Chapter 1095: Fashion circle food chain
After saying this, Giselle once again waved his makeup artist, and did not continue to bargain with Tom Cory.
Looking at the girl in front of her, she decided to look at her, and Tom Cory was in a hurry. Sweeping around, other models who are making up on the surface seem to be as usual, seemingly did not notice his embarrassment, but Tom Cory can clearly feel the atmosphere of a gloating in the entire tent.
Tom Corey suddenly missed a decade ago, even five years ago.
At that time, the executives of these well-known brands were definitely the top of the food chain of the entire fashion circle. Even the top models were not so daunting in front of them. Those models that were not famous enough were more of them. The prey that can be sought in the eyes of the human.
In just a few years, everything has changed.
The emergence of the Vimy show made the concept of supermodels deep-rooted in the public mind.
While the top supermodel personal income has increased significantly, the group's status and social influence in the fashion circle has also risen, and their dependence on the traditional fame channels such as magazine covers and brand shows is not so strong. Even now, the situation has already reversed. Fashion magazines need supermodels to log in to cover the sales to enhance sales. The brand show is also inseparable from supermodels to gather popularity.
Although there are some media outlets and big coffees who often criticize the Victorian big show, it is not high, but because Eric is critical to the selection criteria of the Victorian Angels, no one can deny that every angel in the Vimy Corps The title of 'Supermodel' is truly worthy of its name, and with its wide social reputation, even the luxury brands with high styles can't ignore the existence of the Secret Angel.
Even if a high-street brand has no supermodels on the catwalk, it will be questioned by the decline in popularity.
As for how to be a supermodel, five years ago, you can also get the title through repeated promotion of hype through the fashion media. But now, if a model can't get on the big show, it's not a supermodel, and it will only make you laugh and laugh. In recent years, not only the ordinary people, but even the fashion media have gradually recognized this criterion.
The scene stalemate for a moment, Giselle's attitude is not resolute, Tom Cory had to compromise, hurriedly left the show, and went to a coffee shop opposite Bryant Park.
A man and two women who had already waited in the coffee shop saw Tom Cory appear and stood up together.
The man looks like he is in his fifties, with a unkempt curly hair and sunglasses. His name is Paul Roland, the founder and president of the Women Management Company.
One of the two women looks ordinary as an assistant. The other girl is tall and tall, with a petite face, thin lips and a smile on her lips.
Because it is in a heated room, the girl does not wear a jacket, the close-fitting black sweater and white high-waist trousers show her perfect body proportion. Even if she is used to beauty, Tom Cory can’t stand it. I lived a few more eyes, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for this model named Carmen Kathy.
Being stared by Gisele Bundchen, this girl will never want to be in the fashion circle, because Eric Williams is behind her back, and the Brazilian girl and her own circle are just a group of greedy little female wolves. Others don't say that the three spokesmen who just vacated the Wei Mi Legion last year, the entire model circle has broken the head, but now two of them have already fallen to Giselle and her other girlfriends. · Gao Fu, the last one is pending, but the results are hard to predict.
Noting that Tom Cory swept over Carmen Kass, Paul Roland felt a little bad. He took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Tom Cory, inviting the other to sit down and couldn't wait to ask. Road: "Tom, what's the result?"
Tom Cory shook his head as he walked over, obviously not leaving the meaning of drinking coffee, and then said: "Sorry, Paul, I tried my best."
Paul Roland’s face was extremely disappointing, not just for the brand show that had just been lost. Carmen Kass had lost most of the catwalk in this fashion week. He just wants to push Carmen Kass to the CK closing show to see if he can find an opportunity to reach a settlement with Gisele Bundchen.
But now, the other side obviously does not have any meaning of reconciliation.
Tom Cory saw Paul Roland without a word, and then looked at Carmen Kass across the street, and got up and said: "That's it, Paul, the catwalk is about to begin, I have something to do, go back first. It is."
Paul Roland got up again and sent Tom Corey out of the coffee shop. He didn't go back. He looked at his face and looked at his Carmen Kass with a pitiful look. Paul Roland sighed.
WM's original pillar is Kate Moss, but in recent years, Kate Moss's morbid beauty model suddenly lost the favor of the fashion circle, WM was originally only a second-line model agency, Kate Mos popular The decline, the company's influence has also begun to plummet.
In order to reverse the situation, Paul Roland excavated the girl from Estonia last year and also spared resources to help her run a VH1 Model Contest “Model of the Year” in an attempt to make it a new pillar of WM.
However, because of some small mistakes in the promotion strategy, well, it is definitely a big mistake. The company compares her with Gisele Bundchen, who is the most popular in the last two years, in a fashion magazine’s general draft. It’s better to take a look at the popularity of the other party. Of course, it would be better if you could step on Gisele Bundchen.
After all, Carmen Kass has a body that does not belong to Gisele Bundchen, but his face is much more beautiful than the other.
However, the wish is beautiful. The reality is that Paul Roland found himself still underestimating the energy of Gisele Bundchen, or underestimating the degree of love for Eric Williams to the Brazilian girl. .
Paul Roland naturally understands the relationship between Gisele Bundchen and Eric Williams.
just now.
Can only give up Carmen Kathy.
Paul Roland can not care about the targeting of Gisele Bundchen, but it is impossible to ignore Eric Williams behind him. Even without Carmen Kass, there are several other models in WM that can compete for the Victorian big show qualification, but if Carmen Kass provokes Eric Williams behind Gisele Bundchen, Don't want to turn over the whole WM.
Silence for a moment, Paul Roland said to Carmen Kess: "So, Carmen, you have to rest for a while, Europe does not have to go."
Originally, with some expectant Carmen Kess, she almost swayed and fell to the ground. She couldn’t help but step forward and begged: "Paul, Burberry’s opening, they still, haven’t said that they want me. Changed?"
"I will help you push it off. Everything is waiting for this season." Paul Roland took the sunglasses from his pocket and put it on again. He no longer looked at Carmen Kass’s expression, the woman behind her. Assistant said: "Camilla, you should send the card door back."
"Okay, Mr. Roland," the assistant named Camilla nodded, watching Paul Roland go to his car and leaving, and she pulled some of the lost Carmen Kathy: "Carmen, let's go back first. ""
Carmen Kass was dragged by the assistant into a Chrysler on the side of the road. When the door closed, the girl couldn’t help it anymore. She shook her face in the seat and cried out loudly: "How can she bully this person, she How can I bully people so much, how can she bully people like this, @¥%%%%¥##*&%."
Camilla listened to the cries in the back row, and the Estonian language that the girl then mixed with completely unintelligible, just silently started the car.
Her time in this line is not short, and this kind of mutual conflict between models has become commonplace, even within the small WM company, it is full of all kinds of competition, not to mention the entire industry. If a famous model does not want to try to suppress newcomers who may threaten their status, it is not normal.
But think about it, that Gisele Bundchen is really lucky, even climbed Eric Williams.
You know, Carmen Kass, a girl who can only be regarded as a 'new person' in front of her, is actually two years older than the other party. Gisele Bundchen has been famous for three years.
In this way, there is a five-year gap between the two. In the fashion circle, five years, it is almost the replacement of a whole generation of models.
As the car progressed, the girl in the back row turned from crying to sobbing, and from sobbing to silence.
When Camilla stopped the car outside an apartment in Greenwich Village, Carmen Kass seemed to have fully recovered, and there was no such thing as a sigh in the expression, but rather a few more decisions.
The car was just quite steady, and Carmen Kass said, "Can you help me with Camilla?"
Camilla felt that the mood behind her was somewhat wrong. She advised: "Carmen, I think you'd better go back and have a good night's sleep."
Carmen Kass did not hear this advice and continued: "Help me find a gossip reporter, you should be able to find it."
Camilla faintly realized what, and quickly said: "Carmen, you better not do this, Mr. Roland..."
"You have to know," Carmen Kaiser suddenly had a few more points on the edge of the crash, and the slender body leaned forward slightly: "I am paying your salary!"
The sudden outburst of the girl shocked Camilla. After hesitating, she nodded and said, "Okay, but you better know what you are doing."
"Hah, what else can I do," the girl's mouth was always a sudden smile, and it seemed to be laughing, but the corner of her eye was rolling a big tear: "What else can I do in the future?!"
She was the most beautiful and proud girl in her childhood, and she was not willing to stay in an unknown town for a lifetime. She left Estonia at the age of fourteen and spent six years in her 20-year-old. I finally saw a glimmer of success, and then the little wild vision and expectation were turned into a smash.
Paul Roland’s words and attitudes have become more apparent. She is now abandoned by WM.
So what else can she do?
Or, what else can you lose?
The brightly lit Manhattan always makes too many people linger, and the winter is quickly dimmed. In a bar in Greenwich Village, the girl sitting near the floor-to-ceiling deck looks down to the neon on the street. She seems to have heard the sound of the show from Bryant Park.
This can only be an illusion.
Perhaps, I will soon leave this place.
Camilla walked in with a thin white man in his 30s, only gestured to her, but did not come together with the man.
Seeing the girl with brown sunglasses covering half of her face, the man showed a polite smile and reached out: "Miss Kaiser, hello."
Carmen Kass was surprised. Some dissatisfiedly blinked Camilla who was leaving. She also deliberately told the other party not to reveal her identity.
However, just a short-term gaffe, Carmen Kass once again showed an indifferent expression, did not shake hands with the man, sat down and said: "I need you to help me with a person."
"Of course, this is my job, Miss Kathy," the man did not care about Carmen Kathy's coldness, but with a bit of faint banter in his tone, deliberately shouting the other's name.
Camilla certainly didn't tell him the identity of the girl in front of him. However, as an excellent paparazzi, listening to the six roads is only a basic quality. The new Wei Mi Angel Gisele Bundchen suppressed WM to push new people. This is not even news at all in the circle.
The man has even been able to roughly guess the purpose of Carmen Kass to find himself.
Carmen Kass can also feel the contempt of the paparazzi in front of her. She bites her lip gently. Just hesitated for a moment, she took out her own bag and pulled out a thick envelope from the inside and pushed it to the man. In front: "Here is $50,000. You can help me with Giselle Bundchen. If I can get something that I am satisfied with, I can give you another, five, no, $100,000."
Seeing the thick envelope in front of him, the man finally put away his scornful expression, and even took a cold breath.
He did not see 50,000 US dollars. As a professional paparazzi, he sometimes photographed some star scandals, and he sold them at a higher price.
What makes him feel that this $50,000, or the future of $100,000, is estimated to be the entire savings of this girl. As a newcomer model who has just been in the circle for less than half a year, there is no endorsement. Even with some fame, it is absolutely impossible to make much money.
In order to deal with their own enemies, without hesitation, they are all overwhelmed, and this little girl is really embarrassing.
The heart sighed, but the man did not hesitate to put his hand into the pocket, silently pressed the recorder, and then said: "Miss Kaiser, don't you know who is standing behind Gisele Bundchen? ”
