Chapter 961: Chapter 390: This Guy Is Crazy_3
With a light laugh, nodding: "It’s should be like that. If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me, better than mixing with those whose origins are unknown!"
"Ha!"
Tang Xintian rolled her eyes with a cold scoff, muttering through clenched teeth: "And then I’ll be massaging your legs and back, right? You think you’re something? You’re not any better!"
That’s how it feels when you’re close.
Tang Xintian’s emotional control is excellent; she just doesn’t want to control it in front of Han Lie anymore.
In other words... being teased is actually a good thing.
Arriving at the innermost VVIP room, several rows of clothing racks were pulled apart, filled with various ready-to-wear garments.
The appearance of the out-of-season new products was far sloppier than Han Lie anticipated.
These clothes were not meticulously displayed on proportional mannequins but rather crammed on long horizontal rods, the kind that could be pushed around carelessly.
Uh, they looked particularly cheap...
Mousse spoke softly: "Mr. Han, these are all our out-of-season new designs, mostly fall and winter ready-to-wear, with a small portion being the designer’s trial editions of fall haute couture. I will introduce them to you one by one..."
Tang Xintian’s interest was immediately piqued.
"Could you please explain what the designer’s trial editions in haute couture mean?"
"It’s like this."
Mousse picked out a long gown with an overcoat, hanging it under the lights for a detailed explanation.
"Haute couture is exclusive design, theoretically tailored to the client’s conditions, but that’s just in theory.
In reality, each designer will make some trial designs in advance based on the fashion trends of the year, fabric popularity, and changes in patterns.
These designs are mainly showcased at various shows to display the designer’s concept and communicate to customers their understanding of fashion.
Without this segment, how can designers market themselves to potential clients?
Once a client shows interest, the designer modifies the runway version specifically according to the real image and specific requirements of the haute couture client.
Thus, the final haute couture garments sold are vastly different from the initial trial designs.
This guarantees exclusivity and uniqueness.
Therefore, there is no such thing as ’out-of-season haute couture’; haute couture is always tailored specifically for individual clients.
These trial design editions are made into samples with the quality, concept, and meticulous craftsmanship of haute couture.
Most trial design editions end up being abandoned, stockpiled, or exclusively for display, while a small portion undergoes modifications and adjustments, solidifying into high-end ready-to-wear.
The biggest difference between them and the out-of-season ready-to-wear over there is—
The ready-to-wear there has a 90% chance of eventually appearing on store shelves for sale.
When you wear it in advance, months later, someone will wear your version and suddenly realize that you were leading the fashion frontier early on.
Whereas the trial editions have only five to ten pieces globally, with a very low probability of future production.
When you wear it, you can point to the designer’s signature and tell your friends, this is So-and-so’s design, the only one in the country, and they can’t ever buy it anymore..."
Mousse knows how to tell a story.
Not just Tang Xintian, but even Han Lie started to feel that wearing out-of-season has a kind of high-status uniqueness.
Is this thing awesome?
In terms of basic wear value, it’s no different from the 19 yuan free shipping clothes bought on a bargain site, equally can only be worn twice, and once washed, it’s wasted.
However, when it comes to the value of showing off, this thing is more than just a set of clothes.
It’s an attitude, a fashion, a threshold, and a way to distinguish us from them.
Han Lie looked at the obviously tempted Tang Xintian, laughing lightly with a wave of his hand.
"Choose! Pack up everything you fancy."
Tang Xintian was a bit bewildered: "It’s just one party, why buy so much? I won’t have a chance to wear them..."
Han Lie’s sharp eyebrows rose slightly, leaking dominance.
"What’s so great about wearing one out-of-season piece? I want there to be no other set of LV designer sample clothing in the Magic Capital! Whether you wear it or not, others shouldn’t even see it!"
What level? Wearing the same clothes as my Sister Da Tang!
Tang Xintian reached out to cover her mouth, completely wet... uh, her eyes.
This guy, is he a lunatic?!
