051 was despised
Hugo is serious.
In the early 90s, men's suits were more about the fabric and the overall feel, and even the most traditional tailored suits, tailored to each man's different situation, also left some room for the clothes rather than the fitting, as was the fashion trend at the time. If you come here wearing a suit that focuses on body lines in 2014, it is estimated that you will be called old-fashioned and untrendy by a group of people.
In fact, it is not only the suit, but also the clothes of the 21st century are all about fitting - not tight, covering up the shortcomings of the body, highlighting the advantages, boldly and directly showing the beauty of the body line, including T-shirts, shirts, jeans, coats, etc.
Therefore, when Hugo put on this suit, he really felt as if he had a bucket on his body, which reminded people of the appearance of a child when he stole his father's suit, the thick shoulder pads, the straight waistline, and the loose hem really made people laugh.
"Absolutely not." After being shocked by Hugo's words, the clerk hurriedly stepped forward to explain, she gestured to Hugo slightly, and then measured Hugo's broad shoulders with both hands, "You see, the lines here are very close, and they completely show your shoulder line." Of course, if you don't like it, you can reduce the shoulder pads a bit. "Nowadays, suits must have shoulder pads, and the kind of casual suits without shoulder pads that are full of youthful atmosphere are not yet popular, and people prefer to choose jackets or leather clothes than suits without shoulder pads.
Then the clerk smoothed down the line of Hugo's back, "Here in the shoulder line, if you button it up, the waistline can be revealed, and the inverted triangle body shape can be revealed." "Today's suits actually have a waistline, especially the French version of the design always has an endless pursuit of the waistline, but because the hem is too long, the waistline is not prominent, and it always looks a little bloated.
Hugo watched the clerk explain in detail there, and raised his eyebrows slightly, he felt that his aesthetic point of view was still incompatible with this, but what could he do? It's 1992, and that's the way it is, and he has to get used to it. But Hugo has always believed in one sentence: clothes are dead, people are alive. The same piece of clothing can show different styles on different people, in fact, this is the truth.
Hugo felt that his suit was still a little bloated and did not look satisfactory, so he turned his eyes away from the mirror in front of him, and continued to walk inside Armani's shop, wanting to see if there were other styles.
Although men's suits look similar on the surface, in fact, suits are very particular styles, a suit from the shoulder line to the collar, from the sleeves to the buttons, from the version to the material, there are countless exquisite, any change can make the suit through the details reflect different refinement. Tailor-made suits, in particular, are even more demanding.
Hugo simply looked at it with his eyes, in fact, it was difficult to discern the difference, but he mainly began to look at the cut of the line from the shoulder line to the waistline to the hem, hoping to find a more satisfactory fit.
After a while, Hugo saw a black suit on the far right of the hanger, also black, but the cut of this suit was obviously better. The shoulder line is more retro, with the style of the twenties of the last century, the design of the three buttons is too formal, but the width of the waist part is significantly reduced, and the hem has a beautiful arc, it is conceivable that the effect should be very good after wearing it, reminding Hugo of the "Great Gatsby" released in 2013. greatγ gatsby)" Leonardo's styling.
"I'd like to try this one." Hugo looked back at the clerk and said with a smile.
Joseph was also following behind Hugo at this time, and when he saw the suit, he took the initiative to take it off the rack, looked it up and down, and finally shook his head, "I don't see any difference." Joseph was indeed a little sluggish in this regard.
In fact, Hugo doesn't know much, but chooses according to his long-term aesthetics and intuition, "I don't know what the difference is, anyway, I'll know if I try it when I wear it." Hugo laughed and said to the clerk, "Could this suit be the same design as the one on me?" "If that's the case, then it's called a big mess.
The expression on the clerk's face was a little hesitant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened, as if there was something unspeakable, but she still explained seriously, "No, these two sets are not the same design. The cut of the shoulder line, waistline and hem will be a little more rounded, and this set is a three-piece set, and there is also a vest inside, and the overall retro effect will be more prominent. But ......"
Hugo didn't hear the clerk's "but", and turned to Joseph and said, "Wouldn't it be too exaggerated to wear a three-piece suit at the premiere?" "Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to use a three-piece set for the award ceremony, and it is only a premiere, and it is not the premiere of Hugo's own work, which is a bit of a fuss.
Joseph didn't think much of it, "You can try it first, and then we'll talk about it after seeing the results." "Anyway, I'm here to make a soft investment today, and if it works really well when I wear it, then even if it's not for the premiere, for some auditions or formal occasions to meet high-level people in the future, I still need to buy some formal clothing.
"Sir, sir......" The clerk tried to interrupt the conversation between Joseph and Hugo in a polite voice, and finally she attracted the attention of both of them, but the embarrassed expression on her face became more and more obvious, "Sir, this suit is out of stock." β
"And what is this set in my hand......?" Hugo thought it was ridiculous that all the clothes in Armani's store were sold out? This kind of thing can definitely be said to be incredible, if a set of clothes is sold out of size, then Armani will definitely put away this style of clothes to prepare for the seasonal promotion at that time. But now it's only halfway through March, there is still a long time before summer, and spring has just begun, so the clerk actually said that the clothes are out of stock, which is naturally unbelievable.
Joseph, who was standing next to him, also looked at the clerk, and the clerk was immediately embarrassed, stunned in place and a little at a loss, looking like he was thinking about how to respond to Hugo's question, "This, this is the last set in the store now, there is no size for you for the time being." The clerk pondered for a long time, and finally chose this way to answer.
Naturally, the situation here was immediately reported, and the head of Armani's branch immediately walked over quickly, "Good afternoon, gentlemen, I'm Frank Garner, is there anything I can do for you?" The level of this person named Frank is obviously more than one level higher than the clerk just now, the warm smile on his face looks very kind, but it does not make people feel that he is deliberately climbing the relationship, and the sincerity in his eyes, his hands intersected and his body leaning forward slightly reflect his sincerity, which can easily dispel the sense of rejection of others.
"I wanted to try this outfit, but I was told it wasn't in stock." Hugo was a little in the mood, and went out to shop happily, but it was not necessary to make a fuss. In fact, Hugo didn't have to wear this outfit, but the clerk's reason was so ridiculous that he didn't think it was acceptable. So, in the face of Frank's smile, Hugo was not aggressive, but calmly stated the facts, expressed his helplessness, and that's it.
Frank stretched out his hands and cast an inquiring look, Hugo handed over the clothes in his hand, Frank opened the label of the clothes and looked at them, and then nodded slightly, "Mr. Lancaster, here's the thing, this set of clothes is our new spring product, naturally there is still stock." β
This sentence immediately made Hugo and Joseph look at the clerk at the same time, Hugo was fine, but wondered why the clerk suddenly wanted to lie, but Joseph's sharp eyes made the clerk look away in panic.
"But we're not going to sell this outfit today." Although Frank's words were polite and deeply apologetic, the content of the sentence still made both Hugo and Joseph look at him in surprise, "Because the outfit Mr. Richard Gere has already booked, and he is going to wear it to the premiere of the movie." In order to avoid a collision, we will not be selling this outfit for the time being, if you are really satisfied, we can deliver it to your door next Monday. β
Hugo and Joseph looked at each other. This is actually a special service customized by top brands for celebrities, mainly to highlight the uniqueness of artists. It stands to reason that after Richard Gere ordered this outfit, the clerk should put it away first and hang it out after the premiere, but today I don't know which link went wrong, this set of clothes is still on the shelves, and it was also favored by Hugo, which is why the current situation has occurred.
"Uh...... Can't even try? Joseph coughed lightly and asked politely. He didn't want Hugo and Richard to collide at the premiere, which would be bad, but he still felt a little embarrassed, so he asked, and got an embarrassed smile from Frank, Joseph hesitated, and then said, "I think this outfit will work better on Hugo, why can't Hugo wear this outfit to the premiere?" β
"We still trust Richard more." Frank still had a polite smile on his face, but this smile seemed a little ironic, as if to say: What kind of green onion are you Hugo Lancaster, how can you compare to Richard Gere? Even if you are a hanger and look good in clothes, but in real life, skin is not the most important thing, compared to Richard, Hugo is not a little bit worse.
Without waiting for Joseph to respond, Frank continued, "Please cooperate with us. I apologize for the inconvenience. This seems to be saying: you don't dwell on it anymore, it's better to get acquainted.
Obviously, Hugo was despised along with Joseph.
