Chapter 124: You Really How to Design Menswear!
Luo Chenxi ignored the crowd’s gossipping and walked to the front of the booth calmly.
Sheng Yu lifted the corner of his mouth. “Little cutiepie from the Royal College of Arts, are you ready? I sincerely hope that your performance today will not disappoint me!”
Luo Chenxi felt her rage rising from within when she remembered that Sheng Yu was the one who decided on the design theme for the compet.i.tion.
Thanks to him, Luo Chenxi had no choice but to design menswear for the compet.i.tion, she even nearly got eaten up by the big bad wolf back at home because of this!
As expected of the students and graduates from St. George’s University, all of them were bad people!
!!
She laughed dryly. “Hehe, thanks for your concern, Chief Sheng. So far, my work this time has been the one that I’m most satisfied with!”
All the designers that were present were shocked as they saw Sheng Yu speaking to Chenxi.
This was because back when Wu Lingshan tried to cotton up to him, he straight up ignored her attempts.
No one would have expected that he would suddenly start talking to a random girl with a familiar and casual tone.
However, what happened next surprised the crowd even further.
Luo Chenxi and the staff opened the curtains at the side of her exhibition booth, revealing ten sets of clothes at the center of it.
The designers who were waiting for a good show stared at Luo Chenxi’s work on the platform in a daze. Her work had rendered them speechless..
The sarcastic remarks that had already reached the edge of their mouth, all at once, choked in their throats.
Luo Chenxi faced the judges as she presented her work with a steady tone, “Dear judges, the theme of my design today is ‘elegance’. True elegance doesn’t come from the superficial pomposity, but from the n.o.bleness of the heart. Just as my design shows, it strives to accentuate the aura of n.o.bility through subtle and gentle cuttings…”
She gave up on the idea of the two sets of the homey-style menswear that she originally completed.
Luo Chenxi did not know why, but the scene of Mu Yichen cooking noodles for her seemed too unreal.
She did not want to show it to the others.
Thus, when Mu Yichen was at work, she created a few more designs to make up for this new series.
After Luo Chenxi finished, she stood quietly at the side as she waited for the judges to grade her.
However, after what seemed like a long while, no one spoke.
Luo Chenxi frowned as she tried to say something when she saw one of the judges walk toward her. “Miss Xin Chen, may I touch these clothes? I’d like to get a closer look at their composition.”
“Uh, huh?”
Luo Chenxi did not expect him to ask such a question.
All the partic.i.p.ants before Luo Chenxi only had their works reviewed from a distance as the judges gave their scores. Wu Lingshan’s work was no exception.
Seeing as the judge asked for it himself, Luo Chenxi could only nod. “No problem, you may look as you please!”
As soon as she answered, several judges stood up together and walked to the exhibition booth. They surrounded that clothes as they looked and touched around.
They were still discussing among themselves.
“She has completely designed a new kind of composition! It’s the first time I’ve seen someone use this way of cutting to show off the clothes’ style!”
“These fabrics are also very exquisite! They don’t seem to cost too much, but they are on point!”
“Truly amazing! The important point is that these clothes could be used for a lot of occasions, I feel like asking her to tailor a set for me now!”
As the judges got fascinated by Luo Chenxi’s work, she was completely baffled while she stood at the side.
At first, she thought that the judge who asked was the only one who wanted to get a feel of the clothes, that was why she agreed in the first place!
However, it turned out that the judge was only a representative. After Luo Chenxi agreed, the entire judicial panel went ahead and started touching her design!
‘Are you kidding me?’
She carefully ironed them one by one this morning, now they were all crumpled!
However, it would have been inappropriate for Luo Chenxi to stop the judges, it was up to them to decide whether or not she could make it into the finals after all.
Sheng Yu was the only one standing by her side with his hands behind his back. He did not go to the booth to look at the clothes, but instead raised his eyebrows at Luo Chenxi.
“It never crossed my mind that you could design menswear, and they look more creative and spiritual than the womenswear you’ve always been designing. It seems like I’ve been fooled!”
Luo Chenxi knew that if it were not for Young Master Mu, she would surely have been screwed over by Sheng Yu this time.
Of course, she was not so stupid that she would say that out loud.
“Chief Sheng, you shouldn’t have looked down on people in the first place! Menswear? Child’s play. The students of Royal College of Arts are not to be trifled with!”
“Very well, I admit that I was wrong this time.”
Sheng Yu gazed at her deeply and suddenly said, “Judges, if you like these designs, we shall come back for them some other time. As for now, we’ve still got works from other partic.i.p.ants to look at, so let’s grade Xin Chen for now and move on.”
“Oh, right, right, right, we totally forgot about grading!”
The professional designers finally came back to their senses as they reluctantly left the booth.
