The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1803 Incomparable
Anson, Anson, and Anson again.

Wave after wave, one surge after another, endlessly and layer upon layer, the global cultural world of 2004 was like a giant vortex, with energy continuously gathering, growing and rising, and the fervor surrounding Anson escalating, truly unfolding an unprecedented world.

Over the course of a century, people have witnessed countless events: superstars, trends, and dazzling brilliance. Every era has its own legend.

However, everything seemed insignificant in front of Anson, permeating every aspect of daily life.

Unique and incomparable.

From "Spider-Man 2" to "Dawn of the Sun," the whole world is running at high speed, making you dizzy, short of breath, and even to the point of losing consciousness.

Then, it tears open a small opening and invades the daily lives of millions of ordinary people without exception.

Dior flagship store in London, 160-162 New Bond Street.

Emily-Joslin noticed an unusual atmosphere in the store this morning, with more customers than usual.

It wasn't a holiday or a weekend, but customers still kept coming and going.

If it were just that, there wouldn't be anything to be surprised about; such situations do occur occasionally. But the problem is that there are a lot of young people involved.

This is the Dior menswear floor, and you can still see many women, mostly young women; or couples, with women holding their boyfriends' hands; and some young men who pretend not to care but are secretly looking around, wandering through the crowd and browsing the clothes.

This scenario was quite unexpected.

However, Emily still maintained her polite distance. If the customer did not request it, she would leave as much space as possible, giving them room to breathe, and simply stand nearby at a distance, ensuring that the customer would notice her presence when needed and be ready to ask for help at any time.

Finally, a girl looked up and surveyed her surroundings. When her gaze met Emily's, she smiled, her brows relaxing.

It was like seeing a savior.

The girl, holding her boyfriend's hand, walked towards Emily. Emily gave her an encouraging look, smiled, and patiently waited for the question.

The girl asked, "Excuse me, is the Anson shirt currently out of stock?"

Emily was taken aback. Her professional stance, which had been ready to offer help, froze. She managed a weak smile and said, "Excuse me, could you please repeat that?"

The girl didn't mind, "We've been looking for Anson's shirt for a long time, and we haven't seen it anywhere in the whole store..."

Emily finally confirmed that she hadn't misheard and cautiously replied, "I'm sorry, we don't have Anson's shirts. If you mean the white shirt that Anson used to endorse, it's been completely discontinued and we really don't have any left in stock."

The girl waved her hands repeatedly, "No, not that one, I mean the one Anson wore at the airport this time."

Before Emily could speak, three or four girls nearby chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're looking for that one too. Is the store out of stock?"

Emily looked troubled. "The airport?"

The girl chattered on and on, saying, "It's the one with a sunflower on the left breast."

"Isn't this a new Dior model?"

"Could it be another brand? When did Anson collaborate with other brands?"

“Burberry?” “No, no, no, that style and cut, it’s definitely Dior. Did you notice the waistline? It fits perfectly and is tailored to fit perfectly. It was designed by Eddie Slimane specifically for Anson.”

"But we can't find it here."

A group of strangers completely ignored Emily and started talking animatedly among themselves.

After much effort, Emily finally understood what had happened. Although she couldn't believe her ears, the facts were undeniable, and she had no choice but to explain.

No.

Dior has not released any collaborations yet, let alone a collaboration with Anson, and the styles they mentioned are not in this season's catalog.

The group of young people all sighed with regret, beat their chests and stomped their feet, their sense of defeat palpable even without a word.

Realizing this, Emily went along with it and introduced several of the costumes Anson had worn at the "Spider-Man 2" premiere and promotional period, trying to avoid disappointing the customers before escorting them away.

As soon as Emily turned around, she was surrounded by her colleagues, who asked what was going on. "I've been asked this more than once or twice today. How come I didn't know that Anson had become the spokesperson again? Our outside ads haven't been updated."

Emily gave a wry smile and told everyone what she knew. Everyone else was stunned. "Wait, you mean it's all because Anson wore that shirt at the airport?"

"……That's it?"

"That's it?"

Emily nodded slightly, both amused and exasperated. "That's it."

Everyone was amazed.

Working in the fashion industry, they know the appeal of fashion icons. Iconic supermodels like Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen have a real trend-setting effect with the clothes they wear in magazines, fashion shows, and celebrity events. Shop assistants, designers, and other professionals in the fashion industry all buy these clothes as a symbol of keeping up with the trend and showing their taste.

However, to be fair, in 2004, the connection between fashion influence and actors and singers was only just beginning. Jennifer Aniston is one example, and Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, and others were also leading the trends.

However, it did not achieve full coverage.

As for menswear? It remains a barren wasteland.

In the past two years, Anson Wood's sudden emergence has indeed demonstrated a new level of influence in the fashion industry. Thanks to Anson, Dior has already tasted the joy of explosive sales growth and has repeatedly become a topic of discussion. However, the extent and depth of this influence still need to be tested by time.

Is it all just marketing hype, a fleeting frenzy, or a truly deeply ingrained trendsetter, a reference point that permeates daily life, and even a pioneer that may have a series of impacts on the future direction of fashion?
These questions still need to be addressed.

just now!

The fact that a shirt Anson wore at the airport could generate such a clear and direct buzz in brand stores, and that it wasn't just inquiries from fashion industry insiders, but also the general public's eagerness and enthusiasm for buying, is undoubtedly unprecedented and truly astounding.

incredible!

As employees of brand stores, they are at the forefront and the grassroots level. They often cannot see the trends at the top of the fashion pyramid, but they can feel the changes in aesthetics and the focus of attention from ordinary people. The shock and impact they feel are often powerful.

Amidst her astonishment, Emily vaguely sensed something but couldn't be entirely certain; it seemed they were witnessing some important event.
