Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 237 - 234 Heavyweight Character

The creative director came on stage to give thanks, and on the way passed Yan Yan, giving her a high five.

Yan Yan’s interpretation of the outfit was completely different from that of the models.

It could be as commanding and extravagant as on the model’s body, or as subtly luxurious as Yan Yan wore it.

Without surprises, the piece Yan Yan was wearing would become the best-selling outfit of the season.

Many fashion reporters with a keen sense of smell wanted to clarify what exactly was going on with this new face, Yan Yan.

As the show ended, several fashion editors converged around Yan Yan, some speaking English, others Italian.

Press conferences were common, but not always the topic of conversation.

Yan Yan, never having seen such a spectacle and afraid she wouldn’t understand Italian or misspeak due to unfamiliarity with the protocols,

left the runway show without saying a word, just smiling.

And that would have been the end of it.

Yet, this unfamiliar face, from Milan to Paris, appeared almost at every Italian top luxury brand show in the "superstar" seat.

Frequently dressing in the latest seasonal release before the shows, Yan Yan never made a mistake in the eyes of the discerning fashion editors when it came to accessories, makeup, or shoes.

So much so that later on, when Yan Yan attended shows, fashion buyers began to predict which styles from the brand’s seasonal collection would be most favored, judging by the outfits she wore.

Unlike real superstars who would certainly share their opinions and accept interviews with the press after a show,

this beautiful yet unfamiliar Asian face seemed to have a significant flaw.

No language skills. Apart from smiling, she hadn’t uttered a single word.

No one knew who she was, nor why she could be found in the best seats at major shows, close to the brand directors and the creative directors. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Of course, those who didn’t understand included Yan Yan herself.

If all of this was due to that designer dinner, then Yan Yan really did feel unexpectedly honored.

Novice Yan, aiming for no mistakes, put all her thought into how she should style her outfits for the next show.

The increasingly mysterious Yan Yan, after arriving in Paris, even received invitations from many French fashion houses apart from VALENTINO.

In short, Yan Yan was extremely cautious, fearing she would wear the wrong clothes or say the wrong thing.

By the time Yan Yan realized that she had inexplicably become the international fashion circle’s most mysterious "heavyweight figure," the Fall/Winter Fashion Week of 2012 had already ended.

How mysterious was Yan Yan?

Anyone who had contact with Yan Yan would have their background thoroughly investigated.

But in Italy, Yan Yan was a stranger in a strange land with virtually nothing to uncover.

Lei Pili was seen as government support, and the brand director as industry support.

Apart from that, the only person Yan Yan had contact with in Florence was Allegro, the Trust Fund Baby.

Allegro’s family, if traced back generations, could be linked all the way back to the late 19th century, receiving their title from Victor Emmanuel II (Vittorio Emanuele II), the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.

Allegro was born into a typical European noble family, one of the few that did not fall into decline with the disappearance of noble privileges.

Many European nobilities have been passed down generation after generation to this day. Because many families are poor at managing, their prosperity has long been limited to their family history.

Allegro’s family is quite different from those self-righteous and reserved yet powerless nobles.

The previous generation was devoted to training their children to be businessmen.

That’s why Allegro went to Wharton Business School instead of studying arts, geology, philosophy, or other traditional noble but unmarketable disciplines.

Allegro is now in charge of the family business in Florence, so, apart from business trips, he spends most of his time in Florence.

Yan Yan does not have a clear understanding of Allegro’s specific background, and Yan Ling doesn’t have a comprehensive knowledge either.

Anyway, having been nurtured by a family trust fund since birth is enough to illustrate the economic background of Allegro’s family.

Personally, Allegro is amiable and does not have the high-and-mighty air typical of traditional noble conception.

In fact, those who look down on others just because their families are wealthy can at best be considered the heirs of nouveau riche.

Children of historic noble families like Allegro, have been attending noble girls’ schools since kindergarten, receiving the finest lady’s education, and their behavior is always elegant and proper.

The reason for Allegro picking Yan Yan up with a sports car at the airport turned out to be that Yan Yan told Yan Ling that she could just take a taxi anywhere and didn’t need anyone to pick her up, and Yan Ling conveyed this to Allegro verbatim.

Because of private equity and insurance matters, Yan Yan met Allegro several times.

Allegro admired Yan Yan’s style of dress, and after meeting her "bestie" Bao Bao, became quite close to Yan Yan.

The cause of Allegro’s closeness, however, was different from what Yan Yan understood.

Yan Yan had encountered few lesbians and believed that lesbians should be like Shen Xi and Bao Bao, a combination of P and T.

But in reality, in a mature society, it’s perfectly normal for P to like P and T to be with T.

If Allegro had to choose between Bao Bao and Yan Yan, it’s quite possible she would have chosen Yan Yan.

However, Allegro had a fairly stable partner in the United States.

It was not out of desire to develop something further with Yan Yan or Bao Bao that she became close; it was purely because she regarded Yan Yan and Bao Bao as "one of their own."

Yan Yan and Allegro would occasionally go out shopping and eating together.

When the two women spent time together, they talked about fashion and life’s little things, never prying into each other’s family backgrounds.

Yan Yan was disinterested, and Allegro felt it was unnecessary.

Just as Yan Yan inevitably heard from Yan Ling that Allegro was a Trust Fund Baby, Allegro naturally came to know things she had handled herself.

For instance, that Yan Yan was very wealthy, casually investing tens of millions of US dollars in a private fund.

Similarly, Yan Yan’s personal insurance also involved calculations in the tens of millions of US dollars.

As a businesswoman in Florence, Allegro’s background information is mostly public, and if one wanted to investigate, it wouldn’t be too difficult to uncover Allegro’s background.

Because of the mysterious emergence of Yan Yan in the fashion circle, many people who couldn’t dig up Yan Yan’s background but had some connections with Allegro began to inquire about Allegro instead.
