With the Golden Globes ceremony about to kick off, Blue Rite winning nominations for the first time, and "Buried Alive" still being expanded in an orderly manner, Andy naturally can't afford to miss this important opportunity to raise awareness and awareness.

However, Lan Li had been filming "Fast and Thrill/Love 5" in full swing before, and after the end, he went to Hawaii for a vacation, not to mention choosing clothes, and even the detailed data of body size, there was no time to measure. It's a real headache.

Andy made two preparations, on the one hand, he contacted the stylist who is now on the top list so that he could not repeat the situation of the last Emmy Award Melvin Bleders, and on the other hand, he set out to contact the major fashion brands to see if any brands were willing to sponsor Blue Gift and provide Blue Gift red carpet clothing for free.

This is not an easy task.

The fashion industry and the film industry are both vanity fairs shrouded in the spotlight, and their attitudes are clear, and they are really not interested in newcomers with limited achievements like Lan Li.

In recent times, Lan Li's upward momentum is indeed fierce, and the two nominations for the Golden Globe Awards have made him steal the limelight, but strictly speaking, Lan Li is still a newcomer who has appeared in the public eye for less than a year, and the Golden Globe Award nomination is not an Oscar, and more importantly, the return on men's clothing sponsorship investment is far less than that of women.

Of course, there are still some brands that are interested in Blue Gift, but most of them are second-tier brands, and there are also independent brands with unknown origins. There was nothing to say anything from the big names in the first line, and even Burberry politely declined Andy's inquiries - the last time he walked the Emmy red carpet in Burberry, but obviously, for such a big brand, this is not worth any points at all.

Andy set his sights on the stylist.

Stylists and agents are the same, they can manage the costume styling consultants of several artists at the same time, and their strong network can also provide more clothing resources. A top-notch stylist is paid even more than an agent – because they can take a cut of both the brand and the artist.

But choosing a stylist can be extremely difficult.

Those who are famous are either arrogant, picky, and not interested in creating new talents, or they are full of work and have no time to sign new artists;

It was under such circumstances that Eaton came into Andy's sight, and he came to the door to recommend himself, expressing his willingness to make a look for Lan Li.

Andy checked Eton's background, he has not been in the industry for more than a year, and he has no styling works worth mentioning. But Eaton's resume is very rich, born in Savile Row, graduated from the University of the Arts London, worked as a buyer for Harrods for nearly two years during his studies, and has good connections in the four major fashion weeks. After becoming a stylist, he has worked with many fashion magazines, and although he has not served as a regular stylist for an artist, his achievements have been recognized to a certain extent.

What impressed Andy the most was Eton's Savile Row background.

Lan Li's research and expertise in suits left a deep impression on him during the last confrontation with Melvin, so Andy decided to give Eaton a chance, and also Lan Li a chance, to see if they could rub off the spark. Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards have a higher margin for error and can be used as a cooperation between two people to test the waters.

So, we have today's meeting. Andy rushed to New York almost immediately, but Lan Li went to the supermarket slowly, which really made Andy a little crying and laughing.

It's just that Andy didn't expect that Lan Li and Eton actually knew each other. This made Andy curious about Lan Li's net worth background again.

"You custom look for Lan Li?" Matthew looked at Eaton with a flat gaze, obviously not looking too much, but the inadvertent pickiness was revealed.

Clearly, Matthew was looking at what Eaton was wearing, stylish, edgy, and unique, but not very suitable for Blue Rites.

"You're still the same as before. Eaton didn't care, and laughed, "We're not in the courtroom now, sir." Eaton deliberately accentuated the sound of the word "sir."

In fact, according to the rules, people have to use the word "Your Excellency" when they call Matthew and Lan Li, and André is like this - and they call André "Lord", but they are both classmates of the same age and are not in the upper social circles of London, so they are relatively approachable.

"If it's Lan Li, of course his style can't be like this, and besides, this is to attend the Golden Globes red carpet, not London Fashion Week. I'm a bold person, not a crazy person. When it comes to madness, who can compete with Lan Li. Eaton's voice is always brisk, revealing a smell of sunshine, which makes people can't help but smile.

"Are you talking about Lan Li?" said Andy, with a puzzled expression. "Blue Rite" and "Crazy", these two words really don't go together.

Matthew and Eton both cast their eyes at Lan Li, but they didn't say a word, Lan Li spread his hands, "The rumors stop at the wise. There is no superfluous explanation, but with a hint of banter, which makes people laugh.

"So, what are your plans? The red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, what's so special?" Lan Li looked at Eton.

Although they were old acquaintances, after college they gradually lost contact, and both of them focused on their majors. Therefore, Lan Li's understanding of Eaton's strength, style, and taste is very limited. Friends to friends, work to work, Lan Li is not going to appear on the red carpet of the Golden Globes in a big red suit.

Eaton shrugged, "I'm not quite sure when you'll be back, so I made an appointment with a few brands in advance to have the garments delivered to my hotel room." Eaton frowned and complained, "It's been less than a week since I arrived in New York, and I haven't even had time to find a place to live. ”

"Before I left the hotel, Alexander-Wang and Tom-Ford said they'd come over when they had time, and Christopher was in Los Angeles now, but he'd send an assistant. Eaton spoke at a very fast pace, crackling and saying a lot of information.

"Wait. Andy felt like he couldn't react.

Alexander has been the most sought-after designer in New York for the past five years, earning a rave run for his modern, minimalist design, while Tom has, needless to say, single-handedly rescued Gucci and subsequently established his own name as a first-tier brand.

"Christopher, which Christopher?" Andy had a corresponding name in his mind, but he needed to verify it.

"Bailey. Christopher-Bailey. Eaton replied succinctly.

Christopher, creative director of Burberry, took over Burberry in 1997 and brought the century-old brand back to the top, not only giving it a second life, but even gradually surpassing the golden age of the last century, creating a heyday.

Only a week earlier, Burberry had politely rejected the offer to sponsor the Blue Rite, but now Eaton had brought Burberry to the Blue Rite once again.

Andy was indeed a little surprised, and when he thought about Eton's background and work history, he suddenly realized that maybe things were not that simple. The British aristocracy has always been a fog for outsiders, because the huge network system is intricate, and Andy only knows that Savile Row has a close relationship with the royal family, and then it is one of the top producers of handmade suits.

He originally thought that Eaton was still young, and he had only been in the fashion industry for three years, with limited qualifications. But apparently, he may still be underestimating.

Andy only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Eton's Savile Row background is important, but even more important is his reading experience at Oxford Dragon Primary School and Eton College.

Someone once asked why fraternity in British universities is so important. In fact, the reason is very simple, it is connections.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, for example, was born into an upper-middle-class family in London, England, the daughter of a former stockbroker father and a baron-to-be mother. His family originated in Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands, and is a direct descendant of King William IV and his mistress, and has a long history in the British financial world, with many members of his ancestors working as stockbrokers or financial investors.

At university, he attended Oxford, where he joined the Bullington-Club, thanks to his family's strong background. After graduating, members of the Brotherhood spread across all walks of life and sectors of society, helping each other to lay the foundation for his political career, and he became Britain's youngest Prime Minister since Robert Banks-Jenkinson in 1812.

A 2014 film, "The Noisy Aristocrats", was based on the story of the Brinton Club.

In the UK, so-called "fraternity" connections do not start at university, but begin to accumulate in primary school. Like Lan Li, Andre, Eton, Matthew, etc., there are less than 600 classmates around him, but now they have begun to go out of society one after another, and under the arrangement of the family, they have come to their own positions and play a greater role.

Lan Li left London in a unique way, and if according to the family arrangement, it would not be difficult for Lan Li to seek an important position in the financial field. He is also a link in the network circle.

"It's dinner time, why don't we go to the hotel restaurant for dinner, exchange ideas, and then get to work, what do you think?" Eaton looks young, but has a clean and clean style, and you can tell that the polishing of the past few years is working.

Andy nodded, "That's great, of course." ”

Actresses need to start preparing evening dresses at least three months in advance, and male actors can be slightly shorter, but it also takes about a month. Now that the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is only half a month away, it is natural that every second counts.
