From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Although Anna Wintour didn't show it on the surface, the entire studio could tell:

Anna was very satisfied.

Staff familiar with Anna should know that this fashion devil queen had clear likes and dislikes. If she didn't like something, she would relentlessly launch an attack with the most vicious, terrifying, and sharp words, enough to make people collapse.

At this moment, Anna didn't make any critical remarks, which was simply earth-shattering news, enough to shock every staff member present, even more shocking than Anson's appearance itself.

This also indirectly proved that their amazement was correct.

Then.

Anna maintained a poker face and asked, "How did you come up with this combination?"

"Shirt. Aviator jacket."

Anson lowered his head along Anna's line of sight, and realized after a beat:

He had once again inadvertently broken imagination.

For 2023, mix-and-match was no longer a trend but a habit. All kinds of mixed collisions of different styles had completely become a daily occurrence, including men, without any fixed rules.

However, in 2000, 2001, such a choice could be called unconventional.

Aviator jackets were often paired with tennis shirts or T-shirts; moreover, strictly speaking, aviator jackets were not yet common—just as the literal meaning, more were still worn by pilots, and had not yet broken through the industry field to enter ordinary daily life.

Choosing an aviator jacket was already a move ahead of the times; and pairing it with a shirt was even more subversive, completely breaking convention.

Of course, the root of everything lies in: suitability.

Such a strange and contradictory combination appeared natural on Anson, not only showing off his body proportions and highlighting his personal figure advantages; but also slightly changing his temperament and showing different personal colors.

In the end, "fashion is completed by the face".

No wonder!

Even Anna, who was well-informed, was amazed by Anson.

For Anson, this was just a comfortable, natural, and simple choice, but for 2001, it was a trend-setting move.

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "Intuition."

His face was calm, accepting judgment.

Anna was not surprised, fashion taste was originally a talent skill. Perhaps some people can summarize their own style through a lot of reading fashion magazines and a lot of reference to fashion collocations, constantly learning and growing, but in the final analysis, talent is still an irreplaceable leading advantage.

"One thing."

Anna didn't praise, but gave a suggestion.

"The boots can be changed to cap-toe leather shoes."

In Anna's view, Anson's fortitude and chic were restrained in his bones, so the clothing style should also choose a more restrained and low-key style.

Of course, Anson could support tough pairings such as leather, military boots, and knots; but relatively speaking, restraining those rebellions and stubbornness could better highlight Anson's mixed and contradictory unique temperament.

—The shirt on the red carpet of "The Princess Diaries" premiere was like this, Eddie - Slimane did capture Anson's unique texture.

Right now, it's the same.

Military boots, no problem, as Anson said, with helmets and motorcycles, the flying and wanton youth is enough to make everyone look sideways; but if you change to cap-toe leather shoes, the elegance and rebellion outlined on the basis of the preppy style can transform Anson into a superstar.

Anna believes that the pride and elegance that Anson has accumulated are the most charming. Unfortunately, the roles of "Friends" and "The Princess Diaries" have not been able to capture it. I don't know when he will meet such a role, truly let Anson shine.

Anna is such a character—

Love to the extreme, unconditionally protect shortcomings; similarly, hate to the extreme, decisive and leave no room.

If you like it, you will be satisfied no matter how you look at it, and sincerely hope to send the whole world to the other party's eyes and push the other party to the top of the world in one fell swoop.

Now, Anson has officially entered her field of vision.

Anna has a hunch that this adventure challenge can usher in great success.

"Okay. Enter the set."

With an order, the staff surrounded Anson and entered the set next to him—

Wait, who is this?

Click.

Bruce - Douglas didn't even say hello, nor did he give Anson a chance to greet him. He pressed the shutter button for the first time to record the moment.

After a flash of flash, Bruce put down the camera and showed a smile.

"Hey, Anson, long time no see."

The one in front of him is the photographer, Bruce, who took photos of Anson for "GQ" magazine.

Bruce has cooperation with major fashion magazines, but I have to say that the opportunity for "Fashion" is still less, after all, this is the top magazine in the global pyramid, and photographers who want to cooperate with "Fashion" need to queue up, even Bruce, who already has some status in the industry, is no exception.

This time, learning about the theme of "Fashion" magazine, Anna selected several photographers, but Anna's vision and pattern were really too bold, and the object was a newcomer without any modeling experience—the shooting results of "GQ" magazine may be luck, Anson eventually entered the focus of attention as an actor, naturally, Anna's contact with the photographer encountered some difficulties.

In the end, Bruce bravely seized the opportunity to meet the challenge.

Random. Casual. Spontaneous.

They must seize the flowing, jumping, and shining vitality on Anson, otherwise no matter how good the shape is, it cannot be conveyed to the reader.

Looking at Bruce, with his iconic turban again, Anson was slightly stunned, and his smile raised, "Hey, stranger."

A greeting made Bruce press the shutter again, showing a satisfied smile, "How about this, we won't enter the set, you start choosing the second set of outfits now, we will shoot while choosing, how about it?"

All eyes are on Anna.

Anna flicked her fingertips lightly, without objecting.

In a trance, they returned to that early summer eighteen months ago, when Anson first shot "GQ", but this time the level was different.

Busy, from ten o'clock in the morning until nightfall, the studio had long lost the meaning of time, the Paris outside the window was shrouded in night, it was not clear whether it was six o'clock in the evening or ten o'clock in the deep night, but the work was still not over, the consumption of physical and mental energy was unimaginable.

Modeling is a physical job.

Anson didn't believe it before, always thought that models just stood in front of the camera and posed a few poses; but now he finally understands that things are not that simple.

Anson doesn't even remember how many sets of clothes he changed all day today, fifteen sets? Twenty sets? Wait, or twenty-five sets?

At the end of the shooting, I truly felt the taste of backache and leg pain, which was more tiring than filming.

The work is still not over, but the always calm studio has welcomed guests, there is a burst of noise at the door, Anson and Bruce are still shooting, Edgar noticed that Anna personally greeted them.

Edgar was a little curious, who was the visitor who could make Anna greet them personally? Subconsciously, he turned around and looked over, and then he was stunned in place as if struck by lightning:

This????
