Chapter 880 Extra Chapter·Fucheng Past·Colorful Colors

Brenda Hakalal got up early.

After a simple wash, she came to her desk, found a blank page from a thick stack of design drawings, and used the tracing pen in the pen holder to elegantly write a line of cursive writing [Closed today].

Blinking her eyes, she was a little worried that not everyone could understand her cursive writing. After thinking for a moment, she simply changed the color and repeated it with a standard pen below, and also drew a simple smiley face.

As a "ten-year-old store" in Fusbairo City, Hakalal Tailor Shop rarely rests, but today is different. Brenda has a reason to suspend business.

After writing, she found a few thumbtacks and nailed them to the wooden notice board hanging on the door of her own shop.

After carefully confirming that the door was locked and that anyone who knocked on the door could see the notice she had written at the first time, Brenda hurried away.

The weather in Fosbyro in March was not as warm as spring, but even the description of warm and cold was a bit too mild. Once the wind started, it would take people back to the cold winter season when the breath of Anivia was flying.

But even so, Brenda, who was only wearing a thin coat, was still in high spirits, as if she was beautiful and freezing.

She was going to attend a party, which would determine the focus of her work for a long time.

"I hope there will be something eye-catching at the exchange meeting." Brenda was secretly looking forward to it, and she quickened her pace, "It's not easy to get an admission ticket."

Yes, what Brenda was going to attend next was not a ball or a salon, but a fairly formal industry exchange meeting - to be precise, it was an internal exchange meeting before the fifth Fosbyro Fashion Expo.

As the largest textile processing center and finished clothing manufacturing site in Runeland today, the Fosbyro Fashion Expo has a long history.

Although the fifth session doesn't sound like much, considering that the Fosbyro Fashion Fair is held every four years, in other words, this fair has a history of seventeen years.

For Fosbyro, a city that rose only after the arrival of Her Majesty Laxana, seventeen years can fully describe its curve along the way.

The first Fosbyro Fashion Fair was personally led by Her Majesty Laxana, and its goal was to display and promote the fur clothing of Fosbyro's specialty to other parts of Demacia.

After that fair, which was personally brought by the three giants of the North, fur products from Fosbyro appeared as luxury goods at the banquets of various nobles in Demacia for the first time.

The core of the second session was still the promotion of fur products, but the promotion targets had expanded from Demacia nobles to northern trade caravans and Ionians who came from afar - after that, Ionia began to import fur from the North, and these specially cut and designed fur products brought amazing profits to Fosbyro.

In the subsequent third session, the meaning of official promotion was obviously much weaker. At that time, the three towns of Fucheng were accepting immigrants on a large scale, so the third Fosbyro Fashion Expo had an internal exchange meeting for the first time.

Many practitioners in the clothing industry got inspiration at the internal exchange meeting. After that, with the further development of Fosbyro's economy, the lack of clothing styles for locals gradually eased, and the Fosbyro Fashion Expo "fell into the mortal world" for the first time.

At that time, Brenda was still a novice tailor who had just left the textile factory. When she heard the news without the invitation, she could only envy in her heart and secretly vowed to participate in it.

Unfortunately, during the fourth Fosbyro Fashion Expo, although Brenda was already a well-known independent clothing designer and independent tailor, the export textile industry was in its infancy at that time, and the entire clothing trade fair was somewhat off topic.

People participating in the expo focused more on new fabrics that were easier to produce, industrial design of the textile processing industry, and other links, and did not pay much attention to clothing design itself.

So although Brenda could have gotten an invitation through operations, she finally chose to give up.

It was not until this year that the focus of the fifth Fosbiero Fashion Expo finally returned to clothing design again, and Brenda's shop became a "ten-year-old shop". She then fought for a place in the internal exchange and set off early to go straight to the Fosbiero Theater.

Today, the Fosbiero Theater has been booked by the Fosbiero Clothing Industry Association, which hosted the Expo. After showing her invitation letter and being verified, Brenda quickly entered the theater.

The audience seats on the main stage have been temporarily removed, replaced by a clothing display area divided into categories. Since Brenda came a little early, the exhibits have not been fully displayed at this time, and the booth layout is somewhat messy.

But after a simple look, Brenda is still full of envy for these exhibits.

Although she has obtained a place in the internal exchange meeting, she can only stand like a minion at most, and can only listen with her ears, and has no chance to show her own works at all.

The products that can be exhibited at the main venue are either extremely avant-garde designs that may lead the trend in the future; or clothing with different regional styles and cultural exchange significance; or clothing that promotes certain new designs and new materials and makes them popular.

It is no exaggeration to say that the clothing that can be displayed here, even if it is just an ordinary-looking piece, often has a very important meaning behind it.

Just like one of the canvas suits that is light blue and seems to be slightly faded, it represents the canvas workwear style that has been popular in Fosbairo in recent years.

Brenda is not very good at tailoring canvas clothing, but she knows very well why this material and this style of clothing are so popular in Forsbarrow and even throughout the North.

With four distinct seasons and relatively low temperatures except in summer, the people of Fosbello have always had the habit of wearing coats. Normal people cannot accept rough canvas clothing when worn directly next to the skin, but it has a wear-resistant effect when used as a coat. Advantages, so canvas clothing became popular in Forsbarrow during the Great Migration Era.

At that time, when you walked into various factories of Fossbarrow, almost all workers were wearing canvas jackets with uniform specifications. These canvas clothes, which put reliability as the first requirement, became almost the standard of all new Fossbarrows. An immigrant’s first new piece of clothing.

Then, with the development of the economy, canvas jackets gradually became disliked because they represented hard work and the pain of those who had just left their homes.

However, with the establishment of New Demacia, with the further development of Forsbarrow's economy, and as those immigrants gradually started families and started businesses, these canvas coats gradually took on more meaning.

Rough materials and rugged tailoring styles no longer represent low-end and backwardness, but have become the epitome and imprint of an era.

However, because of the huge scale of Forsbarrow's northern trade, the locals soon discovered that canvas clothing seemed to be very common in many areas with a large amount of canvas output, and it lacked personal style and fundamentalist canvas. The clothes seem a little tasteless.

How can we make it more representative of Fosbairo and more Fosbairo style?

Tailors began to try to update the style of canvas jackets, changing them from the wide main body and locking hands and feet that were convenient for work in the past to a close-fitting and slim-fitting design.

At the same time, canvas materials have also been further subdivided. After someone used expensive blue ocher for printing and dyeing, various blue canvases began to appear. This kind of canvas represents Demacia and also represents Fox. Once launched, Bairro's blue canvas was instantly popular.

On this basis, some tailors tried to add fur lapels and cuffs to the blue canvas coat. This was a bit superfluous and did not gain popularity. However, this attempt made people discover that the canvas was not completely skimmed when it came into contact with it. After the fur is removed, it becomes harder, more defined, and has a special fine texture.

As a result, a new clothing material was born.

Coupled with the low-end silk products that have entered the homes of ordinary people in recent years, Fosbairo's blue canvas jacket has now formed a unique style of fat sail fabric + slim tailoring + silk lining.

Behind a simple canvas jacket are the innovations and historical changes of Forsbarrow clothing fabrics, and as a tailor, Brenda feels this very deeply.

……………………

If a quick walk around the venue only made Brenda feel the progress of Forsbarrow's clothing industry, then the internal exchange meeting that officially started in the afternoon was a bit eye-opening for her.

Large-scale textile factories, printing and dyeing factories are actively collecting different new dyes from various places in Runeland through northern trade, and trying to create different types of new fabrics and new colors.

During the internal exchange meeting, they presented a lot of materials that Brenda had never seen before. From Brenda's perspective, many of them were quite promising.

Representatives from these manufacturers will then enthusiastically encourage clothing designers participating in internal exchanges to use their new materials to try out new styles.

For this reason, they are more than willing to provide fabrics at low prices or even for free.

When things got to this point, Brenda finally had a clear understanding of the purpose of this internal exchange meeting - no wonder the scale of this internal exchange meeting was much larger. It turned out that various textile mills and printing and dyeing factories hoped to use This attracts more fashion designers to try their new materials.

Yes.

New materials and new models have always complemented each other.

Especially in this era where everything is moving forward at a rapid pace.

If a hit model can really come out, the designer will be famous far and wide, and the manufacturers who have mastered the exclusive materials will make a lot of money. Internal exchange meetings are an opportunity for them to cooperate with each other.

Unfortunately, Brenda’s own design level is still relatively limited.

As an immigrant from Mithral City to Forsbarrow, Brenda did not receive a good education, and because she was already an adult when she immigrated to Forsbarrow, she only participated in the work while working in a textile factory. I have learned simple literacy and have no experience of studying in school.

Although she was praised by many people for her dexterity, after looking around, she found that just relying on dexterity was not enough here.

Dexterity and experience are important.

But it is equally important to have a clear idea and creative genius. Unfortunately, this is too much luxury for Brenda who comes from a poor background.

However, the fact that textile factories and printing and dyeing factories took the initiative to seek cooperation with fashion designers gave Brenda some inspiration - although she herself is not very good at thinking of ideas, if she is faced with specific tailoring needs, then Maybe there's still a chance?

In this case, Brenda quickly had a new idea.

Maybe I can try to find out if there is a strongest king designer and have a win-win cooperation with him?

Thinking of this, Brenda felt that her mind was opened, so she actively participated in the subsequent free communication and began to look for a possible partner for herself.

She was lucky.

Not long after, she found a very interesting guy.

An old noble.

He was wearing a slightly old robe. The robe looked ordinary at first, but if you look closely at the overall line, it is not difficult to find that both the collar and the cuffs are embroidered with very delicate patterns.

The embroidery material is dark gold thread, which is low-key and a bit ostentatious, and it is a very obvious old noble style.

Just from the color of this robe, its owner is probably not living a good life now. As far as Brenda knows, this should be a daily dress. If it is an old noble of Demacia, the robe should have been thrown away long ago.

But the other party is still wearing it, so it is not difficult to see the embarrassment of this old noble gentleman.

Well, it fits Brenda's stereotype of most old nobles - poor and particular.

However, although the other party's dress is a bit shabby, he has shown an aesthetic level beyond ordinary people in his comments. From Brenda's point of view, his comments on many clothes can be regarded as sharp.

Moreover, due to his unique and superior emphasis, a designer who has been criticized immediately chose to retort, hoping that he would also produce some "at least worthy of being criticized".

Then the old noble gentleman was silent - from his trembling lips, he seemed to be a thorough talker. His old noble origin and education gave him a very good aesthetic level, but when it came to cutting, he couldn't produce a single work.

In the end, the old noble gentleman who couldn't produce a work left the center of everyone's sight with trembling lips. When he sat in a corner and almost fell into autism, Brenda took the initiative to find him.

She took out a ready-made garment she had prepared, showed it to the other party, and asked for advice.

"Why, are you here to see the joke too?" The other person's eyes were a little red, "That's not necessary, I'm not interested in playing the clown."

"No, I sincerely need some comments." Brenda smiled, "With a learning attitude."

So, Brenda got a condescending and sharp review, and her blood pressure rose a lot.

Fortunately, Brenda, who had other thoughts, was not really angry about it, but praised the other person's taste and recognized most of the other person's sharp reviews.

This made the old noble gentleman's spirit and spirit much better. Taking this opportunity, Brenda began to try to invite him to act with her.

"With your guidance, I will definitely be able to produce a flawless work!"

The other person did not speak.

But from the other person's slightly narrowed eyes, he was very moved.

A difficult extra.
