Fashion Genius Collects Stars - Chapter 97



Only Noblemtl

Episode 97 Wavelength

These days, has been a little quiet.

The SS season clothes were all sold out long ago, and although we did produce some more after that, they didn’t sell as explosively as they did at first, so things were relatively easy.

It’s like the feeling of playing a rhythm game on Hell difficulty and then lowering it to Medium difficulty so that you can play it while falling asleep.

But it was also ambiguous whether to do other things.

Because Lee Yong-won, the key figure in , has been absent for several months.

Therefore, the only thing that CEO Shin Dong-wook could do was to prepare the work in advance.

I go to Dongdaemun Market from time to time to find useful fabrics and collect samples.

When a customer who is overseas sends information that he or she has found a fabric he or she likes, we find out how to import it.

And I’m already making plans to attend Seoul Fashion Week next year.

Since I received an offer to open a store in Mirimae Department Store, I also drew up a product plan and store interior plan for it.

If you list them all, they were not easy tasks, but Shin Dong-wook felt relaxed to this extent, perhaps because he was so busy with work at the beginning of the SS season.

Baek Dong-soo, who was in charge of sales at Star Consulting at the time, was also helping Shin Dong-wook with his work for the time being, so he had even more free time.

At least, enough to keep up with the latest issues during work hours.

The two of them worked in the office, occasionally doing something else, and then occasionally chatting about any issues that came to mind.

Today was another peaceful afternoon.

“uh?”

Baek Dong-soo straightened up with a start.

And 3 seconds later.

“uh?!”

President Shin Dong-wook also writhed and twisted his body.

Soon the two shouted at the same time.

“You hit the jackpot?!”

The two of them jumped up and gathered in the middle of the office.

At the same time, they showed each other their cell phones.

There was a news article on CEO Shin Dong-wook’s phone, and a YouTube video on Baek Dong-soo’s phone.

The topic was the same.

Millif Erethicia.

The huge syndrome she brought about.

In fact, Millip’s legendary stage was something that was not yet well experienced in Korea.

However, a super hurricane was hitting the United States, and because the country was so hot, the issue was being imported into Korea as well.

Just like this.

Newspaper articles largely covered Milif Eretishia’s account and the American response.

There have been many cases where audiences exceeding 1 million have gathered for free concerts or performances with multiple singers, such as festivals, but it is unprecedented in history for a paid concert and a solo concert to have 300,000 people, not even 100,000.

Most of it focused on the record and briefly introduced the local reaction in the United States.

And a few photos of Millif Eretishia’s performances bought by foreign media.

But what caught people’s attention the most were not the record itself, but a few photos.

Her stage costume photos were circulated through various communities and became quite a hot topic.

– What is the Milleef stage costume?

↳ You can pull off that kind of outfit too

– Hahahahahaha, that’s kind of funny. It looks like he’s wearing some kind of blanket over his head.

↳ No… … . It’s cool… … .

– I don’t know about anything else, but that black dress is crazy. Wow, it’s so surreal. It looks like a person in pieces.

– You guys! You have to see this in video! The pictures are great, but the video is just crazy!

↳ Is there a video? Where did you see it?

↳ If you search in English, you’ll find a lot of videos taken by fans on site!

– Sometimes when I watch fashion shows, I’m like, ‘Wow, who wears clothes like that?’… … . It turns out that Millie Unnie is wearing those… … . She’s so pretty.

People’s reactions were generally favorable.

Even before that, there were often cases where the stage costumes of foreign singers became a topic of conversation.

Or wear a dress made of red meat,

A man wearing a flesh-toned outfit in a bondage-style,

Like wearing clothes made of condom material with shoulder pads larger than your head.

Such stage costumes often evoked a sense of novelty, but also a sense of disgust or strangeness.

But Millif’s costume was different.

A dress made of flowing fabric,

A chimera-like outfit with giant wings made by connecting numerous pieces of clothing,

A spiderweb-like outfit that barely covers important parts with colorful threads and connects to various parts of the stage,

Those clothes, which had become part of the stage production, were certainly strange and odd, but… … they strangely suited Millie and I perfectly, and they were beautiful.

People responded, “This is amazing. This is cool. This is like performance art.”

But some of them went beyond such a flat reaction and expressed very, very intense emotions.

“Brother! Brother! Please watch this video.”

Just like the characters in the YouTube video that Baek Dong-soo shows!

– Wow! Beautiful! Isn’t it really awesome?

– Oh my… … . Oh my my? Wow… … . Designer Lee Yong-won. Is he really capable of doing this much?

– Huh. Look at this guy? Do you see the colors? And the shapes are bold. Huh? Wow. Is he crazy?

They were fashion YouTubers.

But there are many different types of fashion YouTubers.

At one end of the spectrum are the elite, who have graduated from relevant universities, worked for global companies, and are invited to numerous fashion weeks.

And at the other end of the spectrum are the pragmatists, who may not have such a grand career, but who work in related industries and spread their fashion philosophy more closely to everyday life.

If we compare, would the former be a pure artist and the latter an illustrator?

Among them, the people in the video that Baek Dong-soo is showing now are those who belong to the ‘elite’ group.

And they were the ones who, more than anyone else, expressed doubts about the stage costumes that Lee Yong-won was in charge of this time.

In their perception, Lee Yong-won was a person who designed everyday clothes, and in their common sense, stage costumes that cost over 100 million won a piece were closer to a work of art than everyday clothes.

Aside from recognizing Lee Yong-won’s skills in designing ready-to-wear, there were those who believed that stage costumes required a different talent and experience.

That’s why,

The surprise they were showing now was even more honest and intense.

– I apologize. The video I uploaded before? It was wrong. I didn’t recognize the person with the ability.

– I’m really surprised, right? Wow! Wow! This is really wow! These clothes could be taken to haute couture right now? No. They’re more than that? These clothes extend into the realm of stage production.

– Hehehehe. Hehehe. Oh me. I can’t stop laughing. Hehehe. No. Lee Yong-won? What do you do? Hehehehe. Huh? Did you do a good job? Can’t you tell just by looking at it? This isn’t someone I can judge?

A video where American fans cut out videos and show their reactions.

That was what a reaction was.

Even if someone who doesn’t know much about it sees it and says, “Hmm. Is that really it?”, when an authoritative expert starts praising it while showing the raw excitement, you immediately realize, “Oh! So that’s what it was!”

People are starting to realize it more and more.

That Lee Yong-won did something great.

The reaction videos of the ‘elites’ were selected by the algorithm and quickly gained views, and a bomb began to grow in the hearts of those who watched them.

It’s the bomb called patriotism!

Soon after, Rekka YouTubers began to spread the overseas reactions.

What, the American fashion industry is turning upside down, the world is paying attention to Korea, and so on.

Even famous economics, current affairs and knowledge YouTubers reported the news.

What is the status of Milliph Erethicia in the United States?

She introduced reviews of this performance along with actual newspaper articles, explaining in a very realistic and fun way how much economic impact is generated by each move she makes, how much influence each word of hers has, and how many records she has broken in the history of pop music so far.

– No. It’s true. It’s true. It says so? A star, no. A god. You may not know this, but this is the status of millennials in the United States right now, right?

– That person said that and is now getting a lot of hate. No. I understand how you feel. I mean, people who got really excited after watching Millief’s concert are partying late into the night and playing Millief’s songs, so it’s hard, right? I get that. But no matter what, it’s a bit much for an American congressman to use the term “Milleef ban” just because of one person’s name…

As even such a famous YouTuber came forward to explain the repercussions of Millie’s recent performance, people started talking about this topic even more.

Because originally, people tend to like topics that they think they know and understand.

President Shin Dong-wook and Baek Dong-soo spent a long time in the office looking for related issues and looking at them together.

Then, without saying who would go first, we made eye contact at the same time.

“brother.”

“Dong-su.”

The two nodded together.

“I will work harder.”

“Let’s row until we die!”

hasn’t been directly mentioned yet, but I didn’t know what would happen in the future.

no.

Surely, this will be an opportunity to target overseas markets beyond Korea!

The two made a firm pledge to overcome any overtime work together with pounding hearts.

composition.

A conglomerate that shines at the top of the Korean business world.

Today was the day when all the members of the composition family gathered together.

The eldest son, Lim Ji-yong, who is the chairman of the conglomerate, the second son, Lim Si-won, who inherited the distribution and department store business, the youngest daughter, Lim Hyeon-ah, who inherited the entertainment business, and their children sat together in one place.

The atmosphere was formal yet friendly.

It was all thanks to former Chairman Lim Young-won.

He was a man who placed importance on family ties, and before he passed away, he not only made sure to choose a successor, but he also gave each of his children a separate business that would be the envy of others.

We also have a well-established system in place to enable them to cooperate with each other from time to time, and we teach them this from a young age.

Thanks to that, the three siblings still got along well.

So their children’s generation also had fun together, playing pranks on each other like cousins.

However, the second temporary worker suddenly frowned when he noticed that his daughter was looking at her cell phone.

No matter what, it’s like that. We’re having a family gathering where all the adults are present, and you’re looking at your phone the whole time.

Is that kid, who is not a reckless kid but the manager of the Myeongdong Mirinae Department Store?

He hid his discomfort and held back his anger for a moment before calmly calling his daughter.

“Hoya.”

But the daughter seemed so absorbed in something that she didn’t even hear her father’s call.

“Hoya!”

My daughter didn’t answer even after calling her twice.

Even my good-natured father felt a little upset this time and tried to raise his voice.

however,

“Crazy! Crazy! This is awesome!”

Before he could even call, his daughter, Im Ho-ah, jumped up from her seat and cheered.

“Hoaya… … ?”

If you’re too surprised, you can’t even get angry.

When Mr. Im Si-won stupidly called his daughter, Im Ho-ah suddenly held out her phone in front of her father.

“Dad! Dad! What did I say! I said is different! There’s nothing to consider! Why don’t you just make a plan to open in the second half of this year?!”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden… .”

Lim Si-won, who is in charge of Mirinae Department Store, looked at the phone screen his daughter handed him in bewilderment.

It said this:

Lim Si-won looks up at Im Ho-ah in surprise.

A triumphant smile slowly but deeply formed on Im Ho-ah’s lips.
