up signs saying "We rent suits here."

Wearing a suit to take wedding photos has gradually replaced the old combination of tunic suit and wedding dress, creating a new trend.

And it got out of hand and became a set photo that lasted for many years.

Perhaps this is how history is promoted and developed unconsciously...

As for the last one, of course I have to mention Ning Weimin, the man behind the scenes and the biggest contributor.

Out of consideration for the models' family relationships, he also performed a necessary act of kindness.

That is, in the name of the company, we have told the interviewing media that the photos published can only be full-body photos.

Moreover, he did not keep the one thousand yuan foreign exchange coupon awarded to him by the company.

Instead, they invited the brothers and sisters of the model team to have a roast duck together at "Judequan".

What's very interesting is when a grand celebration banquet is held for the models, and they toast and drink.

Ning Weimin suddenly discovered a new situation.

During the time he left the team, it was only a month.

The team unknowingly formed three pairs of lovers.

These six men and women all dumped their past partners.

But that's not all, because even those other teammates are not idle.

Especially among the female models, it seems that many of them have changed their flower protectors.

It can be heard from their conversations that their new boyfriends include doctors, department directors, pilots and the like...

Perhaps this is a side effect and additional cost of this industry?

Whether it is intentional or not, or whether it is done willingly.

Now that they have embarked on this glorious road, their requirements for life and relationships will no longer be content with being ordinary.

It is destined to become more and more utilitarian.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Qu Xiao, who was drinking soda and joking with his teammates.

And beside her, Shi Kaili was putting a roll of roast duck into her mouth.

He really didn't know when these two girls, who were still very pure at the moment, would become like this.

Two or three years? Or four or five years?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I regret that I recklessly destroyed a piece of worldly purity.

It seems that I shouldn’t have brought Qu Xiao into this circle in the first place!

Am I wrong?
