Chapter 537: Chapter 537: The Fashion Debut (1)_1

They had heard about the later life of this model from their circles, and it was said that she had ultimately become a lady of the night.

With such a precedent, these models didn’t dare to act out of line at all. Besides, Situ Xin, the designer, was not someone who knew nothing and relied solely on the support of the power behind her. Just a small display of her abilities by Situ Xin was enough to make these models look at her, the newcomer designer, in a new light.

"Allen, Daniel, today we should finalize the makeup and hairstyles. Tomorrow, we’ll rehearse with makeup," Situ Xin said to Daniel and Allen who had been notified to come to the show, while calculating the time in her head. The fashion show starts the day after tomorrow; another dress rehearsal with makeup tomorrow should leave no issues.

During these days when Situ Xin was busy with her own fashion show, she hadn’t had the time to pay attention to the other designers’ shows during the fashion week. Situ Xin had little interest in the fashion shows of other designers. However, in stark contrast to Situ Xin’s indifference, Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin were extremely busy these past few days, doing their best to inquire about the status of the earlier fashion shows. They wanted to see them in person, but they were too busy to even touch the ground, let alone have the spare time to watch other people’s shows.

The reason why Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin inquired about the status of other designers’ shows was to gather intelligence on their competition. As the old saying goes, ’know thyself, know thy enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles.’ But in the end, it was also because the two of them lacked confidence. Indeed, though Lu Juan had worked in the garment industry for so many years and even her exclusive stores had made their way out of the country, this was her first real foray into the fashion circle. Thus, the nearer it got to Situ Xin’s fashion show, the more nervous the two became.

Indeed, Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin, adopting the attitude of ’knowing the enemy and yourself,’ had all the detailed information about the fashion shows from the past few days compiled for them.

"Okay, let’s settle the makeup and hairstyles today," Allen and Daniel agreed.

"Xin, round up the models now; let’s get started," Allen said, checking his watch.

"Well, Baby, do you want to take a look at the previous fashion shows, to get a feel for them?" Lu Juan, who had been sitting next to Situ Xin without finding an opportunity to speak, finally took this chance to interject.

After Lu Juan finished speaking, Yu Shiyin quickly took out the documents she had in her hands and handed them to Situ Xin. "Xiao Xin, here, these are the documents from the previous fashion shows. Take a look and see if there is anything useful."

"Eh," Situ Xin was momentarily stunned when she saw the documents Yu Shiyin handed to her, choosing not to take them. Instead, she looked towards her aunt. "Aunt, I don’t need these documents."

"Why?" Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin asked in unison.

"Baby, at least take a look at what hairstyles and makeup are in fashion now," Lu Juan said, not giving up.

"Aunt, what I need for my fashion show is not what’s currently in fashion. If I really needed that, I wouldn’t need to rely on other people’s shows; I could have just consulted Allen and Daniel directly," Situ Xin said. Daniel and Allen, hearing Situ Xin’s words, nodded in agreement. They were very knowledgeable about BL and the latest trends. "What I need is something that suits my fashion show. The stuff out there is simply not suitable for my fashion show. Moreover, I don’t need to know what’s trendy with others; I want to create my own trend."

"But..." Lu Juan was still hesitant, wanting to say something.

Situ Xin knew what Lu Juan was worried about and reassured her, "Aunt, you don’t need to say anything. Just sit there and watch us—me, Daniel, and Allen—make up the models. If you don’t like it in the end, we can change it, okay?"

Lu Juan knew that Situ Xin was very determined and that she would stick to her guns once she had made up her mind. Moreover, she also knew in her heart that Situ Xin was the fashion show designer, and only the designer herself knew what she really needed. "Okay. Go ahead with your plan."

The notified models arrived at the backstage of the show.

"Wow, Xin, the effects of those skincare products are truly miraculous," Daniel exclaimed as he saw the models appear backstage. He had been too busy to properly explore the cosmetics Situ Xin had given him, and thus was unaware of the effectiveness of Situ Xin’s skincare and cosmetic products.

And now, as he saw the models, whose bare faces had been dreadful to look at before, he couldn’t say their skin was extremely good now, but at least the pits and bumps that had been there before were gone. And the remaining minor flaws could be covered with just a thin layer of powder.

"It’s quite miraculous; I’ll use it when I get back," Allen said, quite surprised to see the change in the model’s skin. The effect of Situ Xin’s skincare products was something that even major brands could not achieve.

"That’s right, our ’Xin’ produces nothing but quality," Lu Juan said proudly, seeing the reactions of Daniel and Allen.

Situ Xin, however, felt indifferent as she already knew the effects of the skincare products. "Now that the models’ skin has improved, let’s get started quickly. Don’t waste time. Come here, you two," she said, gesturing to the two nearest models to sit down first.

After the two models sat down, Situ Xin briefly reflected on the garments they were wearing and then said to Daniel and Allen, "I want the makeup to be light and elegant, but it should highlight the eyes. And the hairstyles shouldn’t be too complicated..." Situ Xin detailed her requirements to Daniel and Allen one by one.

Daniel and Allen listened carefully to Situ Xin’s ideas and then combined them with their own opinions to get started on the work.

"Xin, how is it?" Daniel was very satisfied with his completed work, but secretly thought that if the model were replaced by Situ Xin, he would be even more pleased with the effect.

"Daniel, the eyeliner here should go towards..." Situ Xin, having seen Daniel’s makeup that basically met her requirements, still was not completely satisfied with some of the finer details. She spoke to Daniel while picking up an eyeliner pen and began making adjustments herself.
