The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 2077 Dizzy and Confused
How can it be!

Dior and Adidas, two major brands, have joined forces to launch the Anson co-branded series. One is a pioneer in menswear fashion, and the other is a classic sportswear brand. These two seemingly unrelated brands have joined forces through Anson, disrupting the market landscape and drawing the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

But why was Anson absent?
Everyone was stunned. Those who had been so certain that Anson would be on the Champs-Élysées in Paris began to swallow their fists, gape, and stare in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that Anson was absent. In their dizziness, the world began to collapse.

Incredibly, even with Anson absent, the Dior and Adidas collaboration still ignited the global market.

The product line is not limited edition, but long queues still form at the brand's flagship stores in cities like New York, Paris, and London, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The most outrageous was in New York, where die-hard fans lined up outside the Dior flagship store on Fifth Avenue for a full 72 hours in advance, just to buy a piece of collaborative clothing.

As it turned out, their judgment was correct. Although it wasn't a limited-edition product, the flagship store's entire inventory sold out in less than a day, once again evoking the frenzy of the "Dawn Break" launch. Because the inventory was depleted, the flagship store couldn't restock in the short term, which also meant—

Out of stock.

Following New York, the collaborative products in cities such as Paris, London, and Milan also sold out one after another. Although they were not limited editions, they were artificially transformed into limited editions due to the market frenzy. Dior and Adidas stores of all sizes around the world were emptied out, and no collaborative products could be found anymore.

This was probably something that neither Dior nor Adidas themselves had anticipated.

In the secondary market, a $79 Anson co-branded T-shirt has been resold for $8,000, and it is still difficult to find a buyer, with the hype sweeping the globe.

As summer 2005 approached the Northern Hemisphere, the raging heatwave once again demonstrated Anson's global influence.

"Is this so-called joint brand just a facade or something substantial?"

"Dior + Adidas: Is this just a successful marketing campaign?"

"Real fashion or just a gimmick? An analysis of the reasons behind the success of the Anson collaboration."

Was his absence a deliberate publicity stunt?

"Collaboration frenzy! Are people really chasing fashion, or just getting the same style as Anson?"

Major news media outlets have stepped in to discuss this unusual phenomenon in all aspects.

Originally, people thought Anson's absence from the Paris fashion show was a failure, and that Dior and Adidas might be furious. It was absurd that the star of the collaboration would dare to miss such an important moment.

But what happened next drew people into a storm, leaving them dumbfounded as they watched the events unfold, their understanding being challenged time and again.

A small group of onlookers, confused, asked, "Are those designs... really that good-looking?" Or, to be more precise, do people actually buy these products because of their designs?

Fashion magazine produced a perfectly timed feature, detailing the design philosophy behind the Dior and Adidas Anson collaboration—

Praise poured in. Anna Wintour believes that Eddie Slimane is indeed in his creative prime, bursting with inspiration. He's not just relying on the three signature moves of Dior menswear; this collaboration can be seen as Eddie's first foray into launching a womenswear line for Dior, ultimately delivering a perfect result.

This battle will undoubtedly create a new wave of excitement as fashion and sports collide, propelling cultural trends forward by leaps and bounds.

Undoubtedly, Dior is once again at the forefront of the times, while Adidas's stroke of genius has changed the fashion landscape, opening a door to a whole new world for people.

What's truly exciting is that Eddie stated the event isn't over yet, there's a second wave coming!
However, before the second wave of surprises could even arrive, the global sales frenzy had already become a spectacular sight. Rumor has it that Dior and Adidas themselves were stunned. They had hoped that the second wave of surprises would drive sales, but the products were already sold out without any follow-up activities.

So, what should we do next?
The second wave of surprises... Shall we continue? But if we continue, the store is out of stock, and if we keep promoting it, the general public won't be able to buy the products. What should we do then?
For once, Dior and Adidas found themselves in a happy dilemma.

The noise continued to surge, the sweltering heat of midsummer rising steadily and pouring down in a mighty torrent.

Pale golden sunlight streamed down through the cloudless sky, shimmering on the emerald green ocean. The world was enveloped in a halo of light, and the French Riviera once again welcomed a long-awaited frenzy of film fans, as the annual Cannes Film Festival was about to open this week.

A steady stream of movie enthusiasts and news media from all over the world poured into the small town, and hearts began to pound.

As always, the train station remains a bustling area with people coming and going, and figures dragging suitcases and carrying bags eagerly rush into this dazzling blend of gold and blue.

In the bustling, surging crowd, under a street lamp in the small square, a violinist stands there performing a street show.

Under the scorching sun and sweltering heat, which made people dizzy, he still adhered to the tradition of classical music. Dressed in a suit and shirt, he stood tall and played the strings. The melodious strings floated in the thick, humid air, and the crowds occasionally stopped to look at him but were unwilling to stop.

Such scenes are all too common in France; people have long been accustomed to them and have seen them all the time.

Across from us, a young man with a buzz cut appeared carrying a radio. He was wearing an Adidas tracksuit, the same blue-grey Adidas tracksuit favored by British and French football hooligans in the movie. It was practically a must-have for everyone, just like their uniforms. If you didn't want to get into trouble, it was best to keep your distance from afar.

He turned on the radio, which had built-in speakers, and the deafening hip-hop music instantly drowned out the violin playing. He seemed completely oblivious to the violinist's presence and began performing street hip-hop dance, doing floor moves like a juggler.

With the sound impact and the continuous head turns, pedestrians' eyes involuntarily focused on the crew-cut youth.

The violinist in the suit looked bewildered. He wasn't sure if he should leave and move on, but he couldn't swallow his pride since he had arrived there first.

Just as he was hesitating and struggling, the radio music stopped, the world became quiet again, the background music of the short-haired youth disappeared, and he also stopped. After fiddling with and checking for a while, he realized that the radio was malfunctioning. He sat down on the ground and kept touching his head, his face full of frustration.

The violinist, who was about to leave, smiled and picked up the strings again, and the melodious classical music poured down once more, surging amidst the noise of the small square.

The young man with the buzz cut suddenly looked up, glared fiercely at the violinist, and angrily stood up and rushed over.

It looks like it could explode at any moment!
