Episode 100 Friends

Allison Pelly.

A celebrity known as the greatest heiress of the 21st century.

A capable woman who inherited a family business worth trillions of won and successfully grew it into something worth tens of trillions of won.

She woke up early in the morning at her mansion and got ready for work.

“Hmm… … . I have time.”

It didn’t seem like I was in a particular rush, but I had about 15 minutes left.

At this point, they could have left right away, but Ellison took his seat for now.

“… … I’m going crazy. It keeps coming to me.”

I took out my phone and played the video.

Millie’s recent performance in Central Park.

Footage taken by a professional cameraman in the VIP section streamed from her phone.

“under……!”

Allison Pelley burst out laughing in disbelief.

“Is it Yongwon or something? It was a real thing.”

When he first told me that he would be in charge of all of Mille’s stage costumes, I was so frustrated.

Our kind, innocent Millie. So naive… … . You don’t know anything… … .

I really thought so.

She agreed that Lee Yong-won was a talented designer and stylist, but she felt that creating costumes for such a big stage was something entirely different.

At that time, I was so angry that I couldn’t sleep at night.

What does this performance mean to Millif?

Because some punk was going to ruin it all!

Of course, Millie wouldn’t ruin the show just because her costume was a bit shabby.

Even if you come out wearing tracksuits, if you’re Millip, you can excite 300,000 people or 1 million people.

Because that was his friend, Millif Erethicia!

however.

But what is this?

“It’s shining… … . Millip.”

As he watched Millie change into Lee Yong-won’s stage costumes one by one, Allison’s eyes began to blur.

Look at those elegant and bold clothes. I haven’t seen anything like that in any of the haute couture shows I’ve seen in years.

This wasn’t just her subjective evaluation.

In fact, this stage costume became a huge topic of conversation and set American society ablaze.

It must be true, as the analysis of public opinion trends reported to the secretary every day was presented in numbers.

Although the American public may not know the name Lee Yong-won, if you say, “Hey, that guy. He designed the stage costumes for Millie,” the public will be excited and say, “Wow! He designed this?”

As the thought crossed his mind, Allison’s eyes sharpened.

“This… … smells like money?”

How can we not seize this opportunity?

She was watching the video of Millie’s performance that was playing continuously, then she picked up her phone and called her secretary.

– Yes, boss.

“Cancel all of today’s schedule and postpone it to another day.”

– Are you saying all of them…?

“Don’t make me say it twice. Just cancel everything and since I’m not coming to work today, Laura should just leave work too.”

Boom.

Allison said what he had to say and hung up.

And then, after staring at the screen again, he couldn’t stand it anymore and picked up the phone again.

– Ah, why. Since morning… … .

Soon, the voice of Millif, still half-asleep, was heard.

Singer Millie doesn’t like to talk much in the morning when her throat is still sore.

Allison, who was well aware of that fact, said what he wanted to say and hung up the phone again.

“I’ll go now. Do you have time?”

– Huh? Well, there is, but… … .

Boom.

Millif put her phone in her Hermes bag and immediately got up and left the mansion.

* * *

Millif, who had been greeting Allison with obvious annoyance, suddenly showed a bright color.

“Aha. So, Yongwon came to me to ask for my phone number?”

“Okay. If you’re going to do it, it would be better if you just called here and connected me directly.”

“Oh my? Why me? I’ve already suggested several times that you collaborate with Yongwon. Weren’t you the one who threw away all those opportunities?”

Allison frowned.

“Because things are different now than they were back then.”

“Yeah. What did you say back then? Did you say that the level didn’t match? What, you said that about 100 geniuses of that level come out every year?”

“That was right back then! Now that I have an angle to collaborate with ‘Philia’, I’m doing this.”

There was a hint of pride in her voice when she said ‘Philia’.

Filia, a luxury fashion brand with low public awareness but explosive popularity among the wealthy.

She took immense pride in her business.

But Millipede was indifferent.

“That’s what I’m saying. Yongwon is making my stage costumes and it’s becoming popular, so he wants to ride on that popularity. Your brand is recognized by those who know about it, but most people don’t.”

“Why don’t you mention that collaborating with our brand will also elevate the status of ?”

“Well? Do you think Yongwon needs that status?”

Allison frowned and glared at Millif.

“But. You. Are you always taking that designer’s side? You just find me annoying.”

“Tina?”

“A lot.”

Millief is smiling brightly, and Allison is glaring at her and then sighing.

Eventually she gave up and held out her hand.

“At least give me designer Lee Yong-won’s contact information. I’ll just contact him since he’s dirty.”

“Yes. It’s your fault, so please take good care of it. Yongwon is a good kid, so if you beg him earnestly, he’ll listen.”

“Hey! Seriously!”

Allison screamed.

Who am I!

I’m Allison Pelley!

What kind of brand is Philia?

A powerhouse in the high-end luxury industry!

Why should I be treated like this?

But the more Allison trembled, the more Millie felt happy.

‘Ah. This day has finally come. What is Yongwon doing now?’

After successfully finishing the performance, Millie was struggling with a sense of helplessness for a while… … .

My heart started pounding again.

* * *

“Oh, when did the sun rise?”

I was sitting at my desk, looking out the brightly lit window, then stretching.

The feeling of the heat that had been building up in the tension being released in a flash.

I feel really good.

My body was tired, but my mind felt refreshed.

On the large workbench were scattered all kinds of sketches, fabrics, and half-finished samples.

The scene of a fierce battle to prepare for the FW season’s new products.

Time was extremely tight when it came to completing the design and getting it produced.

It had to have a quality and design that befitted a luxury brand, rather than the original design, so it was even more so.

It wasn’t just me who was busy right now.

Dongwook was also running around like crazy to find a capable sewing factory and sign a contract.

Because we couldn’t use a sewing factory that made clothes that were considered luxury goods and sewed them up like a t-shirt that cost a few thousand won.

I had to find a place that could do more difficult processes thoroughly and without mistakes.

And the unit price had to be adjusted as well.

Well, anyway, that’s Dongwook’s business. All I had to do was come up with the design.

Even just that alone would leave me with infinitely less time, but the time I lacked could be covered by my ideal type viewing skills and concentration.

I dropped my gaze and looked at the design sketch I had just finished.

It looks like an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt, but it is a luxury item with many details added.

“It seems to be just right. Luxurious linen material. It’s even more perfect because the threads are sewn with the same linen thread. It looks familiar, but at first glance, it has a different, rich silhouette. The neckline was calculated to flow beautifully along the shoulder line… … . I adjusted it according to the measurements… … .”

It looks similar to clothes you usually wear, but when you actually wear it, it’s something different.

That was exactly the concept I was pursuing this time.

Imagine someone who doesn’t know much about fashion coming to our store because they want to look stylish.

He or she chooses clothes that are similar to the style he or she usually wears.

That’s what it’s like to be a beginner. It’s hard to even imagine a difficult challenge.

The clothes that are chosen that way are short-sleeved T-shirts, collared T-shirts, shirts, sleeveless dresses, one-piece dresses, and things like that.

The colors are also chosen based on the colors you usually wear.

White one, black one.

But voila~

After putting it all on, what do you think? It’s pretty, isn’t it?

It makes you feel that way.

The silhouette is also different,

The white, black, and blue colors are different from what I usually see.

My eyes are secretly drawn to textures and small details.

Even the fit is different,

This is exactly what I was thinking of as my goal.

A luxury item that stands out no matter how you wear it.

It seemed like if I just kept working hard for a few more days, I would end up with a great collection.

But on the other hand, I was also worried.

“Would you like me to wear it a lot…?”

No matter how good the clothes are, they are meaningless if you don’t wear them.

The more we wear it and the more word of mouth spreads, the shorter our journey towards our dreams will be.

But the threshold for ‘luxury goods’ is high.

The so-called ‘branded’ clothes are characterized by prices starting at tens of thousands of won for a single T-shirt, and sometimes going up to 100,000 or 200,000 won.

The reason customers are willing to open their wallets for such expensive clothes is because there is a ‘name value’ to it.

Just by looking at the logo, people know, ‘Oh, where is it? It’s a nice piece of clothing.’ So they’re willing to pay that price.

But what about Cop and Thief?

Although its recognition has increased considerably, there are still many people who do not know about it.

Even that recognition is not the recognition built up as a luxury brand.

In short, if someone sees a piece of clothing with our logo on it, there’s a very high chance they’ll think, “Cop and Tief? What the heck? That guy I’ve never heard of.”

Who would willingly pay a lot of money for clothes like that?

It is difficult to convince people who are not enthusiasts who meticulously examine the quality and aesthetics of clothes with their own eyes.

I sighed.

“In the end… … . Our brand is high-end. We sell really good clothes~ We need an opportunity to make people aware of it… … .”

One worry leads to another.

But I soon shook my head and shook off the distracting thoughts.

“Ah, I don’t know. I’ll do design or something. Dongwook hyung will take care of marketing and things like that.”

Now that I have the sketch, I will try making a sample. I reached for the linen fabric I had prepared in advance.

Booooooo-

“… … Millip?”

At the welcome call, I put down the cloth I had picked up and opened my phone.

“Open. Millie. What’s going on?”

– Yongwon. Yongwon. Can you hear me?”

“Yeah. I’m listening.”

– Listen carefully. You’re about to get a call from a girl named Allison Pelley.

“huh?”

As I was typing, the voice of Michelle, Milliff’s secretary and interpreter, suddenly cut in.

– He said he would receive a call from Allison Pelley, heiress to the Pelley family.

“yes?”

‘That’ Allison Pelley?

She is the heiress of the century?

The luxury brand Philia was also his. Maybe?

Why such a great person all of a sudden?

– Yeah! Allison Pelley. You just listen to me. He’ll call you and offer you something. Ignore him. Be as expensive as you can. Act like you don’t care, and then rip him off as much as you can!

what……?

So now you’re telling me to treat American conglomerates expensively?

Is it okay for someone like me to do that?

– He’s the one who’s in a hurry right now. You don’t have to worry about anything. That’s just his personality. If he gets hooked on something, he has to do it no matter what, no matter how much it costs him. So call for the most expensive one! Got it? Hang up?

And then the phone just suddenly hung up.

What does this mean… … .

No, Alison Pelley is going to offer me something?

Then… … . Shouldn’t I be saying “thank you” and accepting it? How big is the weight class difference between us and them?

My mind was spinning, and then I actually got a phone call. It was from an unknown number.

“hello?”

– Hello? Mr. Lee?

“Yes, yes. Yes.”

– This is Allison Pelley.

Really? Is it really Allison Peliya?

After she said hello, a moment later the interpreter’s voice was heard.

– Sorry for calling you so suddenly. I would like to propose a collaboration between the fashion brand Philia and your .

My ears perked up.

what?

Collaboration?

If it’s the luxury brand Philia, it’s a top-class brand known to those in the know.

If we could collaborate with them, we could instantly raise the reputation of .

It’s possible to position a brand that is somewhat famous but has not yet been verified or authoritative as a trendy brand that collaborates with luxury brands that are well-known in the United States.

It was an offer that I had to accept unconditionally. I dare not pretend to be expensive here.

“Ah. I see. Then please organize the relevant information and send me the proposal. I’m a bit busy right now.”

– yes?

“If you send me a proposal, I will contact you. That’s all for now.”

Stop.

I hung up the phone.

“… … .”

My heart was pounding like crazy.

Me. Me… … hung up the conglomerate’s phone first!!!

but,

I believe.

There’s no way Millie would do anything to harm me.

She told me to go out for as much money as possible, so I just did as she said.

As soon as I thought about it, my mind became calm.

Yeah, that’s okay.

That’s what Millif told me to do, huh?

“Let’s finish the design.”

I forgot everything that had just happened and started cutting the fabric with a rustling sound.

There is no need to draw a rough sketch with a hot pen. The ‘design’ ability of the ideal type view tells you in real time where and how to cut.

Crunch crunch crunch-

The fabric that was just a large piece of cloth began to take the shape of clothes little by little.
