The aftermath of the European currency crisis continues, but the itinerary of Simon and Janet has not been affected. Even the September 26th Wall Street Journal article was actually arranged in advance.
I've been to Helsinki, participated in Gucci's show, and the rest of my time is playing around.
There are too many beautiful scenery in Europe in autumn. Fairy tale towns surrounded by red leaves can be found everywhere.
So it was until September 29, when Milan Fashion Week closed.
Simon and Janet return from the Alps to attend the Closing Party of fashion week.
Due to the rapid rise of Gucci, Milan fashion week, which was only more concerned than London Fashion Week, has been quite lively in recent years.
Most obviously, there are more supermodels and celebrities in fashion week than before.
Moreover, with the increasing influence of westero system in the fashion and entertainment industry, many people are actually coming for Simon.
"After the New York Fashion Week, I hope to visit Los Angeles. Simon, can you let me take part in the Weimi show, even if it's only one show?"
The party scene of the closing ceremony.
With a glass of red wine and blue eyes looking at Simon, Naga Allman leaned slightly towards the man with a kind of pathetic begging expression.
The girl is wearing a black suspender dress tonight. The style is ordinary, but it's hard to cover her slender figure.
As Simon's "leggy" girl, she not only failed to get the endorsement quota of the vermeen angel like Yasmin Gary, but also failed to get the show qualification of the ordinary vermeen angel.
The main reason is that Naga olman's appearance and figure are more suitable for high fashion, and she lacks the beautiful face and slim figure that the vermeen Angel needs. On the other hand, the girl's original career focus has been in Europe, usually resident in Paris. After becoming famous, she began to expand her business in North America, but in fact, she doesn't speak English very well now. She just talked with Simon in German.
As a result, the original selection of Vermeer angels, Naga olman simply did not participate.
Of course, because it is held up by Simon, it is not good not to participate in the fashion show personally run by the other party, so I specially explained to Simon through elite senior management.
Simon also thinks that girls are not suitable for the show, so he doesn't care.
Many people in the circle understand the reason, but they don't prevent some media from saying something about it.
It's also the "waist essence" and "leg essence" held by westero himself. Waist essence is qualified as the spokesperson of Weimi angel, but leg essence can't even participate in the Weimi show.
So, is it out of favor, is it because of something that angered westero, or is there something else?
Some supermodels in fashion circle become famous by becoming muses of a certain brand designer. Even if they fall out of favor, their fame will still exist.
However, if the current circle falls out of favor in front of westero, there will be some serious problems.
Hollywood is not without such a precedent.
For example.
Meg Ryan.
Westrow is really good at flattering women, but if a woman is neglected, the end will be miserable.
Naga Allman's agency has more than once hinted through some media platforms that the girl didn't participate in the Vimy show. It's just that the image is not appropriate. Moreover, the girl also has an endorsement cooperation with melisandro's CK brand, so it has nothing to do with whether she was ignored by westero.
However, some media always like to watch the excitement, not too big.
Moreover, the pool of fashion circle is not big after all. If a new person with supermodel potential can be suppressed, no matter the well-known model or the agency with competitive relationship, they will not mind pushing.
So, explanation is cover up.
The cooperation with CK can't be cancelled because of the agreement. If there is cooperation in the future, it's not necessary.
Conclusion: it must have been ignored!
Sophia actually talked about these things with Simon when he was gossip, and Simon naturally didn't care about them.
At this time, looking at Naga Allman's pathetic appearance, she realized that this incident seemed to have a great impact on the girl.
After thinking about it, Simon shook his head and said, "but, Naga, the main fitting and rehearsal were over last month. Now you plug in, at least one theme needs to be rearranged."
Seeing that Simon's tone was not too firm, Naga olman immediately said, "Simon, I've contacted Mr. Casablanca. As long as you agree, elite can replace one of her models with me."
This time, there are 40 people in the team, most of whom are from elite, Ford and other famous model agencies. It seems that it is not a big problem to replace one of them, who is not so famous, and who is headed by Naga olman.Now that the girl is ready and elite is available, Simon nods.
As for who was replaced, Simon didn't care much.
However, he still warned: "arrange this matter well, and don't make any messy news. And since you missed the rehearsal in August, stay in Los Angeles after New York Fashion week to prepare for it. "
"I know," she said, nodding with a little joy as she had just swept away her pathetic face
Simon looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help sighing.
Women are fickle indeed.
Noticing Simon's expression, Naga Allman quickly converged and said, "Simon, you're going back to North America, aren't you?"
Simon didn't know, so, "Yeah."
"Well," the girl looked forward to, "can I take a ride?"
Simon was stunned, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, Milan International Airport."
Seeing the girl jump again, Simon added with a smile, "but this time there will be a lot of people together."
In recent days, not only Naga Allman, but also many people have asked whether they can take Simon's Boeing 767 when they return to North America.
From Madonna and Cindy Crawford to Naga Allman, Simon couldn't resist the small entanglement of Queen Michael at first. Madonna just came here to support Gucci show. It's not too much to ask for a pick-up.
Now that there was a beginning, other people mentioned that Simon would just come down, and then he would just take the initiative to invite some people together.
It's certainly not harmful to send this kind of kindness along with the flow.
As a medium-sized airliner with a standard capacity of 200 passengers, even if it is converted into a private plane, it is easy to take dozens of people together.
In addition to Simon and his wife's own entourage, more than 20 other men and women will eventually return to North America together, and Janet has even planned an air party for this purpose.
After settling her own business, Naga Allman noticed that rolling stone singer Mick Jagger and Jerry hall came together, politely said hello to each other, and took the initiative to leave.
As one of the famous models of this era and the wife of Mick Jagger, Jerry hall certainly won't miss several fashion weeks.
Simon said hello to them and casually talked to Mick Jagger about movies and music.
Today, wearing a silver dress, her temperament is much stronger than that of Naga, who just left. Jerry hall just stood by and occasionally met the two men.
However, when a woman looks at Simon casually, she will show a slightly funny smile in her expression.
It seems to remind Simon of something.
Simon certainly won't forget the weekend he spent in Hawaii with Jerry hall and another famous model, Ella McPherson.
Of course, Simon didn't feel guilty in front of her husband.
In front of this couple, are not fuel-efficient lights.
Even though he's married to Jerry hall and has children, Mick Jagger's affair will appear in the gossip media every two days.
Simon, of course, has no position to point out anything to Mick Jagger. The only thing he does well is that he won't let the media catch anything.
After a few words of conversation, Jerry hall, who was just about to leave, said, "Simon, at the party the night before yesterday, I heard Madonna say that you can take your plane back to North America. Can you take me with you?"
"Sure," Simon nodded, realizing something, looked at Mick Jagger and asked, "isn't Mick going to North America together?"
Mick Jagger shook his head and said, "I have other schedules on my side."
"It's a pity, because there are more people together this time. Jennie has specially prepared an air party. If you can get together, it will be more lively."
"I'm really sorry. I can only look forward to the next time."
When the couple left, Simon socialized several times. Seeing that the time was almost the same, he found Janet in the crowd and planned to leave.
Sophia also went back to the villa by Lake Como in the northern suburb of Milan.
When she got home, it was more than 10 o'clock in the night. Janet, who was very maintenance oriented, went to take a bath and planned to have a rest as soon as possible, but Sophia was not sleepy. She also talked to Simon about an idea she had just had at the party.
Melisandro now has a total of four brands, Gucci is the main revenue, accounting for more than 70% of melisandro's revenue. Van clenburg and CK are also developing very rapidly. The last Chateau lato, which is Simon's personal collection, does not pursue commercial interests. However, because of the past experience, Sofia is also able to manage Chateau lato. Now, the best wine in the Chateau is basically reserved, but the annual output, through the operation of Sofia, is also steadily producing good profits.
All in all, except for CK, which has just been acquired, the other three brands continue to provide melisandro with more or less profits.For most companies, with sufficient funds, they will choose to further expand.
Compared with LVMH, which has Dior and LV pillars, melisandro does have a big gap to catch up with.
However, Sofia has not yet found a suitable brand to acquire. In the luxury industry, it is even more difficult to create a brand from scratch, so the idea of developing other businesses came into being.
Inspired by the experience of dealing with the media during the operation of melisandro in the past few years, Sofia recently came up with the idea of setting up a special fashion TV station.
This will increase melisandro's voice in fashion media.
The pattern of paper media in the fashion circle has already taken shape, so it is not easy to get involved.
Although there are special fashion TV stations, their influence is not great. They are usually just channels that people will jump over. For the time being, no one in the TV industry thinks that the TV stations specializing in fashion can make too large a contribution.
After all, fashion is a little far away from ordinary people.
In Simon's memory, the most famous fashion channel should be Fashion TV, which is headquartered in France.
However, after listening to Sophia's thoughts, Simon turns on the TV in the living room and looks for a moment, but there is no Fashion TV.
Let women switch several fashion channels for themselves. Sofia has shown several channels in succession, but they are not Fashion TV.
After a careful review of his memory, Simon remembered that fashion TV, which was later famous, should have been formally established in 1997, but it has not yet appeared.
For professional TV stations, Simon does not have the bias that the traditional TV industry habitually thinks it may not be able to do.
When Ted Turner founded CNN, the whole industry felt that a special news channel could not make a difference. Now, obviously, everyone no longer thinks so.
The same must be true of fashion channels.
In my memory, Fashion TV, though headquartered in Paris, France, is a typical global TV station, and its coverage rate is no less than that of those well-known cable TV channels.
This fact also proves the feasibility of professional fashion channel.
Since Fashion TV, originally a time line, was founded in 1997, it can develop into a global fashion media. If a fashion TV station is set up from scratch five years in advance, it will have the same potential as long as it is operated properly.
The current westero system also has the resources and capital strength to operate a TV station from scratch.
"It's a good idea. I'll ask Bob to find some suitable people and work out a plan first," Simon said. He mainly went to Sophia's expression and said with a smile, "do you think that if we just set up a fashion TV station attached to melisandro, just to promote the brand of melisandro, how much development can this TV station have Potential? "
Sophia originally just wanted to set up a fashion TV channel attached to melisandro's company. Simon also understood that this idea was taken away by the little man in front of her.
If you think about it carefully, it's really hard to make much progress if you just depend on melisandro.
If it is done by danielis entertainment to avoid being labeled as melisandro, this fashion TV station will have the hope to gain the recognition and cooperation of the whole fashion industry. Moreover, if the TV station does it, even if it appears to be neutral, it will inevitably show its inclination towards melisandro.
Although knowing that Simon's choice was right, Sophia, out of a woman's instinct, appropriately expressed some helpless resentment and murmured a few words about the man.
