Chapter 51 051 Despised

Hugo is serious.

In the early 1990s, men's suits paid more attention to fabric and overall feel. Even the most traditional custom suits, tailored to each man's situation, also left some space for the clothes, rather than being tailored, because this This is the fashion trend of the time. If you come here wearing a suit that focuses on body lines in 2014, it is estimated that a group of people will say that they are old-fashioned and do not understand the trend.

In fact, it’s not just suits. Clothes in the 21st century are all about fit – not tight fitting. They cover up the shortcomings of the figure, highlight the advantages, and boldly and directly present the beauty of the body lines, including T-shirts, shirts, jeans, jackets, etc. It's all like that.

So, when Hugo put on this suit, he really felt as if he had a bucket on him, which reminded people of what a child looked like when he secretly wore his father's suit, with thick shoulder pads, a straight waistline, and a loose fit. The hem is really unbearable.

"It's definitely not like this." After being shocked by Hugo's words, the clerk hurried forward to explain, she gestured to Hugo slightly, and then measured Hugo's broad shoulders with both hands, "Look, here The line is very close, completely showing your shoulder line. Of course, if you don't like it, you can reduce the shoulder pads." Nowadays, suits must have shoulder pads, and that kind of youthful shoulderless casual suits are not enough. Popularity, people are more willing to choose a jacket or leather than a shoulderless suit.

Then the clerk smoothed it down along the line of Hugo's back, "If you button up the buttons at the shoulder line, the waistline will be visible, and the shape of the inverted triangle will be revealed." There are actually suits now. The design of the waistline, especially the French version, always has an endless pursuit of the waistline, but because the hem is too long, the waistline is not prominent, and it always looks a bit bloated.

Hugo watched the clerk explain in detail there, and raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that his aesthetic point of view was still out of tune with this place, but what else could he do? It's 1992 and that's the way it is here, he has to get used to it. But Hugo has always firmly believed in one sentence: clothes are dead, people are alive. The same piece of clothing can show different styles on different people. In fact, this is the truth.

Hugo felt that the suit on his body was still a little bloated, and the effect of wearing it was not satisfactory, so he looked away from the full-length mirror in front of him, and then continued to walk inside Armani's store, he thought See if there are other styles available.

Although men's suits look similar on the surface, in fact, suits are very particular styles. A suit has countless attention to detail from the shoulder line to the collar, from the sleeves to the buttons, from the shape to the material. Changes can make the suit reflect different sophistication through details. Especially custom suits are more demanding.

Hugo just looked at it with his eyes, and it was actually difficult to tell the difference, but he mainly started to look at the cutting from the shoulder line to the waist line and then to the hem, hoping to find a more satisfactory version.

After a while, Hugo saw a black suit on the far right on the hanger. It was also black, but the tailoring of this suit was obviously better. The shoulder line is more retro, with the style of the 1920s, the three-button design is a bit too formal, but the width of the waistline has been significantly reduced, and the hem has a beautiful arc, you can imagine, The effect should be very good after wearing it, reminding Hugo of Leonardo's look in "The Great. Gatsby" released in 2013.

"I want to try this set." Hugo looked back at the clerk and said with a smile.

Joseph also followed behind Hugo at this time, and when he saw the suit, he took the clothes off the shelf, looked up and down, and finally shook his head, "I don't see any difference." Joseph is indeed a bit slow in this regard.

In fact, Hugo doesn't know much, he just chooses based on his long-term aesthetics and intuition, "I don't know what the difference is, anyway, I'll know if I wear it and try it out." Hugo laughed and said to the clerk. When he said, "Isn't this the same design as the clothes on my body?" If so, it would be embarrassing.

The expression on the clerk's face was a little hesitant, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was stiff, as if there was something to hide, but she still explained seriously, "No, these two sets are not the same design. The lines and hem will be cut a bit more rounded, and this set is a three-piece set with a vest inside, so the overall retro effect will be more prominent. But…”

Hugo didn't hear the clerk's "but", so he turned to Joseph and said, "Would it be too exaggerated to wear a three-piece suit at the premiere?" Generally speaking, three pieces are used for award ceremonies. A set is more appropriate, it's just the premiere, and it's not the premiere of Hugo's own work, it seems a bit of a fuss.

Joseph didn't think too much, "You try it first, and then you can see the effect." Anyway, today is all about making soft investments. If the effect is really good, then even if it's not for the premiere, it's for the future. Some formal occasions for audition or meeting high-level people also need to purchase some formal clothes.

"Sir, sir..." The clerk tried to interrupt Joseph and Hugo's conversation with a polite voice, and finally she attracted the attention of both of them, but the embarrassed expression on her face became more and more obvious, "Sir, this is The suit is out of stock."

"Then this set I have...?" Hugo thought this kind of thing was too absurd. All the clothes in the Armani store were sold out? Such a thing can be said to be unbelievable. If a set of clothes is sold out of code, then Armani will definitely put this style of clothes away and prepare for the seasonal promotion at that time. But now it's only halfway through March, there is still a long time before summer, and spring has just begun, so the clerk actually said that the clothes are out of stock, which is naturally unbelievable.

Joseph, who was standing beside him, was also puzzled. He looked at the clerk, who was immediately embarrassed. The last set in the store now does not have your size for the time being." The clerk considered for a long time, and finally chose this way to answer.

The situation here was naturally reported immediately, and the person in charge of the Armani branch walked over immediately, "Good afternoon, gentlemen, I'm Frank Garner, is there anything I can do for you?" This man named Frank is obviously more than one level higher than the clerk just now. The warm smile on his face is very kind, but it does not make people feel that he is deliberately trying to get involved, and his eyes are sincere and clasped hands. He and the slightly forward leaning body both showed their sincerity, and it was easy to dispel the feeling of rejection by others.

"I wanted to try this outfit, but I was told that it was out of stock." Hugo felt a little disillusioned. He happily went out to shop, but had to make trouble. This was unnecessary. In fact, Hugo didn't have to use this suit, but the clerk's reason was so absurd that he felt unacceptable. Therefore, in the face of Frank's smile, Hugo was not aggressive, but calmly stated the facts and expressed his helplessness, that's all.

Frank stretched out his hands and cast an inquiring look, Hugo handed over the clothes in his hand, Frank opened the label of the clothes and looked at them, then nodded slightly, "Mr. Lancaster , the thing is this, this suit is our new product for spring, and naturally it is still in stock."

This sentence immediately caused Hugo and Joseph to look at the clerk at the same time. Hugo was fine, but he wondered why the clerk suddenly wanted to lie, but Joseph's sharp eyes made the clerk move away in panic. eyes.

"But we won't be selling this suit again today." Although Frank's words were polite and deeply apologetic, the content of this sentence still caused both Hugo and Joseph to cast their eyes in surprise. , "Because this suit has been reserved by Mr. Richard Gere, he will wear it to the premiere of the movie. In order to avoid the situation of bumping shirts, we will not sell this suit for the time being. If you are really satisfied, go to the next We can deliver it to your door on Monday."

Hugo and Joseph looked at each other. This is actually a special service customized by top brands for stars, mainly to show the uniqueness of the artists. It stands to reason that after Richard Gere settled on the suit, the clerk should put the suit away and hang it up after the premiere, but today I don't know which part went wrong, and the suit is still It was left on the shelf, and Hugo took a fancy to it, which is why the current situation has emerged.

"Uh... can't even try it?" Joseph coughed slightly and asked politely. He didn't want Hugo and Richard to bump into shirts at the premiere, it would be bad, but he still felt a little embarrassed, so he asked, and got an embarrassed smile from Frank, Joseph hesitated, and then said, "I think this suit will work better on Hugo, why can't Hugo wear this suit to the premiere?"

"We still trust Richard more." Frank still had a polite smile on his face, but this smile seemed a bit ironic at this time, as if to say: what kind of onion are you Hugo Lancaster, how is it possible Compared to Richard Gere? Even if you are a clothes hanger and look good in clothes, in real life, the skin is not the most important thing. Compared with Richard, Hugo is not a little bit inferior.

Before Joseph could respond, Frank continued, "Please cooperate with our work. Here, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you." A little better.

Apparently, Hugo was despised along with Joseph.
