Chapter 645: A Bestseller Appears
Chapter 645: A Bestseller Appears
Jiang Xia arrived backstage, where the models had already changed into their outfits and applied their makeup.
Jiang Xia quickly changed into a formal dress herself and touched up her makeup, which she had already done at her residence.
There were still ten minutes before the show, so Jiang Xia personally checked the models' outfits and the clothes and accessories they would change into afterward, ensuring everything was in order. Satisfied, she stepped out to take a look.
All the executives had arrived, and the runway was flanked by foreign buyers, who were generally very punctual.
More than a hundred invitations had been sent out.
Apparel and textiles have always been a key export of Huaguo.
It seemed everyone had arrived.
Jiang Xia glanced at the time; there was one minute left.
She returned backstage and said to everyone, "One minute to go, everyone! Get ready!"
Everyone gave her an "OK" sign.
A moment later, Jiang Xia began the countdown: "Ten, nine, eight... one!"
The lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only the runway illuminated, casting a bright glow over the entire stage.
The lighting accentuated the texture of the garments, making them appear even more clear, delicate, and luxurious.
Jiang Xia stepped out first.
"Respected guests, welcome to the 50th...",
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Jiang Xia and the dress she was wearing!
Those who had been lounging casually straightened up in their seats.
Jiang Xia wore a black evening gown with a halter neckline and a large white bow on the left side. Simple yet sophisticated, it perfectly accentuated her figure.
The classic black and white combination made the black dress appear lively and dynamic.
She also wore a pair of black long gloves, which added a touch of elegance and a mysterious, noble aura to her every movement.
Beautiful!
Elegant!
The buyers looked at their order catalogs, flipping through to find the dress's style number.
Once they found it, they began placing orders.
They ordered in different sizes, ten pieces, twenty pieces at a time.
Jiang Xia delivered a brief speech and then stepped off the stage.
The fashion show officially began.
One by one, the models walked out with confident, light catwalks, each exuding liveliness, dynamism, and freedom.
This was the biggest difference between the fashion shows of this era and modern ones.
Women of this era pursued freedom, passion, and a bold sense of beauty, which the models portrayed to the fullest.
The first model to walk out wore a beige bat-sleeve mini skirt.
The buyers, who had just placed their orders, looked up and their eyes lit up once again!
Beautiful!
Charming!
No one spoke; their manners wouldn't allow them to disturb the show or those around them.
As the model approached, the details of the outfit became clear to everyone.
The buyers grew more and more satisfied, thinking to themselves:
This is beautiful!
Gorgeous!
This set is definitely going to be a bestseller!
...
As the model turned and walked back, some of the buyers glanced at their neighbors.
Sure enough, they were all hunched over their order catalogs, placing orders.
These were people who had been in the fashion industry for decades, and they knew which styles would become bestsellers at a glance!
Jiang Xia watched from the sidelines as everyone placed their orders, feeling satisfied.
Honestly, this dress, if taken on its own, was very simple!
Simplicity wasn't wrong; eternal classics often lean toward minimalism.
But it couldn't be too simple.
Simplicity doesn't mean minimalism.
If this dress were just displayed on a stand, it would be a plain white bat-sleeve dress, with the only distinctive feature being the bat sleeves, which fit the current trend of exaggerated shoulders. It wouldn't stand out, but it wouldn't be wrong either.
After all, simple outfits rarely go wrong.
And because it was originally priced low, it would still get some orders, but it wouldn't sell at a high price or in large quantities.
So Jiang Xia made some adjustments and added some details.
She added what was lacking and trimmed what was excessive!
The fit was crucial!
The dress was originally designed to be loose, with a length that fell well below the knees. However, if the dress was too long, it would lose its shape, making the figure and legs appear less defined and the proportions less flattering.
Jiang Xia widened the sleeve hem from 2.5 cm to 4 cm, giving the bat sleeves a more structured and stylish look!
She shortened the dress to just above the knees and added a belt, which perfectly balanced the upper and lower body proportions.
Punk elements were still very popular, so Jiang Xia paired the dress with a black leather belt made of lambskin, adorned with square metal buckles in a circular pattern.
When the belt was fastened, the loose dress naturally formed beautiful pleats, adding layers and texture!
With a few adjustments, the outline and lines of the dress were perfectly showcased!
However, the belt alone wasn’t enough; it still felt a bit too simple.
So, Jiang Xia added a matching leather necklace with square metal buckles, along with a pair of black lambskin gloves that extended past the elbows, featuring a punched-out design.
This application of the popular perforated elements, combined with the high-quality leather, gave the outfit a sophisticated and luxurious feel!
It was absolutely stunning!
Paired with black lambskin boots of the same material, the outfit was perfectly balanced from top to bottom!
True simplicity with a twist!
The overall quality of the outfit was elevated.
At first glance, it exuded a high-end, luxury vibe!
It had the aura of a high-end brand!
Of course, the price was also higher!
The model walked with confidence, wearing the simple dress that didn’t rely on excessive fabric. The clean lines and silhouette emphasized a casual, comfortable, minimalist, and structured look.
The perfect accessories complemented the outfit, highlighting the modern woman’s pursuit of freedom, boldness, generosity, and passion!
It was a surefire hit!
Order!
Order!
Order!
...
The buyers scribbled down their orders with pencils, not missing a single item—clothing, accessories, and shoes.
They occasionally glanced at their colleagues to see how many pieces they had ordered, and if they noticed someone ordering more, they would erase their numbers and increase them slightly.
Each person filled in numbers like 100, 150, or 100 pieces for each size.
This wasn’t a formal gown but a casual outfit that could be worn daily and suited many occasions. It would have a wide appeal, so the order quantities far exceeded those of formal gowns!
One person might order a few hundred pieces across different sizes, and with ten people, that would be thousands of pieces, and with dozens of people, it would be tens of thousands.
Undoubtedly a blockbuster hit!
The price of the entire outfit wasn’t cheap, but it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the foreign buyers.
Huaguo’s economic level was still quite poor in this era, with few people who could afford such items. However, there were plenty of wealthy individuals in developed countries.
As long as the design met their aesthetic standards, they had the means and willingness to buy.
Thus, the first blockbuster hit was born within ten minutes of the runway show starting!
The factory manager, sitting in the back row, peeked at the order quantities the foreign buyers were writing down and his legs trembled!
My goodness!
In all his years as a factory manager, he had never seen such a large order quantity for any single item!
