Chapter 301 I am Louis
The opening show of Paris Fashion Week lasted for nearly two hours.
During those two hours, Li Mengli simply didn't know where to look.
All sorts of haute couture garments that she usually only saw in magazines and videos were now walking right in front of her.
The cuts and color combinations of the clothes, as well as the unique aura of the models, all broadened Li Mengli's horizons.
When the show ended and all the lights came on...
Li Mengli was still somewhat unsatisfied.
She turned to look at Lu Wenzhou and said excitedly:
"They're absolutely gorgeous! Especially that series from earlier, the black, white, and gray combination was simply stunning."
Seeing her so happy, Lu Wenzhou smiled and nodded.
"That's really good. But the real fun is yet to come."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and gestured for Li Mengli to proceed.
"Come on, I'll take you backstage. There's a small networking event over there, with lots of designers and industry professionals there."
When Li Mengli heard that she could go backstage, her eyes lit up even more.
She quickly stood up and followed Lu Wenzhou towards the backstage area.
The backstage area was indeed more lively than the outside.
The models are busy changing clothes and removing their makeup.
The designers gathered in small groups, holding champagne glasses, and shared their thoughts on today's show.
After Lu Wenzhou led Li Mengli inside, several people immediately came to greet them.
"Hi, Lu!"
A foreign man with a big beard walked over and gave Lu Wenzhou a very warm hug.
Lu Wenzhou greeted him with a smile, then turned around and introduced Li Mengli to him in fluent English.
"This is Ms. Li Mengli, who is very interested in fashion design."
The bearded man looked at Li Mengli and very gentlemanly kissed the back of her hand.
"Hello, beautiful Miss Li. I'm Louis, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Lu Wenzhou translated for Li Mengli from the side.
Upon hearing the name, Li Mengli immediately realized who it was.
She exclaimed inwardly, "My God, he's the chief designer of that amazing show!"
She quickly greeted the other person, feeling flattered.
In the time that followed, Lu Wenzhou took Li Mengli backstage and introduced her to many people.
It boasts a famous fashion magazine editor, top stylists, and several internationally renowned independent designers.
Li Mengli was a little nervous at first.
After all, these people are usually high-ranking and important figures.
However, she soon discovered that these people were actually very easy to get along with.
They showed great interest, especially after hearing Li Mengli's unique insights into fashion.
"Ms. Li, your idea about color clashes is really novel."
A French female designer, holding a wine glass, looked at Li Mengli and said very seriously:
"Young people these days like to pursue so-called 'minimalism,' but I think fashion should be diverse. Your ideas have given me a lot of inspiration."
Li Mengli blushed slightly upon hearing the top designer's praise.
She said somewhat shyly:
"I was just saying it casually. I like to think about these things on my own, so please excuse me."
The female designer smiled and shook her head:
"No, you feel very good. That's talent."
The two of them got along very well.
We started by discussing the design concepts behind the clothing and then moved on to the fashion trends for the next few years.
Li Mengli found herself completely at home in this fashionable environment.
She used to study hotel management, a service industry field, at school.
But what she truly loved in her heart was always these things related to beauty.
Now, she finally has the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with these top people.
This feeling is absolutely amazing.
Li Mengli stayed at this small exchange meeting for almost two hours.
She not only met many people, but also exchanged contact information with them.
Several designers even invited her to visit their studios and learn from them if she had the chance in the future.
Li Mengli readily agreed, of course.
By the time the exchange meeting ended, it was almost dark outside.
Lu Wenzhou led Li Mengli out of the show venue.
The air outside was a little cool, but Li Mengli's heart was warm.
She turned her head, looked at Lu Wenzhou walking beside her, and said very sincerely:
"Lu Wenzhou, thank you so much for today."
"If you hadn't brought me here, I might never have had the chance to meet so many fashion moguls in my life."
"Moreover, I also learned a lot of useful things."
Lu Wenzhou looked at her and smiled slightly:
"You're welcome. I hope you have fun and learn something."
He paused for a moment and glanced at his watch.
Then he looked at Li Mengli and asked:
"It's getting late. How about what you'd like for dinner?"
"You've had a fantastic day! To celebrate, how about I treat you to a big meal?"
Li Mengli was in a really good mood today.
Without even thinking, she nodded in agreement:
"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"But since we're in Paris, we definitely have to go and have the most authentic French cuisine!"
Lu Wenzhou smiled:
"No problem. I know a really good Michelin three-star restaurant. The food there is very authentic, and the ambiance is great."
"Let's go, my car is already waiting over there."
The two walked together to the roadside and got into the black Rolls-Royce that had been waiting there.
After starting the car, it drove smoothly towards the center of Paris.
