From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Karl Lagerfeld's ability to become a top figure in the fashion world is by no means undeserved. Each year, he designs eight collections for Chanel, five for Fendi, and then completes the regular updates for his personal brand. This ability is definitely not something an ordinary person possesses.

Moreover, it's not just about quantity; the quality is also exceptional.

In 1965, Fendi, which was then just a local Italian brand, hired Karl as its brand designer. The first thing he did upon taking office was to change Fendi's logo. The famous double F logo is his design.

In 1983, Chanel was in a slump, on the verge of being淘汰 by the times. Its unchanging designs had evolved from classic to outdated. However, in a situation where no one was optimistic, Karl's takeover revitalized the brand and made it one of the most profitable fashion brands globally.

Karl inherited Chanel's consistent elegance, improved the proportions, retained loyal customers, and appropriately injected sports and rock elements to attract the younger generation. He also elevated Chanel's haute couture to a new level, making the brand a representative of modern elegance.

A few words are simply not enough to describe the brilliance Karl has written in the past four decades. Undoubtedly, he has brought essential changes to the entire fashion market and continues to maintain his vigorous creative energy.

Although Edgar couldn't see anything special, Eddie was an expert. At a glance, he noticed that the clothes Karl prepared for Anson were indeed unique, keenly capturing Anson's restrained and settled temperament, showing a completely different look and texture from the Dior fashion show.

It seems that Karl really appreciates Anson and sees his potential.

"Morning, how did you rest last night?"

Edgar called out, interrupting Eddie's thoughts. He turned around and saw Anson with a bird's nest on his head, standing at the bedroom door, unable to open his eyes.

At this moment, one can truly capture the traces of Anson's eighteen-year-old youth.

Anson could barely open his eyes.

He only slept for three or four hours. Now, his whole body is still in a top-heavy state. Moreover, because of excessive fatigue, he couldn't sleep peacefully. He woke up suddenly at inexplicable times. He now feels like he might float away with the wind at any moment.

"God, I sincerely thought that coming to Paris this time was just a vacation. As expected, I'm still too young and naive. What time is it now?"

"Fashion" magazine, "Catch Me If You Can", Dior, parties and social events, Chanel.

It's only been a few days, but things are too packed.

Edgar is the same. He only slept for forty minutes, or rather, he just dozed off for a while. In addition to the affairs in Paris, he needs to understand the situation of "Catch Me If You Can" in detail, find an accurate position to secure a suitable salary for Anson, and maximize the industry effect of Steven and Tom. He is even busier than Anson.

However, Edgar is very excited. Fatigue is one thing, but the mental state is another.

Edgar looked at Anson, "It's eight o'clock. You can rest for another hour, then get up for makeup and preparation."

One hour.

Anson exhaled lightly, "Forget it, I'll get up and prepare now. I need a massage. My shoulders and back are very stiff."

After speaking, Anson silently turned around, still with his eyes closed, groping through the room like a blind man, heading to the bathroom for a hot bath—

Hopefully, it can relieve the fatigue.

Edgar turned to look at the invisible Eddie throughout the process, revealing an apologetic smile.

Eddie didn't care at all. This kind of Anson seemed particularly real.

It wasn't until Anson finished washing up and taking a bath and reappeared in the hall that he noticed Eddie's presence, "When did you come over?"

Eddie nodded lightly, "Just a while ago."

His gaze moved back and forth between the Chanel suit and Anson twice, and then Eddie cut to the chase, "Are you going to the show like this?"

Anson was puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Eddie wasn't surprised. Anson indeed lacked some understanding of the fashion circle, "That day at Dior, you were a model, and the protagonist was the designer's clothes; but today, you are a guest, and the protagonist is the image you present."

"Moreover, there should be many people paying attention to you today."

Eddie said it lightly, but seeing the newspaper on the hotel table with Anson's photo on the front page, he couldn't help but soften his tone and added another sentence.

"A lot."

"Wearing Karl's clothes properly and appearing on stage is no problem. You can still shine, but it may be slightly disappointing."

Expectations are like this.

It's like watching a movie. If you expect a six-point work before entering the cinema, and you see a seven-point work in the end, you will naturally be pleasantly surprised; but if you expect a nine-point movie and you see an eight-and-a-half-point work, even if you know the movie is very good, you will inevitably be disappointed.

Now, it's the same. Everyone expects Anson to amaze them again. From the Dior fashion show to the blessing of Karl and Anna, two major mountains in the industry, expectations have exploded.

Now, what people expect may not be a simple eight points, or even ten points, but even higher standards that break expectations again.

Honestly, Eddie is not sure, but he can't help but be curious—

He admits that he is also expecting it.

Along with it, Edgar is also a little nervous.

Perhaps, the only person in the room who is completely calm is the person involved.

Anson grinned and chuckled, "Hey, guys, the Paris fashion circle didn't even know my name three days ago. What are you expecting?"

Edgar glanced at the newspaper silently.

"Accurately speaking, the attention we're getting now is far beyond expectations. Captain, we've already gotten the opportunity to perform in 'Catch Me If You Can', haven't we? So, all the following gains are extra rewards."

"Normal heart, keep a normal heart."

Anson has a magnanimity that doesn't match his age and a rare clarity when he is under the spotlight of the celebrity field, which makes Edgar and Eddie thoughtful.

In comparison, Anson seemed particularly relaxed.

Anson's gaze also looked at the Chanel suit, a very typical Chanel style.

"Eddie, if you want to modify it, what are your thoughts?"

Eddie shook his head, "No."

He denied it simply and neatly. Noticing Anson's surprised gaze, Eddie seemed particularly calm, "No one dares to easily change Karl's design, including Anna. After all, that's Karl Lagerfeld."

Edgar couldn't help but say, "Mr. Slimane! Then you just now..."

Still instigating Anson?

Eddie didn't panic or feel guilty, "I just suggested a possibility. I guess everyone is now expecting Anson's personal taste, including Karl and Anna, because that's how the whole story started."

"GQ", the starting point of everything, was because Anson broke the routine; and the Dior fashion show two days ago echoed this model again.

So, when people discuss men's fashion changes and Anson, they already have a preconceived impression. Today is the same.

So, what is Anson going to do?
