I Dominate the Entertainment Industry with My Styling Skills

IDEMS Ch. 44. Jewelry Exhibition, GG Dance Cover, Film Crew Makeup Preparation?

This jewelry exhibition was sponsored by a well-known international brand, showcasing the season's high jewelry collection along with invitations extended to numerous jewelry collectors from around the world to display their collections.

Thus, the jewelry on display here is incredibly diverse, encompassing styles from East to West, from classic elegance to exotic flair. The exhibition space is bustling with people, including many celebrities and fashion industry professionals.

Naturally, Qi Yanning saw Editor-In-chief Ning of Wave magazine.

She was talking to a foreign man dressed in a cutting-edge style. Despite his age, he carried himself with elegance and a confident gleam in his eyes.

When Editor-In-chief Ning saw Qi Yanning, she greeted him warmly.

"Xiao Qi, you're here too!" Editor-In-chief Ning welcomed him enthusiastically.

Qi Yanning smiled and, along with Ling Cangzhou, moved forward through the crowd.

"Ling Zong, you're here too?" Editor-In-chief Ning was a bit surprised, as Ling Cangzhou rarely appeared at such events. She hadn't noticed him earlier, since he blended in with the staff while standing next to Qi Yanning.

"It's a rare opportunity," Ling Cangzhou smiled modestly, nodding slightly to them both, and then stood quietly beside Qi Yanning without saying more.

Seeing his demeanor, Editor-In-chief Ning decided it wasn't the best time to engage with him and continued chatting with Qi Yanning.

"Xiao Qi, this is Alaric, the designer for the brand Aphrodite," Editor-In-chief Ning said, smiling as she introduced him to Qi Yanning.

Qi Yanning glanced at Alaric, who had been sizing him up, and returned a polite smile.

His reaction caused Alaric to raise an eyebrow in surprise. "You don't know me?"

He spoke Mandarin with a peculiar accent, his expression a bit exaggerated, adding a theatrical touch.

"The 'Wind and Poetry' series from last season, and the 'Flourishing Ruins' collection from two winters ago, were masterpieces. Your talent left a deep impression," Qi Yanning responded calmly.

Of course, he knew who Alaric was. Aphrodite is one of the top fashion brands worldwide, wielding strong influence in the fashion world. Alaric had become the brand's lead designer a few years back, producing stunning designs and elevating Aphrodite to new heights, making him undoubtedly a top designer.

Alaric's expression grew even more dramatic, now genuinely intrigued by Qi Yanning. His last haute couture show marked a significant shift from his earlier intricate style, which critics perceived as his creative decline and considered less successful.

But only he knew that the two seasons Qi Yanning mentioned were his personal favorites. One marked the beginning of his fame, while the other was his most poorly received collection, labeled "mediocre" by the public. It was rare for someone to group these two together and praise them both as masterpieces.

"Why?" Alaric asked.

"These were your explorations, one looking outward and the other inward. Very interesting," Qi Yanning replied simply.

Alaric burst into laughter, his eyes brimming with admiration as he patted Qi Yanning's shoulder. He had never shared this with anyone, not even his closest friends understood, yet Qi Yanning saw it. My god, he had found his soulmate in a foreign land!

"Alaric, this is Qi Yanning. He's the makeup artist behind that set of cover looks you were interested in."

"Wow!" Alaric raised an eyebrow dramatically. "So you're the makeup artist! Impressive!"
