"Miss Betty, if possible, I would like to visit your school."
"Just call me Britney." She smiled.
This girl is very knowledgeable about fashion and makeup. She has a good figure, but her face is a Western wide face. A wide face is a big difference between Eastern and Western male aesthetics. Chen Xing still likes the traditional oval face or the modern pointed face.
That’s okay.
Of course, plastic surgery is excluded.
"Okay, Britney, does your school allow outsiders to visit?"
He wants to go to this Royal Swedish Academy.
The École Supérieure de Decoration in Paris, where Chen Xing studied, was also the French Royal Academy of Painting many years ago. Although it is now a national university, Chen Xing has never seen people from the royal family or government come to the school.
As a new young man who grew up under the red flag, Chen Xing was very curious about the word royal family.
She raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course. Many universities in Sweden have no external walls. The campus is integrated with the street outside the school. Many tourists who come to Sweden will visit the school. I think this should be a Swedish style of writing.
The way to prosperity?"
"A school without facades?"
"Hmm." She took a bite of smoked grilled salmon.
The taste is really good. This restaurant is considered one of the ten best restaurants in Stockholm. People who have lived here for a long time rarely come here to eat because it is too expensive. Britney, who is from Germany, is even more reluctant to part with it.
, so even though I have been studying here for several years, I have only been here two or three times.
She also introduced:
"There is a place in this city called the Pearl of Stockholm, which is the city hall. It is located on the edge of Lake Mälaren, and there are no walls blocking it. If you come here for the scenery, then I think it is better for you to visit our school.
Why not go to this place? Most places in this city hall are open to the public free of charge. Even indoors, you can buy tickets to enter."
"Thank you, is there any other place worth visiting?"
"There are so many. Swedish museums are everywhere like stars. There are also royal palaces and the Summer Palace on Queens Island, which is also where the Swedish royal family lives... Also, you will see a lot of wild animals in Swedish cities.
Squirrels, seabirds, wild ducks, etc., this is normal. They are not afraid of people, but you can't hurt them because of this."
Chen Xing knows a little about this. Like Iceland and Norway, Sweden, as one of the Nordic countries, has the same nature protection as several other countries.
When it comes to the protection of natural ecology, no country in the world can surpass Northern Europe.
Even if their protection only targets the places they can control, and it is difficult to control other big countries, this is also good. At least this is what tourists want to see when they come to Northern Europe, isn't it?
"I understand." Chen Xing said.
The two finished the meal happily, and when they left, Chen Xing added Britney on Facebook.
In Europe, you have to get used to having more social apps on your mobile phone. Their market has not yet been integrated. Unlike in China, where everything can be solved with WeChat, if you encounter the social apps they use in street photography, Chen
If there are no stars, then you can only send an email.
Except for business purposes, few Chinese people use Internet mail anymore, but foreign countries still maintain the habit of using email.
"I'll send you the photos later that night."
"You can do it at any time. The photos you took are really beautiful, just like those photos of celebrities. Thank you, Chen." Britney was even happier than Chen Xing. Such photos were posted on Facebook.
But he is very popular.
"Waiter!"
Chen Xing called someone over to pay the bill.
Good guy, three thousand six Swedish krona.
The Chinese currency is exchanged for Swedish krona, which is about one dollar for one and a half, so the dishes for this meal are about more than two thousand dollars. At this price, you can reserve a complete set meal in a large hotel in Paris. There are many ways to compare.
These four dishes are several times more abundant.
It’s really expensive...
He doesn't feel any heartache. He spends the money he earns. Anyway, no matter how he spends the money now, he can't make money as quickly as he does.
I just feel sorry for the price of Nordic things.
Amid the envious looks of the guests in the restaurant, Chen Xing and Britney walked out together.
In today's generally dark environment, a girl who can control papaya and orange is definitely the most beautiful girl in everyone's eyes. She doesn't need to see what her face looks like, as long as she notices the color, she will look over unconsciously.
.
This is the visual prominence of color.
Although Chen Xing only wears a simple set of colors, his clothes become more tasteful and temperamental the more you look at them. Coupled with his East-West face, a group of women began to envy Britney.
.
The waiter in the restaurant felt that Chen Xing's date was done.
But Chen Xing just sent her out, and then the two of them parted ways. One wanted to go back to school and the other wanted to continue shopping.
Even if the West is relatively open about sex, it is difficult to find a typical European beauty who can be invited to a hotel within an hour of knowing her, not to mention that she is a graduate student at a well-known school... Unless Chen Xing meets a fan who knows him
.
But that is another situation.
Moreover, Chen Xing does not have that kind of worldly desire now. He just arrived in Sweden today and his mind is completely on appreciating the Nordic scenery and architecture.
After Britney's reminder, Chen Xing knew that there was a commercial street about 500 meters away from this restaurant. The signboard was a big gallerian, which was easy to identify. Chen Xing walked for a while in the direction she said and saw the signboard.
.
The appearance of this commercial street is similar to that of China's Wanda, but it is not a separate building, but in the middle of the street. Only two sides face the street outside. The glass windows on the first floor
It is very translucent, and the models inside are wearing Nordic fashion.
What are the Nordic characteristics of fashion in this season?
It's a down jacket.
The dry and cold environment in Northern Europe is particularly suitable for wearing down jackets. Just like Northeast China, as long as the down jacket is worn well, you will not feel wet or cold inside.
This kind of warm happiness in winter is something that southwestern boys like Chen Xing cannot experience.
When it comes to cold, it must be colder in places like northern China or Northern Europe. The low temperature in the south is only about zero degrees. But even people from Harbin will feel uncomfortable in winter when they go to Chengdu. This is no joke. This is all
Really.
Having said that, Chen Xing also went to the shopping street to buy some thicker clothes.
It was too troublesome to bring a down jacket in the suitcase, so Chen Xing only brought this coat. He bought a few and hung them in the hotel wardrobe so he could change them.
Walking into the gallerian, the temperature inside suddenly rose a little.
There are many clothing brands on the first floor, and there are restaurants upstairs, because he smelled a little bit of barbecue, and there were people coming down with ice cream.
He wanted to go upstairs, but then he saw a very familiar brand.
marcpolo?
Chen Xing has worked with this company before. During Paris Fashion Week, they brought many teams to France for promotion. Chen Xing also met a Swedish female model, I think her name is Esse Gestavosson?<
/p>
We haven’t contacted each other for several months. Chen Xing almost forgot this person’s name. When he has time, he will see if he can ask her to be his tour guide and let her take him around.
She is also very young. She was born in 2001, one year older than Chen Xing, but she is already a world-class model, which is really amazing.
If it were Chen Xing who had no system, he would probably still be studying hard in college.
What's the use of being handsome without talent? He didn't know that he had talent in photography at the time, and even if he knew, he couldn't afford to buy a camera.
Chen Xing feels that Guangzhou Restaurant has played a big role in reaching this point. Otherwise, his photography skills would be useless without a camera.
Maybe everything will change after that, and I won’t enter Paris high fashion.
Go back there and check out another store?
Chen Xing was thinking about these miscellaneous things and walked into marcpolo.
This is a Swedish high-end fashion brand. With its simple styles, high-quality fabrics, and neat silhouettes, it has quickly become a new favorite in the international market. I heard that it was very popular in Paris last winter, and its sales outnumbered some established brands.
Fashion brands can’t hold their heads high.
This store is huge, but there aren’t many places to actually store clothes. There are more sculptures, decorations, etc.
Swedish clothing stores seem to like to put sculptures in their stores. Some of the stores on the street also had them. At first he thought they were mannequins, but after seeing more, he realized that they like to put everything in their stores, but the prerequisite is that they like to put sculptures in their stores.
At least it looks harmonious.
Just like in this store, the bright modern design and sporty decoration, combined with a running athlete model, seem to complement each other.
"What style of clothes should the guest choose?"
"I'll just take a look first."
"Okay."
The store is air-conditioned and not cold. The waiter looked particularly energetic in a pink shirt and short skirt.
Chen Xing took a few glances, admired the taste of the store's selection of people, and then paid attention to these clothes. It's not necessarily just down jackets. If you like them, you can buy more. In the worst case, you can find logistics to transport them back when you leave.
At home, it’s all trivial.
"Can I try it on?"
"Okay."
Chen Xing thought of how he accidentally saw Britney just now, hesitated, and chose a set of clothes with bright colors.
It's a bit too conspicuous...
Blue sky and royal blue.
The blue sky color is a lighter blue, which is the same as the color of the sky under normal circumstances. The royal blue color is much darker, and is a deeper blue than the ordinary blue seen on the computer. Some convenience stores like to use this color.
Plant blue to create your own signature.
Because it is conspicuous.
A royal blue shirt, sky blue slacks and a hat. This combination made Chen Xing completely return to the handsomeness and vitality he should have at his age... It was just a bit cold to go out wearing it, so he took another sky blue one.
color, a jacket with the same color as the pants.
Such a suit of clothes is very handsome, but it depends on the person.
You need to look paler.
Fortunately, Chen Xing has not been out in the sun recently, and her skin is quite white now. After putting on such a set of clothes, the shopping guide who accompanied her was dumbfounded, and took him to another area to buy winter clothes.
, and also asked Chen Xing in a low voice if he was an international student, where he was studying, etc.
As soon as he arrived here, Chen Xing was shocked by a picture on the wall.
I haven’t seen this photo in almost a year. I didn’t expect that our first encounter would be in Sweden after our last separation?
This is a photo on the wall. If someone passes by on the street and looks inside the shop, he or she will be able to see this photo through the glass that is so clean and unique. When enlarged, it is beautiful and clear, and the blue color is
The sky, the white snow, and a group of people walking towards the top of the snow mountain.
Yes...
You read that right, this is Chen Xing’s snowy mountain series that won the Best Story Award at the French Winter Photography Festival.
Isn’t this a coincidence?
Chen Xing was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. He felt a sense of pride brewing in his heart, because this brand is a high-end clothing brand in Northern Europe. It is not an ordinary brand store of small Nordic designers. His own works can appear in it.
It is indeed a matter of pride to be here.
But he also wanted to ask...Have you paid royalties?
Well, it’s none of Chen Xing’s business anyway.
Chen Xing was too young and not well-known when he took this work. This photo was given to the Paris Art Association for free, which took good care of him at the time. So now, no matter what he wants to do with this work, he will benefit from it.
They are all from the Paris Art Association.
It’s just that the photographer cannot change.
Alas, what a pity.
I don’t know how many rights to use this work they sold. After I go back, I have to have a good chat with President Zhou and at least treat myself to a few meals.
The shopping guide girl saw Chen Xing's eyes widening as she looked at the photo. She smiled and explained:
"This is a work taken by Chen, a photographer from China, in their country. You can tell from the people in the photo. Our boss said that the snow mountain series taken by this photographer has a vigorous and upward force of action.
, and at the same time, it can also make people feel the coldness from the snow-capped mountains, so I put it here. Many customers who come to our store like it very much."
At this point, she suddenly realized that Chen Xing was an Asian. Although he spoke English well, he might not be Chinese, so she asked curiously: "Are you Chinese?"
"Yes."
"Look at you, do you know this photographer?"
"Knowing..."
Not only do I know him, but you also know him. You just wanted to add him as a friend.
"That's so envious of you. I also want to have a photographer friend, so that he can take a lot of photos for me. Hehe, I heard that our boss respects this photographer very much. Maybe he will be hired sometime.
Come to Sweden to attend our press conference."
"Really?"
"I heard it through the gossip too. Well, guest, what do you think of this dress?"
After chatting for a long time, we finally got back to the topic.
If you want to rank the top industries in Northern Europe, the winter clothing industry must be one of them, especially Nordic down jackets.
Although it is expensive, the quality is definitely excellent.
Chen Xing bought two pieces, and also bought other things. The total price of the six fashion items exceeded 100,000 Swedish kronor, and he almost spent all the exchanged kronor in just one day.
No wonder people who travel are the most willing to spend money.
Chen Xing may not need so much money at home for several months.
