Chapter 217
The high-end show’s second round was a showcase of casual clothing.
From the opening model Kelson through to the other top male models, Ji and Ya transitioned from British retro to today’s youth fashion very smoothly. A wide variety of casual attire such as pullovers, t-shirts, jackets and capes were all displayed here.
Ming Yu wore a very casual sweater with a slanted painter’s hat that had a variety of patterns on it. The hat was beige and the sweater a bright yellow. Once paired with the slim white trousers, the youth’s beautiful figure was outlined and he gave off a refreshing appearance.
This time, Xi Ze wore a more formal casual suit. The overall style started to transition to the third round for formal high-end clothing.
When the two people met in the middle of the catwalk, something very interesting happened. Ming Yu suddenly took the hat off his head and placed it on Xi Ze’s head, while the latter continued to calmly move forward.
This little incident seemed wrong but soon all the audience members laughed helplessly.
Who said that high-end fashion shows must be formal and serious?
Just this year, Otilla changed the style of its female high-end show and invited 20 of the world’s top celebrities to gamble in the middle of the show!
As early as 50 years ago, the high-end shows were no longer so rigid and solemn. In recent years, many big names replaced the normal catwalk form with ‘models in dresses and dancing parties.”
Once Xi Ze turned to leave, some people in the audience couldn’t help covering their lips. It was because Ming Yu’s action was really too funny. He was 6cm shorter than Xi Ze and had to put on the hat in a short time. Therefore, the hat was slightly askew.
However, Xi Ze just continued in a calm and indifferent manner!
This type of heart show it really wasn’t a big deal.
After Xi Ze, the final round of high-end clothing was shown. Kelson’s body perfectly showed off a deep red suit that was in the most traditional British style. The single row of double buttons showed Kelson’s strong but not burly figure, making many designers feel amazed.
All the outfits after this, including Harriman’s interpretation’, made the audience feel that Ji and Ya really was an old luxury brand, every outfit was so beautiful!
The theme of this Ji and Ya high-end show was:
『 The gentleness of elegance 』。
Chinese seemed so complicated. For the foreigners who didn’t understand Chinese, the translation of this sentence made them even more confused. But after watching so many outfits, everyone gradually understood the meaning that Xi Ze wanted to express.
Ji and Ya’s style was extremely noble and elegant. Whether it was women or men’s clothing, it was filled with a type of noble and elegant style that was hard to describe. It always sat at the top of the fashion industry and no one could easily offer an opinion about it.
Today’s high-end show added a touch of gentleness in the details to the basic elegant style. Whether it was the lines of the collar on a jacket, the tailoring design or the bold colour matching, Ji and Ya gave the fashion industry a perfect answer after two years.
Now it reached the most important stage of the show.
The third last model, Harriman had appeared, raising the atmosphere to the extreme. Once Ming Yu appeared in the spotlight, the audience burst into warm applause and paid tribute to the most exquisite clothing on this supermodel.
Ming Yu’s outfit was the most orthodox British style. It included a vest inside the jacket and a gold pen in the chest pocket. The large collar of the white inner shirt was clearly exposed to everyone. He followed the rhythm of the music and walked slowly to the end of the T stage.
His eyes were calm and his expression was calm. As Ming Yu walked, a noble temperament came from every gesture like an overwhelming flood, causing the audience at the scene to hold their breaths. They could only watch him step towards them.
Throughout the show, Ming Yu’s first appearance was a natural pressure, his second appearance was a gentle pressure while his third appearance was a completely cold and expensive pressure.
There was a saying in the industry: The real top outfit is when the gorgeousness can be seen with the naked eye.
Now this outfit was shown off by the performance of this excellent youth. The combination surpassed 100%, making it unforgettable. People couldn’t help studying the details and innovations hidden in the clothes.
This type of situation had a big 360 degree change when Ming Yu turned around and Xi Ze stepped onto the stage.
Everyone who saw Ming Yu’s outfit felt amazed and started praising it. But when they saw Xi Ze’s outfit, the first thing that came to mind was surprise.
Generally, the finale model would wear the most beautiful and excellent outfit.
When Ming Yu appeared, he already wore such a grand and beautiful outfit to express the profound meaning of Ji and Ya. They were looking for to Xi Ze’s appearance but he was unexpected dressed so… casually?
This confusion changed to sighs at Xi Ze’s second step.
Xi Ze’s outfit was extremely irregular and not solemn because in many people’s hearts, they thought a high-end outfit should be tied with a tie or bow tie. It was best to have cufflinks and finish it off with delicate gemstone tie clip.
Of course, this was what Ming Yu did with his outfit.
But unlike Ming Yu, Xi Ze had the black suit’s outerwear coat wide open and the inside wasn’t a formal shirt but a tight black short coat. This manner of wearing the outfit made the audience immersed in the high-end show unable to react for a moment. However, when they looked at it again, they had a unique and strange feeling.
The fact that it was used as a finale outfit indicated that this outfit was naturally the best one.
Xi Ze was also wearing it so many people started to observe carefully.
Raymond narrowed his eyes for a moment before suddenly smiling and turning to the assistant designer next to him. “This is the biggest gap between you and Xi Ze. In addition to inspiration and experience, you still aren’t as careful and bold as he is. He has always been bold with his creative inspirations. You would never have his determination to use this outfit as a finale. Look carefully at the contrast between his outfit and Ming Yu’s outfit. It is a set in the same series.”
The assistant designer was stunned and immediately retorted, “Teacher, how can this be the same series of outfits? The styles are completely different!”
Raymond might be old and his temper wasn’t good, but he patiently explained to his successor. “Ming Yu’s outfit is the most orthodox while Xi Ze’s one is too avant-garde. But if you look closely at some of the threading on their cuffs, you will understand. The cuffs have two silver patterns, the collar style is the same and the curved lines of the neckline are exactly the same.”
There was a pause before Raymond continued, “The gentleness of elegance. These two outfits completely reveal the theme. Ming Yu is the elegance while Xi Ze is the gentleness. With these two outfits, we ‘Rosalind’ aren’t as good as ‘Ji and Ya’ this year.
As Raymond said these words, the two handsome might met on the catwalk.
One was the top supermodel who was best in the world for eight years while the other was a super newcomer who exploded in the last two years.
Despite facing their lover, the two people weren’t the least bit moved. They continued to walk forward calmly but this time, Xi Ze’s hand rose when the two of them met in the middle.
To everyone’s surprise, Xi Ze smoothly took the royal blue collar clip from the youth’s chest and then walked away, even smoothly clasping the clip onto his own collar!
Once this clip was used as a medium between the two outfits, many designers experienced a rude awakening and suddenly understood the meaning of Xi Ze and Ming Yu’s outfits!
After that, there was endless applause!
All the models appeared once again and Xi Ze walked at the end without any scruples, holding the hands of his beloved youth in front of the crowd.
The crowd was silent but no one could ignore their light! Ocne the model’s curtain call ended, Xi Ze didn’t step instead. He led the smiling MIng Yu with his to bow in thanks to the audience.
On this summer’s night, the stars of the world were gathered on this stage and the praises and applause from all over the world were dedicated to this dazzling supermodel!
Ji and Ya’s 2018 July show ended.

Chapter 218
The next day, all the major media reported on this grand and brilliant Ji and Ya show!
Even Huaxia Daily, which had always been orthodox and serious, wrote an introduction on its front page. It stated how Ji and Ya was a top luxury brand in Huaxia and held its first high-end menswear show in two years, as well as introducing the impact of this fashion show on the industry.
It wasn’t enough to have a 100 word introduction on the first page. After that, Huaxia Daily used almost a whole page in its fashion entertainment section to introduce the relevant information in great detail.
It was already very scary that a high-end show could rise to this level.
In addition to Huaxia, countless top newspapers and magazines of foreign countries published articles on this matter. There were all types of praise from the British ‘Times’, the U.S. ‘Washington Post’, the French ‘Le Figaro’, the German ‘Bild’…
These globally representative magazines wrote a rich introduction to Ji and Ya’s high-end show, let alone media magazines such as Time Entertainment Daily and Fashion Weekly.
This high-end show was no longer just a matter of Ji and Ya. This fashion show contained some of the world’s top supermodels! Apart from Luo Cheng, 19 of the world’s top 20 were present! The lowest ranked male model was ranked at 48.
Such a group of outstanding people combined with the fashion brand meant it was difficult for this fashion show to not attract attention.
Among the praises of the media, many people praised the accumulation of Ji and Ya’s two years. This time great progress had been made in menswear. Other people praised Xi Ze, Ming Yu, Kelson, Harriman and other people’s excellent performance. In particular, they were amazed by Xi Ze and Ming Yu’s last ‘collar clip exchange.’
The Time: Two outfits of very different styles, they seem to have a magical unity after exchanging the collar clip. The blue jewel clip fits the black orthodox British suit of Ming YU as well as the casual and unconstrained outfit of Xi Ze.
The Washington Post: This time, Ji and Ya has taken the lead in fashion.
Le Figaro: Yesterday, Mr. Rayleigh Roman, the chief designer of the famous French luxury brand Otilla, vigorously praised the Ji and Ya high-end menswear show. According to Master Roman’s words, this fashion show inherits the elegance and nobleness of Ji and Ya but also contains a unique gentleness. No matter the details in each outfit or the creative inspiration, it is enough to make it this year’s top menswear show.
Endless praise spread over the world like snowflakes. Westerners might not understand Huaxia’s latest movie or the hottest games, but Ji and Ya was deeply imprinted in their hearts as the top luxury brand in Huaxia and the world.
The world’s top luxury brand was called Ji and Ya and it was from the east.
Sometimes, people whose strength wasn’t enough would be jealous. When Ji and Ya was first established, it provoked several sunspots. People laughed at Mrs. Ji Heya for being from a small family. Sooner or later, the brand would be damaged.
But decades later, Ji and Ya hadn’t faded and actually became more prosperous. Once Xi Ze became Ji and Ya’s chief designer, no one dared say that Ji and Ya was a brand without a rating.
The charm of this brand was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, making it acknowledged.
Today, Ji and Ya attracted the attention of countless Westerners. They knew that Xi Ze taking the stage again after two years was a very important event!
The fashion lovers all over the world were looking forward to the video release announcement for this high-end show. For many domestic fans, they didn’t need to see photos or watch videos at all. Just the legendary ‘collar clip exchange’ was enough to make them burst.
【 Ahhhhh!!! Exchange collar clips! Exchange collar clips! I knew that God Xi and Mushroom would be embarrassing! 】
【 23333333 This was God Xi’s plan for a long time. He actually let Ming Yu go second last while he is last. I said from the beginning that God Xi’s arrangement is definitely purposeful. I am the prophecy king ～～～ 】
【 I don’t have any photos or videos but I can already write 20Ws while having a nosebleed… 】
【 LS You aren’t alone! This should be included! T-play or something… hey, my nose is a bit wet. Ah…red… ＿（：з」∠）＿ 】…
The photos of the high-end show were generally kept secret unless they were officially announced. The fans were starving while waiting for the official release and ji and Ya officials weren’t as unreliable as the World Supermodels Organization. The third day after the high-end show, they released a series of photos.
They were just photos, not the runway show.
Before or after the high-end show, the various studios would have the models wear the outfits and take some hard photos of the makeup. These photos were hot by the world’s top photographers and the makeup designed by the world’s top makeup artists. In many cases, the brands would reveal the position of the high-end show through the background arrangement of these makeup photos.
In the Ji and Ya photos, the most obvious element was the fresh and delicate rose petals.
In the empty white background, rose petals gently landed on the ground or were sometimes scattered in the air. This harsh red and white contrast produced an illusion for anyone who saw this photos. It was like a drop of blood had branded the photo that couldn’t be washed away.
『 The gentleness of elegance 』。
This gentleness was present in the entire fashion show that had an elegant and soft style, but was it really gentle elegance?
Water could wash away everything but it could also be contaminated.
Just like the last collar clip exchange interpretation for the last two outfits, their gentleness was like a rose with thorns. The thorns would still sting them, no matter how elegant. Whether it was the gracefulness of a noble or a yuppie, every man had a unique gentleness.
The beautiful photos were released on the official website.
Ji and Ya did something bad here. They put each photo in the order of the model’s appearance. If they wanted to see the next one, they had to click on the photo and there was no option to skip a page.
This type of behaviour without any scruple angered a large group of fans.
However, Ji and Ya didn’t care about the fans’ anger ╮（╯▽╰）╭.
They refused to change the setting of the page, forcing the fans to move through all the photos until they reached the final set of photos.
The resentment turned to silent shock once they saw the photos of these two people.
The pure white background seemed to have been cleaned and purified. There were red petals falling from the sky and in the centre of the photo, a beautiful youth raised his palm to gently catch the small thing.
He wore a long coat but his thinness made him seem like he would float out of the photo. Behind him, a man stretched out his other hand, the hem of the jacket floating gently in the photo, making it look extraordinarily quiet.
The first photo was enough to make people stunned and forget what they were doing.
Then when they reacted and clicked on the next photo, incredibly…
Yes, another couple photo!
The third photo was a couple photo, the fourth one was a couple photo, the fifth one was a couple photo, the sixth one…
There were a total of 19 photos. Kelson, who previously had the most photos, only had six photos. But these two people unexpectedly had 19 photos.
Even if it was increased because there were two people, this was still three times more than Kelson!
【 I feel that God Xi’s behaviour is really shameless but… ahhhh Ming Xiaoyu is really beautiful! God Xi is also really handsome! How can these two people fit together so well? 】
【 QAQ It is a good match for me ahhhhhh!! 】
【 Where is this place? When I saw the first photo, I was stunned and my soul went underground. The two of them are simply scattering sugar! I swear, I have never seen someone so passionate about sugar! This is going to kill a person! 】
【 The scum writer said: I have been forced to die √ 】
More and more fans noticed the photos published on Ji and Ya’s official website and madly forwarded these photos. Soon, fashion lovers all over the world saw these exquisite photos and had a preliminary view of this Ji and Ya high-end show.
However, at this time, there was a saying that was being endorsed by many people.
【 To tell the truth, I was really surprised when Xi Ze announced he was walking in the show. I am very happy. I became a fan because I liked his aura and fierce nature in the fashion shows. But previously, God Xi didn’t give a lot of food. Now that he is giving so much food, I am really worried. What does God Xi want to do? He is 26 years old this year. He might be younger than Kelson and Harriman in the industry but there are many people who have retired when they are 26 years old QAQ… 】
