Chapter 80 Definition of Fashion

(please read, recommend)

Author: Eat wine instead of vegetables

(please read, recommend)

After finishing the single crystal copper, Wang Xu returned to the courtyard with a pile of books on materials recommended by Professor Bian.

Wang Xu originally planned to take a day off, but the clanging sound of decoration completely drove away his sleepiness. How could he forget that there was such a thing?

With Wang Jinghua watching at the construction site, Wang Xu was too lazy to take care of the decoration. He put the things away casually, and Wang Xu rode his motorcycle to Wang Chao Clothing.

Alas, I was born to work hard and never have a day off.

Forget it, let’s add a few more looks to Wang Chao today.

The shop was quite nice, everything was in order, as if it was the same whether or not Wang Xu was there. Wang Xu wandered around the shop like a guest for a while, and then was chased to the back by Tang Yun who was annoyed.

Recently, the number of customers in the tailor shop has begun to increase, especially after the big party.

Those guests who spoke with Northeastern and North China accents were really generous. They spent thousands of dollars casually and even took home several matching sets.

And all the people who come here are men. They don't choose at all, and they don't know how to choose. When they come, they say hello to Tang Yun. After all, they have met at the party and they are familiar. They exchange a few words and exchange business cards.

Then just report the height and weight directly, let Tang Yun match two sets, pay the money directly, pick up the goods, and leave, simply and neatly, without any sloppiness.

Tang Yun recognized that they were all guests at the big party that day, mainly performance dealers or equipment dealers. Even though they were dressed in rustic clothes, they were really handsome.

In recent years, the country's income has been growing rapidly, and the demand for performance business in various places is almost in short supply. Those who can attract singers from the imperial capital are local talents. They can earn up to 18,000 yuan from just one commercial performance.

Today's commercial performances are quite conscientious. They can last for two hours from beginning to end. Usually there are three or five singers, a band, and a more famous person putting together a platter.

Basically, it depends on the strength of the merchant. The high ones charge 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, the low ones charge 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and even the lower ones charge 3,000 to 5,000 yuan.

Anyway, no matter what price or grade, if you dare to pay 1.8 million, these guys will dare to get the stars of Hong Kong for you.

Although the word "ka position" is not yet called "ka position", it was from this time on that it really gained value.

Performance companies rely entirely on connections to see who can find more famous actors. If you can find Lao Cui, there is no problem in giving you an extra 50,000 yuan per show.

This is why Wang Xu’s party can attract so many people to support him.

It seems to be an irrefutable truth that booming business drives entertainment. In the past two years, the economy has been on the rise, and there is even a sense of fanaticism. The land in Hainan is already waving to people across the country.

This may be the first economic boom in the history of the country, and the income of the people is also rising.

Wang Xu remembered that during this period in his previous life, wages had to rise almost every year in line with the economy. The policy-based wage increase affected most of the people in the country who were eating royal food, and then affected the whole society.

From the standard salary of more than 100 RMB for graduates in the early 1990s to less than 1,000 RMB in the late 1990s, in less than ten years, the salary suddenly increased by one digit.

Going overseas to do business and going out to work have become the most hotly discussed topics in cities and villages respectively.

In the early days of the 1990s, everything was still budding, everything had just begun, but this bud alone was enough to make Wang Xu, a time traveler who relived this era, feel the excitement.

Just this bud has allowed the small tailor shop to receive huge dividends. This week's turnover has begun to grow rapidly. Last week, it was only more than 10,000, but on Sunday, the turnover was almost 20,000 more.

The three part-time girls who worked Sunday shifts were so happy that they easily got two hundred. Each of the three of them almost got an extra sixty or seventy yuan in commission.

By the way, Wang Chao's clothes have increased in price, with an average price increase of 20%, but they can still maintain a steady growth in quantity.

The decision to increase the price was made by Tang Yun. On the day of the big party, she reported it to Wang Xu and explained the causes and consequences. Wang Xu agreed and promised her a few new looks to support the occasion.

It's not entirely because she is too greedy or anything else, but Tang Yun has observed that the price of imported clothing has increased, so she plans to follow the increase. If she doesn't increase, it seems that the price has dropped.

Wang Xu listened to Tang Yun's report at that time and simply agreed to the price increase. Following the price increase of foreign brands, it was the way to establish a brand. Wang Xu did not intend to become a mass brand, so price increases became inevitable.

Wang Xu made a cup of tea in the design room in the backyard and drew new clothing styles leisurely. This time he began to try to add some of his own understanding instead of simply copying.

After making so many sets of clothes, Wang Xu also began to have his own feelings about fashion. Fashion is a circle, Wang Xu forgot which celebrity said it.

But really, what is popular now will come back again in a few decades, but every time it will be different.

I remember there was a movie called "The Devil Wears Prada" in my previous life, and there was a classic line in it.

In a busy office, a fashion queen played by Meryl Streep explains what fashion is to a young fashion editor played by Anne Hathaway.

Wang Xu can't remember the original lines, but the meaning is still fresh in his memory.

The content roughly says, do you think fashion has nothing to do with you? You randomly chose a sky blue jacket from your wardrobe to show your detachment that you don't care about fashion.

But what you chose was not actually a piece of clothing, but this blue color.

But did you know that a few years ago, a famous designer named Oscar de La Renta designed an evening wear series based on this color.

Yves Saint Laurent also showed a military jacket in this color at another clothing conference.

As a result, this color was noticed by more designers, and then it appeared in more designers' clothing series.

Then after the spread of shopping malls, more and more designers saw it and integrated it into their own designs. Then it spread further, which is the origin of popular colors.

And you, the newbie, bought this trendy blue dress off the shelf at some clearance sale.

You see, the blue you choose randomly because you want to be independent of fashion is actually a decision made by fashion designers several years ago, and countless people have contributed to your choice.

This is the meaning of fashion, it is a right to define, it can influence countless people subtly.

From a hundred years ago until now, New York has been competing with Europe for the title of fashion capital.

Countless romantic heroes and countless wealth and capital have become stepping stones in this struggle. What they compete for is the right to speak, the right to define, and the right to describe and annotate beauty and the world.

This is the final battle for the rise of the ugly country that started in World War I, and it is also the last bastion of Europe. Without this, Europe will completely become a foil for the ugly country.

Therefore, even if Wang Xu no longer likes those fashion figures, he must respect them. It can be said that they have retained the last trace of dignity for the entire Europe.
