Seeing that Cui Anni seed genuinely angry, Zhang Xing's pretty face looked troubled. She kept making eye signals to Ye Feng!
She knew Cui Anni's character well: nearly all of Hong Kong's top stars and socialites would have Cui Anni design their clothes, especially since Cui Anni was quite proud and could not tolerate the slightest criticism!
And now, with Ye Feng openly questioning her most perfect creation in public, it was bound to provoke a strong aversion from Cui Anni!
Besides, even Zhang Xing herself felt that the evening gown designed by Cui Anni was flawless and could not understand why Ye Feng would still have sothing to criticize!
Guan Zhiyi looked at the evening gown on Zhang Xing and her expression revealed intense jealousy. She knew that if Xing wore this gown to the station's anniversary celebration, she would certainly steal the show!
"Annie, everyone knows the level of your design skills. You don't have to pay attention to the words of a country bumpkin! After all, in his eyes, he probably has never seen such attractive designer fashion in his life!"
Guan Zhiyi wanted to ingratiate herself with Cui Anni in the hopes that the designer would also create a perfect evening gown for her. At this mont, her words were full of praise for Cui Anni but aid to belittle Ye Feng!
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth quirked up slightly as he said to Cui Anni,
"Your evening gown is a beautiful combination of Eastern totem and the art of the cheongsam, but haven't you noticed sothing unnatural about this Phoenix Pattern?"
As he spoke, Ye Feng walked up to Zhang Xing and lightly traced a line across the area of her lower abdon:
"The Phoenix is the king of all birds, symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth, and implies prosperity! However, the Phoenix Nirvana Diagram represents rebirth. Your design of the Phoenix Nirvana Diagram shows only vibrancy but lacks a sense of rebirth!"
"Rebirth?"
Cui Anni's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a flicker of thought passed through her eyes:
"So what do you suggest should be done to reflect the sense of rebirth in this pattern design?"
Ye Feng's words had caught the attention of not only Cui Anni but also sparked consideration from Zhang Xing and the others. Indeed, the Phoenix Nirvana Diagram was imbued with the aning of rebirth. If it only conveyed auspiciousness and prosperity, it lacked depth in its artistic conception.
At that mont, everyone looked toward Ye Feng, seemingly waiting for his answer.
Ye Feng smiled faintly:
"It's very simple! When you already have the phoenix body, why do you need another phoenix head?"
Huh?
Ye Feng's words made everyone frown, clearly not understanding the aning behind his words. However, upon hearing this, Cui Anni's brows furrowed, and then she fell into thought while looking at the pattern on Zhang Xing's gown:
"Are you saying to remove the phoenix head from this evening gown? Wouldn't that just turn it into a headless blazing phoenix?"
As soon as this was said, the surrounding stars and socialites burst into an uproar!
Such a perfect evening gown, if stripped of its phoenix head, would beco nothing but a defective piece, not only ugly but also without any value!
How could this guy think of such a thing!
At this mont, the vast majority of people there thought that Ye Feng was making trouble out of nothing, not understanding beauty, nor art!
"Annie, don't listen to this guy! If you turn such a beautiful Phoenix Pattern into a headless blazing phoenix, how ugly would that be!"
"Exactly! This guy has no clue about fashion design, don't listen to him!"
"It's really laughable. Does this guy understand at all what 'art' ans?"
"..."
The scorn was evident in these socialites' words, while Guan Zhiyi reveled in the situation. She really wished Cui Anni would listen to Ye Feng and change the evening gown, transforming it into that hideous pattern of a headless blazing phoenix!
"No!"
Ye Feng snapped his fingers and then slowly brushed over Zhang Xing's jaw:
"This dress is just an adornnt, but the real Phoenix Head is Xing herself!"
Ye Feng didn't stop there, his hand gently slid down from Zhang Xing's cheek, wandering towards her snow-white neck, and pointed:
"This is the Phoenix Neck!"
After that, Ye Feng pointed to Zhang Xing's willow-like abdon and said:
"This is the Phoenix Body!"
Ye Feng, regardless of the onlookers' stares, looked at Cui Anni and said:
"Whether a fashion design is perfect doesn't depend on the piece itself! It's about whether the design can perfectly present the beauty of the person wearing it! A red flower needs green leaves as a backdrop, where the green leaves are the clothes, and the red flower is the person wearing them!"
Ye Feng's words rang in Cui Anni's ears like a giant bell, causing her beautiful eyes to shine brighter and brighter:
"That's right! The very essence of fashion is to highlight a person's beauty! I've been pursuing the garnt itself too much, neglecting its true nature!"
In that mont, Cui Anni felt as though she'd been enlightened, and her view of the evening gown changed:
"Phoenix Nirvana... rebirth..."
Cui Anni kept musing, but as she did, her beautiful eyes sparkled brighter, as if she had stumbled upon a wonderful idea, vibrant with excitent:
"Exactly! This dress is indeed missing an elent of rebirth! Let's change it now!"
What?
When they saw Cui Anni actually about to alter her own design, the rest of the socialites were all sowhat taken aback!
Everyone should know that Cui Anni is the most famous fashion designer in Hong Kong, so how could she casually listen to so crass, uncouth guy!
Everyone was utterly baffled, looking back at the evening gown with a sense of regret filling their eyes!
Not only them, even Zhang Xing felt extrely regretful, but seeing that Cui Anni had made up her mind, she imdiately returned to the fitting room to take off the evening gown!
Cui Anni had clearly reached a level of obsession with fashion design, quickly drafting a modification plan on a piece of paper, which she then handed over to the staff!
Seeing this scene, Guan Zhiyi at the side couldn't help but reveal a bright smile:
She didn't believe a word of Ye Feng's nonsense; to her, making a perfect evening gown even better seed next to impossible!
Especially turning the Phoenix Pattern into a headless fire phoenix was absurd to the extre!
However, the uglier this evening gown beca, the more it played into Guan Zhiyi's hand, at least she was confident she would outshine Zhang Xing at the party!
While these people were each harboring their own thoughts, an elderly man slowly walked into the shop from outside!
"Eh? What is everyone doing here?" The elder looked around at all the socialites gathered in the lobby, slightly startled and confused, he asked.
Seeing the elder, respect painted every socialite's face, especially Cui Anni who was visibly overjoyed:
"Grandfather, you're here!"
