Although Paris held a fashion week during the National Day, if you want to talk about the most fashionable place in September, it must be Anaya.
Two shows in a row within a week. First, Louis Vuitton invited Anaya designer Dong Gong team to create a temporary show "Sand Paradise", and spent a lot of money to create momentum in self-media, inviting the most popular traffic students, showing the "racefulness" of the big group.
▲"Sand Paradise" is a limited-time attraction for the LV show. It will be demolished immediately after the show, which means "burn after reading".
: Anaya, the name that looks like Mediterranean , is actually a place name of our Qinhuangdao , Sanskrit " Silent place in the world, find the place of my own ".
Anaya began to derive from a lonely library to the entire community. ▲Lonely Library.
When Dong Gong, an architectural designer, created Anaya, was inspired by Andrew Wyeth's paintings, the waves and sea breeze... Let time solidify into an eternal, as if saying that people will sharpen a timeless spiritual background in silence. ▲Andrew Wyeth's painting, Sea Running (left) Wind from the Sea (right) In Dong Gong's words, "Everyth's things in the picture are solidified, showing the distance between people and society, with a nearly eternal temporality."
The fashion industry particularly prefers this kind of place that is not known to so many people but looks very story-oriented and artistic. Compared to LV, I think Anaya's second pink show from Valentino this year is more interesting.
Because Valentino painted the entire town in pink to hold the show. And it is not ordinary pink, but a pink color agency Pantone exclusively developed for Valentino, called "Pink PP".
I don’t know if it is because of the weak sales during the epidemic, or whether it has been too long since the designer Pierpaolo Piccioli was launched by Valentino.
Since early 2022, Valentino has suddenly abandoned Valentino Red, which has been promoted for decades, and has hyped up this new Pink PP, viral and subversive sweeping the fashion and entertainment industry. ▲From the first "Fiesta" little red skirt in 1959 to the appearance of Pink PP, red has always been the symbol of Valentino's family. In the words of Mr. Valentino, red skirts are not only an expression, but also a synonym for fashion. Does it sound very familiar? It catches a conspicuous and prominent color and promotes it. This trick is not young for Valentino.
To be honest, every time Valentino Pink PP appears and wears a certain star (especially Asian star), it is basically a frightening flick.
After all, in the aesthetics of most Chinese people, high saturation pink itself is a hellish challenge. If its outline and aura are not strong enough, it is quite easy to fall into the vulgar style. ▲ Lee Jong Suk Valentino Korean show picture. ▲Valentino Pink Sister Lang Live.
In fact, Valentino's Pink PP powder is a new type of black .
Valentino works with the artist to print short sentences from writer and visual artist Douglas Coupland on the pink props on the show. So you can see such slogans everywhere at the Anaya show:
BEAUTY HAS KIND OF BECOME AN ACT OF REBELLION. (Beauty is a kind of rebellious behavior.)
▲Douglas Coupland's concept, pink can become the key to escape from the cage.
This sounds very intimidating. From a fashionable perspective, Pierpaolo Piccioli wants to transform the gentle, well-behaved and girlish pink into black with rock rebellious spirit.
is a bit simpler. Just use and as All Black .
, so Pink PP needs to be placed on a black background to shoot to the correct solution.
The weathered and charming woman with the charm of time can also wear the majestic momentum of Pink PP "Pink means New Black". ▲ Michelle Yeoh Wearing Pink PP to enter Town Country Magazine. The magazine editor cleverly adjusted the mirror and carpet to a dark black to highlight the pink long skirt.The details of beaded on the clothes also reflect the golden reliefs in the background, and pink can also become a kind of atmosphere.
This may also explain why there are so many young people wearing Valentino pinks, only Sammi Cheng wears this pink essence? The secret of
is probably no one can cross it, age.
She interpreted the other side of Valentino pink - independent , personality , rebellious and pioneer . These traits were originally used by fashionists to describe black . Ms. Sammi Cheng, who has never been up and down in the fashion circle, is so beautiful this year that she is too eye-catching. In addition to the appearance of the Valentino Pink PP launch conference in September, Ms. Mi will basically be in the fashion industry in the second half of this year. ▲June concert in Ralph Lauren. ▲"Not" June 2022 issue. ▲"VOGUE"HK in Gucci. ▲ Soho House in Chanel. ▲ PurplePearl September issue. ▲ Madame Figaro HK in Versace and Schiaparelli. ▲ Balenciaga SS 2023 Show. 0-year-old Mi entered a new state of freedom and carefreeness. In the words of Jolin Tsai , "I am feel damn good at this age." ▲ The passing ants must shout "What awesome".
Among so many sets of Looks, if you want to tell which set has the strongest sense of origin with Sammi Cheng, it is probably Valentino's Pink PP, which is so powerful that he has to relax his eyes after looking at it for a long time.
Sammi Cheng has a song called "Valentino", which is included in the album "Great Revenge" released in 1993.
What's more coincidental is that she also has an album called "Shocking Pink", which was released in 2001, when Sammi Cheng's career was at its peak. 996-2003 was the golden seven years of Sammi Cheng's career. The sales of record in Asia exceeded 10 million, ranking first-time female singer of the year in Hong Kong for several years.
In the past seven years, in 2001, she starred in three of the top ten movies of the year. In the same year, she also released seven albums in one go, and "Shocking Pink" is one of them. ▲The album cover of "Shocking Pink" that witnessed the peak of Mi's life.
"Shocking Pink" is written by Huang Weiwen . In 2019, Sammi wore a pink dress to commemorate the friendship between the two. ▲Mi at Huang Weiwen's birthday party, the pink jacket comes from the brand House of Holland (left) Two pink eyeliners on the eyes to commemorate the "eye-stricken" eyeliners on the album "Shocking Pink" (right).
Friends who are familiar with fashion history will find that "Shocking Pink" is actually the personal logo color of fashion master Ms. Schiaparelli.
The lady is the archenemy of Chanel 's career, and the two above are also one of the few pioneer women who could have the right to speak in the fashion industry in the early 1920s.
Shocking Pink is translated as fluorescent pink in Chinese, which will give people the stereotype of girly Barbie powder , but in the fashion industry, it has always been the legendary color of .
My friend Leng Daxia likes to say Shocking Pink as " is so shocking and shocking ". ▲Schiaparelli The rose skirt on the 2019 autumn haute couture was named Shocking Pink (left) Shocking Pink on the cover of Ms. Schiaparelli’s autobiography (right).
is also interesting. When she was the most popular, her background was not the bright red with high public acceptance, nor the black with stronger rebelliousness, but the "shocking pink".
At the same time, pink also witnessed many important moments in Sammi Cheng's life, both highlights and troughs.
In 2019, after Sammi's lifelong companion broke out with the incident of "Stealing Food with peace of mind", Sammi Cheng did not express any opinions to the outside world, but just changed into a pink long skirt and sang " Lifetime Beauty " at the subsequent concert.
"Lifelong Beauty" is also the most popular song in the album "Shocking Pink". Sammi Cheng has sung this song no less than 300 times so far.
Sammi Cheng said in an interview with Lu Yu in 2007 that she would not say another word to the outside world in the future, because this is the most private softness in her heart.So in the face of the turbulent public opinion in the outside world, Sammi has been responding in pink - that is, it is so gorgeous and dazzling, but it never shows the fragility in her heart. ▲After the "Stealing Food" incident in 2019, at the Sammi Hong Kong Red Hall concert, Mi sang the first song "Lifelong Beauty" and suddenly went from a white wedding dress in the middle of the process. She changed into a pink fishtail dress within one minute before singing the complete song. It seems that in a pink, you can find inner peace and freedom better. ▲There is also an unused costume for the concert. If you look carefully at the two crystals on your chest, you will also be pink. Mi posted an IG saying that Thomas Chan's design is "heavy flavor", which can be said to be bold, exaggerated, rebellious and avant-garde.
When talking about women in the past, pink is often labeled as an image that is too gentle and fragile and needs attention.
But in Sammi Cheng's life, pink instead gathers into an extremely stubborn, extremely tough and extremely strong energy, called "Lifetime Beauty" .
This energy has always accompanied her on the road to find a balance between her true self and public scrutiny. ▲Similar Cheng amazed me twice this year, one was the Valentino Hong Kong show, and the other was Mi showing off her good figure on a social platform on the eve of her birthday this year. I told my friend at that time that this was the figure and condition I wanted to have when I was 50 years old.
Sammi Cheng is called "Miss Eight-Kilometres" and runs every day for eight kilometers, which is naturally difficult for ordinary people to do. But putting aside self-disciplined diet, I think the key to her lifelong beauty is to achieve the following:
01. Keep taking photos
. Sammi Cheng wrote a column in Ming Pao for a while. In "Talking about Beauty", she wrote:
"Beautiful faces are also extremely fragile; the most easily lost value of life. Every face will undergo helpless transformation."
▲ Sammi Cheng posted articles and paintings in Ming Pao's understatement column.
She has a strict standard for her weight, and it is maintained below 48kg all year round, and 116 catties is a scare. If you don’t play on camera, you will allow yourself to gain five or six kilograms, but not more. When you are photographed by the media, you will say that you are "like a modern fat teacher in the vegetable market." ▲ On the eve of his comeback concert in 2007, Sammi Cheng was photographed by paparazzi and gained weight after quitting smoking, and her arms were accused of loosening.
Sammi Cheng cares a lot about whether she looks good when she was photographed. When paparazzi is following, she will stop to take photos of paparazzi, but she doesn't want her ugly photos to come out of the street.
When she was young, Sammi Cheng and Zhou Huimin performed on stage in the same costume as , and when she got home, she really made up her mind to lose weight. Compared with Joey Wong, she is also able to support her performance costumes. Sammi Cheng is a person who has requirements for her. This incident has caused her psychological shadow and has been remembered until now.
▲In recent years, Mi posted IG: "There is no shortcut in front of life and time. From the green years to the present. In fact, we have all grown up like this." It can be seen that the driving force behind Sammi Cheng's eight kilometers every day is actually to take good photos. What reference does
have for us ordinary people? But in the era of social media, people who have the habit of taking photos will indeed enjoy a little more bonus to the times than those who don’t like to take photos. Moreover, the photos can make people see their problems very intuitively and improve imperfections more targetedly.
people will not be self-disciplined for self-discipline. They need to have a stimulus to have motivation. For example, in order to dress well, take photos well, or be more popular, the greater the desire for a certain stimulus, we will naturally become self-disciplined and maintain a good state. ▲Si-wen Cheng admitted in the interview that losing weight is not due to external influences, but about her own requirements.
02. Life requires a long vacation to regain yourself
Compared to when I was young, I think Sammi Cheng is becoming more interesting now. In htmlIn 205, Sammi Cheng disappeared after being depressed in " Everlasting Sorrow ", it seemed that she had a long vacation to find herself. In those two years, Sammi Cheng only occasionally wrote columns in newspapers to share her recent mood, and also fulfilled her dream of publishing a book. ▲Si-wen Cheng understates the column signing ah Mi, and M also signs it into a love heart shape.
For people who have been beautiful for life, living out themselves and making themselves at ease is the most important thing. The failure of
"The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" made Sammi Cheng figure out what she is suitable for and what she is not suitable for. Later, Mi admitted that she likes singing more than acting, and she is only herself when she sings.
So after "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow", she figured out a lot, no longer forced herself to be not good at things that were not suitable, and began to focus on what she was good at and truly loved. 's adjustments over the past two years also allowed Sammi Cheng to restore her cheerful personality when she was young and fell in love with bright colors. ▲ A lifelong beautiful person is like the pink show held in Anaya at the beginning, living out his own colors in the place where "the silence of the world, find yourself". Like Pink PP and Shocking Pink are a cool black feel, the strong colors that people who have been beautiful for life need a strong enough personality to support them.
03. The limit of human freshness is 28 years old
In addition, where is the degree to maintain lifelong beauty? Does
really need to pursue youthful beauty without any bottom line? Lifelong beauty seems to be the lifelong homework of every fashionable girl. Self-disciplined diet, exercise, and medical beauty genes... It is best to be a nocturnal animal to prevent sunlight from aging. It is a CVP medical method to "treat" aging institution. A basic package starts from one million yuan. The founder over 50 years old claims to be born in the 1995s. It is a secret maintenance method for many people with high net worth .
Singapore photographer Chuando specially found his English interview to study his eating habits because of his ageless fire. He learned that he loved Hainan chicken rice all year round. A friend told me that he meant eating more protein. ▲Male model Hu Bing Three meals a day shared on social media are recipes to maintain body shape and youthfulness.
In fact, even if you do all the above, the limit of human preservation is to maintain a young state of around 28-34 years old, and 20 years old is a delusion.
A small observation
I have been a private observation for many years. Human aging is not a gradual process, but an ageing instantly at a certain age node. 25, 35, and 45 are all nodes for people to age, and people will maintain a similar sense of age between nodes.
17 years old
27 years old
38 years old
44 years old
even if you draw the gene's Tianpai, human extreme can only maintain a sense of 30+ youth. After the age of 25, light fat pad downward movement, collagen loss, and bone mass and absorption cannot be compensated by high-tech power to return to the level of 20+.
▲A very subtle difference, 20+ Jingtian and 30+ Cecilia Cheung , they look almost young, but in the second of freezing, you can still see the nuances of age. Even the king of genes is difficult to truly copy 20+ collagen .
▲41-year-old Cecilia Cheung is in similar condition as 38-year-old Zhou Xun , and both look very young and energetic. But there is still a very intuitive difference between Zhou Xun, 38 years old and Zhou Xun, 27 years old.
Therefore, after having an objective understanding of human aging, we do not need to pursue the ultimate youth, but it is a blessing to just slow down the pace of time.
Just as Sammi Cheng said at her comeback concert in 2007: "Life is a competition between oneself and oneself, and it has nothing to do with others, nor is it related to others. To defeat a cowardly self is better than to defeat other lives." ▲2007 Hongguan concert, Sammi Cheng reads and writes letters to herself.
Beauty is fragile. In the complex world, especially in the past two years, we have seen too many beautiful people lose their value in fame and fortune. Sometimes, having a basic belief in beauty will prevent our lives from collapse.
After all, when pursuing lifelong beauty, what we desire is a full vitality of life, a controllable order of life, and the escape from the problem of " existentialism ". #Miss Lan and Miss Huang#
