Chapter 603: Chapter 600: Mask (2)
The fashion show typically hires professional models. Female models might be okay, they could look too thin for the sake of looking good in clothes. But male models, every one of them has a robust and well-proportioned physique. What’s more, model agencies are now employing a part of Europe and America models—the advantage of white people’s height, with their broad shoulders and long legs, they exude sexual tension thoroughly.
This time, in addition to “masquerade,” the remaining elements have a tinge of primal wildness. For example, both male and female models would paint some oil colors on their bodies, and some garments and hair accessories would be decorated with feathers. Some trims would also make use of fur.
In the name of environmental protection, these feathers and furs would also be labeled artificial or bred for specific use.
Many male and female models wear half masks, like ones that only cover the eyes, or that cover either the left or right side. The remaining blank areas are perfect for painting on the oil colors. However, only that male model with bronze skin wore a mask that covered his entire face, and it also featured a fearsome green face with fangs, which looked particularly intimidating.
Those who come to watch the fashion show are generally quite proper, and many supermodels can’t be said to be very beautiful or handsome, they can only be described as having a good figure and being tall. Some supermodels don’t even associate with “pretty,” especially East Asian models, who in the traditional aesthetics of many white people, have big faces and small eyes—if you’re forced to compliment, you could only say “sophisticated beauty” or “has charisma.” The aesthetics of white people also influenced the fashion industry, especially models, so many domestic female models also choose the so-called “cold and sophisticated beauty.”
But male models are different. The aesthetics for men are universal, with high nasal bridges and deep-set eyes. Plus, the standards for men and women are different. A woman has to be very beautiful to be praised as good-looking, but for a man, just being tall and lean, and clean is enough to surpass seventy percent of other men, not to mention models know how to dress themselves.
But among these male models, that bronze-skinned male model stood out even more.
Even though his face was not visible at all, his physique was simply too good, with not a single superfluous or excessive line, making people believe that his face, hidden behind the mask, must be stunningly handsome.
Many women sitting below and watching the show looked on with appreciation, and Xia Siyu even more so. She never hid her interest in admiring handsome men, she’s a true aficionado of good looks. Although there are quite a few handsome guys in the entertainment industry, there are not many with such fiery and tall figures, so of course, she needed to take the time to appreciate them thoroughly.
With handsome guys around, she had even less interest in making small talk with Shang Feifei, her eyes constantly fixed on the gorgeous men on stage. Especially that bronze-skinned male model, who attracted all her attention.
First, there were trench coats, and the handsome guys looked pretty stylish in them. Then came some slightly more form-fitting clothes like sweatshirts, T-shirts, and trousers.
Finally, to everyone’s surprise, there was even an underwear show.
The underwear show wasn’t as flashy and flamboyant as Victoria’s Secret, of course, and many of the designs were closer to concept pieces that regular people wouldn’t really wear outside.
Since the themes were “masquerade” and “wild,” many parts also reflected these elements, with furry edges, leopard prints, crocodile skin materials, and patterns resembling primitive totem worship.
But that’s not the point!
The point is the person wearing the clothes!
And, allegedly, during the fashion show, audience members would be randomly invited to join them on stage for a turn, as part of the proceedings.
Isn’t this similar to being asked to dance?
