Halo

LVIII

Life after the Met Gala was pretty interesting. Elio was running Maléfique mostly, while I did final approval on designs. Having him as the Head Designer for the house, and I as the executive designer was working really well for both of us. My work fell into the exclusive custom pieces for Maléfique and Chanel for celebrity clients and opening and closing pieces for fashion shows. I stepped down from designing F1 uniforms, and instead expanded the costume design department for movies I was taking on as well. 

Mick and I are now great friends again, and we check up on each other often, and both are still single. Of course, fans have been quick to ship me with people including the face of Maléfique, and Timothée Chalamet. Others have been wondering if I would end up back with Hero, knowing the past and history we had. 

Of course, a little over three weeks I found myself where I was back in 2019, back in France with F1 drivers piling into my office to do fittings for the fashion show, for the Monaco Grand Prix fashion show. Of course, they asked me to host it again and I couldn't say no. 

This year I did the fashion show a bit differently it was completely designed by me, and I had the actual fashion show taking place on a runway on the water. Spectators would be on the docks of the marina and in yachts watching, along with it being broadcasted. It will be at night, and illuminated beautifully with a warm glow with theme of "A Night at the Casino".

"They're here!" Elio called as he walked into my office with a grin on his face as the drivers followed him. 

"Let's get this party started!" Daniel exclaimed causing everyone to cheer. 

"Yes, right after my opener and closer for the show arrives!" I replied just as Timothée and Hero walked into my office. 

It was a large office in Monte Carlo overlooking the water. Enough room for different sections of my office, of course, there was my executive desk, with two chairs opposite mine, then a bit further two couches with a coffee table in the middle, and beyond that a design area and small pedestal for models to stand on, and of course a large balcony. 

Timothée and Hero both took the chair at my desk, while the drivers sat down on the couches, and Elio whose office had a door that led into mine pulled up a chair behind my desk. 

"Alright, so here is the plan. Hero will be opening the show, followed by you drivers, and then Hero will do a soft closing with Elio since they match each other in height. The lights will go off, and Non, Je ne regrette rien will begin playing and Timothée and I will pull up in a classic wooden motor boat, like at the Venice Film Festival. We then will walk the runway together to close the show. Hero, Thimothée, and my outfits will be auctioned off while the drivers will be donated to different museum exhibits." I explained. "This show will be very important as it is for Charity, and everything has to go perfect, because not my fashion house's name on it, but Chanel's name. This is the first fashion show I will be putting on as the Executive Designer of Chanel and its owner. So, the pressure is on, but I'm sure it will be great." 

Mick spoke up, "So who is the official face of the company?" 

Elio took the question, "Well I decided on Hero being the male face of Maléfique while I'm still working on deciding on a female face as well. After this show, Hero won't be affiliated with Chanel or Stella, because of a clause in his contract and pretty much all contracts except Timothée's. It's to keep our work separate." he explained. 

I nodded, "So, to answer your question Mickey, Timothée is the face of Chanel. Unless he quits, he'll always be the face you see for Chanel. Anne Hathway is my other face of the company. Though she won't do fashion shows. Anyways, enough talk we must get started."
