Chapter 103 - Anna Sue

Departing from the West Coast at 8:00 a.m. and arriving in New York, it was 3:00 p.m. East Coast time.

It was the fourth day of the seven-day New York Fashion Week.

The woman came to New York at the opening of the fashion week last week to take care of the fashion show of CK and other Melisandre brands, mainly to personally control the Melisandre New York Fashion Week brand promotion activities last Saturday.

The company's main subsidiary in the US is still CK, as well as a few other smaller niche brands. However, the sales of all Melisandre's brands in the United States account for more than 30% of the group's total sales, so although brands such as Gucci, Versace, Burberry and others will not hold fashion shows in the United States, Melisandre has always attached great importance to the North American promotional and marketing activities.

Both of them had been busy for many days, and after meeting, they tacitly agreed not to talk about work at the first time, and took a long shower with Simon, embraced in the master bedroom bed for a short rest, and in the blink of an eye it was already twilight.

The words are sure to be disliked. But they didn't even warn you, so that's deliberate."

Last month, August 18, was the first birthday of Snow and Greenidge, born to Sophia.

Simon still remembered it occasionally at first, and forgot about it when things got too busy, and ended up arriving in Melbourne the day after the two little ones' birthdays, when he heard Sophia mention it and voluntarily admitted her mistake: "Or you'd better just come to me, you really forgot about it."

The main thing is never sensitive to such things as birthdays.

Not only did he rarely celebrate birthdays in his previous life, but even this one was very unfamiliar with such things as birthdays since he was a child, and even Simon wasn't that sensitive to all of the world's holidays, as they had nothing to do with him for many years once upon a time.

Sophia helped Simon to fasten the last button, looked up to lock eyes with him, suddenly with some pity, leaned in, and kissed Simon, softly said: "It's not your fault, I'll just look for Jenny, she knew that you ...... still deliberately did not remind, and afterwards deliberately told me that you did not attend Snow's and their birthday party! , just making bad intentions."

"Well, it's okay to settle scores, but remember not to fight."

Sophia gave Simon a blank look and suddenly asked quickly, "What day is Melbourne's birthday?"

Simon paused, seeing Sophia's eagerness, and quickly replied, "Probably, March 13th, well, no, it's Jenny's birthday."

"I don't even know if I should be mad that you can't remember Murr's birthday either, but you can get away with saying Jenny's birthday."

"Actually, your ...... er, let me think."

"No thinking," Sophia glared at him and said, "We're not going to talk about it, you go on down."

Simon didn't leave, surveying the wonderful body of the woman in front of him in the glowing light, "Since you're helping me get dressed, I'll help you too."

"Don't."

Simon, however, was in the mood, always used to undressing women, hadn't helped with it yet, this had to be a try. So they were busy again, and almost didn't intend to leave the bedroom if they didn't have a schedule to keep later.

They went downstairs together, and dinner was ready.

The housekeeper, Angele Davis, personally served the two men dinner, occasionally glancing over at Sophia's glowing red face with envy.

It was close to eight o'clock in the evening as they chatted about the latest trivialities and ended a cozy dinner.

There was a fashion show tonight at 8:30, and there was an early appointment to see it, as well as an after-party afterwards.

It was a small brand that Melisandre had quietly picked up earlier in the year, so it didn't matter if the show was on the runway or not.

It was only on the car ride out of her Fifth Avenue apartment to Bryant Park that Sophia said about the brand she was attending the show with: "A brand created by a Chinese woman called Anna Sue, who started out with makeup products in the eighties and only ventured into fashion and had her first show in '91, with a very avant-garde and alternative design style, so it's always been relatively niche. "

After Melisandre's two major 'carrier battle groups' took shape, Simon no longer interfered too much with the subsequent development, and such small mergers and acquisitions would not attract too much attention from him.

However, when Sophia mentioned it, Simon still said, "Avant-garde, alternative, doesn't this overlap with CK?"

"Of course not, exactly, CK is edgy and daring, and Anna Sue is alternative and gorgeous, you'll understand when you take a look later."

Simon nodded, more than a little curious.

She has been pursuing her career since graduating from Parsons School of Design in the 1970s, initially using a rented apartment as a studio and relying on hair stylists and other jobs to subsidise her finances. It took over a decade of perseverance to make a breakthrough in the late eighties. And to this day, Anna is a workaholic, working over ten hours a day, seven days a week, and knowing all that in the beginning, I thought it would be right to invest in the company of such a designer."

Simon nodded along.

A little backtracking of memory, he found that the brand Anna Sue was still relatively present until a decade or two later, and couldn't help but agree with Sophia's judgment.

The fashion field, whether it was Gucci, Dior, Chanel, these first line of large, or Anna Sui, Koy, Donna Karen and other second-line brands, are the result of tens of hundreds of years in the fashion world after the great waves, the process of countless ambitious to impact the top of the fashion pyramid brands were shot dead on the beach, for most brands, to survive more than ten years, is a success, as for more than a hundred years, considered a miracle is not too much.

Since Simon's memory of Anna Sui can still be seen many years later, whether or not the other alternative niche, the brand is good enough to be considered excellent.

And the success behind excellence has never been easy.

This was the first public appearance of Anna Sue since its acquisition by Melisandre, and it was actually a pretty important marketing push, so the show was only a shabby affair with a much larger rented tent than the other brands, and a full upgrade in terms of models and guests.

In order to make it relatively easy for the brand to get more media space, even the date of today's show was deliberately chosen. In the second half of New York Fashion Week, with many of the biggest names having finished their runway shows the previous weekend, and with Melisandre's ability to control media resources, there aren't many brands that can compete with Anna Sue for eyeballs next.

Of course, after all, it's a mini-brand with an annual turnover of only about 20 million dollars, even if Melisandre gives a breakthrough resource this time because of the first public presentation after the acquisition, it won't be too much after all. The two Simon's attendance, completely on a whim, may circulate some news in a small circle, but will not appear on the public media pages.

Through the tent backstage into the show, a round-faced brunette wearing a black trench coat and not tall enough to personally come to meet, it is Anna Sue herself, the other saw Simon, revealing an obviously incredulous expression of surprise, and even forgot to greet Sofia, followed by an assistant behind Anna Sue look like a girl is to stare at the eyes to the largest, mouth is not open.

Sophia had to take the initiative to 'wake up' the two, but had to make a silent gesture in advance.

It was only then that Anna Sue reacted and tentatively raised her hand, then shrank away for a second time before managing to muster the courage to reach over towards the young man in front of her, "You, hello, Mr. Westeros, I'm Anna."

Simon shook the other man's hand gently, "Hello, Anna, can you show us to the front desk, oh, and I hope you don't mind if I bring two sidekicks temporarily."

"Of course, of course no problem," Anna Sue nodded evenly, aiming at the two black-clad bodyguard figures following Westeros, making a gesture of invitation and sideways, "Mr. Westeros, this way."

Going to the front naturally had to pass through the backstage, dozens of staff and models who were preparing for the show were on this side, naturally the news could not be hidden, and soon everyone in the arena was aware of Simon's arrival, the entire show began to stir, and if it wasn't for the sight of Sophia traveling with him, several of the big goblins who were close to Simon would have already made it to the front.

No wonder these people were so.

This was Simon Westeros!

It was hard for anyone to remain calm when they thought about the wealth, power and even a series of auras that the young man possessed that meant that the other man could easily make everyone in the room, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

Just like for the non-stage post models who are about to take the stage, it would be a step up if they could be seen by Simon Westeros tonight. For many of the guests at the front of the stage, if they can get a hold of Simon Westeros as a connection, the other side will be able to hold them over until they die if they drop a hair.

For the press tonight ...... well, the press didn't stand a chance.

When Westeros took a seat with Sophia Fessi, before they took pictures, there were already staff members who came forward to remind certain things, and then could only obediently comply, after all, don't say that the media reporters on the scene, even if they were the big boss behind the scenes, even if they had no interest in the Westeros system, but a little bit of thinking about what happened to the Hearst family, they didn't dare to mess with each other casually. As for them, if they were recklessly disobeying the rules, they would even lose their jobs by the minute.

Not to mention, most of the current media were actually inextricably linked to the Westeros system, as in the case of the live footage, which was entirely the media under Daenerys Entertainment.

This is the state of mind of the two worlds, coupled with these years of sharpening, Simon for this kind of because of their own agitation has been able to do like water, and Sophia together in the end of the runway steps stands the last row of two will not be photographed by the camera line of sight and very good seats, but also with great interest to appreciate the layout of the show and the front row of guests.

The show was nothing special, after all, the budget was there, unlike Gucci, who is the core of Melisandre's 'carrier battle group', who planned to use a castle as the show venue this year.

Instead, the guests are quite interesting.

First up was the retired 'waif' Yasmin Gary, who had just also been seen backstage with 'leggy' Naja Orman.

The two women are still in some sort of relationship with Simon, but they've become more intimate with each other because of Simon's constant pinching, basically sitting on a pair of lesbian sides, and the two leprechauns have also settled into the most gay-friendly San Francisco, which Simon didn't see last week simply because Nadja isn't retired like Yasmin and is continuing her fashion career.

Secondly, there was Cathy Hilton with her two daughters, Paris and Nikki, who noticed Simon's gaze, and mother and daughter three responded with a look, and Nikki Hilton, who had been told by Simon last time at the Hall's that she preferred her sister to her sister, even quietly and shyly waved her little hand at Simon.

Immediately there were three more girls, one with spectacular breasts, obviously Christina Hendricks, while the three girls were apparently Grace's original 'Ordinary Girl' net girl group created as Simon had suggested.

With the support of Elite and the success of her own strategy, the three girls were the most successful group of girls on the internet platform.

According to the later model, Netflix and Fashion Week, too, were quite a good fit for a mutually beneficial partnership. Simon made no mention of this, but Grace had apparently tapped into it without a teacher.

The three girls had been sneaking glances at Simon's side, but when they saw the man looking at them, they were either guilty or reserved and withdrew their eyes. Simon also noticed Christina Hendricks, seemingly unintentionally, clasping her arms under her chest and holding them up, the more she held out two tantalizingly thrilling clusters.

Finally, the obvious finale to the evening's guests, Madonna.

Queen Mc had no qualms at all about saving face with her little boyfriend, a fitness instructor who had already given birth to the other woman beside her, and lapped up Simon and sent a flying kiss over.

Simon smiled at Queen Mac and asked Sophia next to him, "What's Maggie doing here?"

Sophia also smiled back at the beckoning Madonna before explaining, "She and Anna have known each other for a long time, and have worn several of Anna's designs in previous years, but of course, this time Anna suggested it and I had her invited."

"Expensive, isn't it?"

Big curry celebrities to attend fashion shows, if not the top kind of mutual enhance the style of coffee to increase the exposure of the brand, generally have to give the appearance fee. What's more, with Madonna's curiosity, even if and Anna Sue know, relationship less than a certain degree, even if to pay will not easily attend the fashion show of this small brand.

Sophia nodded, "$50,000, a friendly price, because Maggie happened to be living in Manhattan during this period of time before she was willing to come over."

That's right.

Simon took another sweeping look around the room, Madonna, the pop diva pressed into service, plus the Hilton family and the Net Girl group, and the 'waif' who rarely made public appearances after retiring, not to mention the other celebrity guests in the front row that Simon didn't know very well, just those were a pretty good lineup.

And it's good value for money.

After all, Madonna was only taking 50,000, the Hiltons and the Netgalley group must just mean it, and the waifs were probably just there to give the leggings a run for their money.

So thinking, the staff reminded the runway show was about to begin, the lights dimmed and the waiting music soon played.

The rock soundtrack is a rarity.

The runway exit was quickly followed by the appearance of a model, who, unsurprisingly, started off with a pair of long, crazy legs.

The first set of crimson or blood red dresses with dense floral embroidery and beaded tassels was exactly what Sophia had been described as: alternative, gorgeous and visually striking, almost against the current trend of bright and minimalist design.

Not only that, but the smoky makeup and shaggy hairstyle of the leg girl on stage, and even the vintage onyx accessories on her neck, arms and ankles, made the woman look demonic and witch-like.

Simon sized up the leggy goblin's look, casually scanning the stands on either side, and noticed that the guests on stage apparently didn't often see this type of involving style, either looking surprised or cross-eyed.

On stage, after the goblin turned, a second 'witch' appeared.

This was Linda Evangelineista.

Linda's haunting stage style was a perfect fit for the Anna Sue brand, and the girl was wearing a short sleeveless tube dress with Pop-style graffiti painted on it in a dark blue shade.

Sophia whispered into Simon's ear, "I talked to Anna and let her have her own ideas, and this is the result. It's actually quite pretty when you look at it closely, isn't it?"

Simon nodded, "Yeah, but I don't think too many girls will have the courage to wear it out."

"With the right publicity, it will catch fire," Sophia said, adding, "And that's just the first theme, there are three collections, the other two will be a little more restrained. Also, there was going to be a men's collection, intended to be a mix of men and women, which I was persuaded to cut, this brand doesn't need to be that comprehensive yet."

Sophia explained occasionally, and the first theme was gradually coming to an end.

In addition to the opening Naga and Linda, Simon also saw Eva Herzigova, Roberta Chirco and Black Pearl Naomi Campbell three, a total of five supermodel curiosity, but also the capacity limit of this brand of Anna Sue, after all, can not be as starry as the first line of brands, the budget does not allow.

When Roberta Chirco, the supermodel who made a stunning appearance in the summer's James Bond film Ghost Party, took the stage, she noticed the girl's obvious glances, and Simon was teased by Sofia if she had any sense of humor.

In addition to the five, there are two other girls that Simon also knows.

The two girls have obviously worked very hard during this time, and have had months of training during the modeling competition to build up their foundation, and at this point, it seems that the standard of the steps has reached Simon's criteria for selecting the Victoria's Secret Angel.
