Chapter 276 - The Competition
Chapter 276: The Competition
On the first day of the competition, people like Jiang Li who were relatively famous in the fashion design industry did not have to come.
However, Jiang Li still wanted to see the works of the other participating designers to see if there were any works that could attract her. Naturally, she was not the only one who had such thoughts. Jiang Li saw several familiar industry bigwigs at a glance.
What surprised Jiang Li was that Blake was actually one of the judges of this competition. This made Jiang Li feel lucky that she did not come here as Qing Xin.
Instead, Jiang Li was dressed in a more ordinary manner. A hat covered most of her face and she sat in a more remote corner. It was usually not easy to be discovered.
The host went on stage and welcomed the official runway show after the performances of the few popular celebrities that were invited.
Designers from all over the world gathered here. Every set of clothes and every series of styles dazzled people’s eyes. It was a very stunning visual feast.
Among them, there were two new and innovative designers from China whose design style was very appreciated by Jiang Li. One blended in with the ancient style elements that were very popular in China at the moment, while the other made use of modern, streamlined, and high-end fabrics. One followed the trend while the other was bold and determined.
Jiang Li silently memorized the names of these two designers and planned to have a good chat with them after the competition.
After the theme series’ clothing exhibition was over, it was time for the individual works to be displayed. Jiang Man’s works had to be displayed at this time.
Generally, those who dared to apply for the individual works to be displayed were either people who were strong and confident in themselves or people who were rich and blindly confident in themselves.
Therefore, everyone was both excited and nonchalant about it.
The organizers wanted financial support, and the majority of the funding came from here.
After all, there were many people who were rich and bored who liked to design things to pass the time and show off their ‘masterpieces’ to the whole world. Every year, the organizers seized the ideas of these plutocrats and added an additional competition segment.
Naturally, there would be one or two stunning works that would appear in this segment every year, but most of them were still plain and without any special features.
Jiang Man’s appearance this day was particularly eye-catching, and it was very easy to attract the attention of others. Her style was designed by a famous stylist in Paris at a large price.
Jiang Man was dressed in a dark Hepburn style. Her beautiful black hair was tied into a bun, and she wore a crown on her head. She wore a black strapless long skirt, revealing a pair of slender, white, and tender legs. The makeup on her face was also very exquisite. It was not as pure and innocent as before, but more bewitching.
Jiang Man had asked the stylist to design this according to her own requirements. However, because Jiang Man’s face was slightly round, and she had almond-shaped eyes and thin lips, it was not suitable for such a bewitching style. Normally, a pure and beautiful style would be more suitable.
However, Jiang Man insisted on it. The stylist was helpless. The final effect was indeed very good, but the stylist still felt that it was a little strange. Nonetheless, when the stylist thought about it, strange beauty was also a kind of unique beauty.
Jiang Man, who was dressed meticulously, naturally caught the attention of many people. There were even a few people who asked Jiang Man if she was a model?
Indeed, if it was possible, Jiang Man wished that she could go up on the runway and walk on the runway herself.
It was almost time for Jiang Man’s own work. Jiang Man could not help but feel a little nervous and excited.
Jiang Man heard from the organizer that Qing Xin was not coming today. Although it was a pity that Qing Xin could not see her own work, it was not a big problem. When she won the award, Qing Xin’s attitude would naturally change.
Jiang Man felt that the clothes designed by the designers on the stage were not as unique as her own.
Jiang Man had gotten people to collect the most expensive materials before tailoring them. The clothes had to have a sense of design, but if the material was not good, the color and style of the clothes would not look good.
The clothes made of expensive materials would naturally look much better than the clothes made with other materials.
It had to be said that Jiang Man had indeed defeated many of the other designers present.
However, she was far from being able to amaze the crowd, nor did she leave any deep impression on them.
Those who were chatting with Jiang Man just now thought that her work was definitely not simple when they saw this beautiful and gorgeous girl in front of them.
However, when they really saw the wine-red evening dress designed by Jiang Man, they could not help but feel disappointed.
The people who came to watch the competition were either rich or powerful. They had seen all kinds of storms and waves. When they saw Jiang Li’s work, their originally full of anticipation was greatly reduced.
They also knew why Jiang Man could participate in this competition. They could not compete with people who used their wealth.
