Joyce nodded. “That’s right. It’s produced by Starlight Entertainment. The company produced two very successful idol groups recently and has launched a variety show just for them. They want us to design the most fashionable outfits for their members.”
“Why us and not some other apparel company?” Natalie asked in confusion.
It’s not uncommon for the entertainment industry to collaborate with the fashion industry. Well-known superstars would be able to get free haute couture outfits, while rising ones would instead endorse less popular luxury brands. However, I’m surprised that they’d choose to collaborate with a small-time studio like ours…
“I too, found it strange too when they first approached me about this. After some clarification, I realized it was you that they were after,” Joyce said as she sat down in front of her.
“Me?” Natalie pointed at herself.
“Yeah, you’ve made quite a name for yourself with Project Rebirth and your performance in the previous design competition, and everyone thinks you’re quite capable of creating your own luxury brand someday. That’s why Starlight Entertainment decided to gain our favor by collaborating with us.” Joyce took a sip of her water before she continued, “That way, it would be easier for them to borrow haute couture outfits from us in the future.”
“Oh, so that’s why!” Natalie shook her head and burst into laughter.
Joyce set her glass down on the table. “What do you think, Natalie? Shall we accept their invitation?”
“Why not? It’d be a great opportunity for us to boost Studio Nouveau’s popularity and speed up the process of transforming it into a proper company! Once that’s done, we can start producing luxury items.”
Joyce nodded in agreement. “You’re right… I’ll inform them of our decision, then.”
She then whipped out her phone and made a call at the balcony while Natalie went back to reading the documents.
Someone else dropped by when she was almost done with it, but this person came straight in without even ringing the doorbell.
