Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 949
The competition was a group competition with unique regulations. The organizer called in a few models with unusual body shapes, and they would be allocated to each team. The teams were supposed to custom design clothes for their respective model, with the aim of downplaying their shortcomings and showcasing their strengths.
So, that effectively removed all the designers’ models, including Sally, from the competition for that round.
Sally went up to Natalie and pouted, “This competition is too tough, Nat!”
Designers prided themselves on their sense of style, and when they conceptualized a design, it was not meant for people with imperfect body shapes or proportions. In fact, they often did not want such people to wear their clothes so as not to ruin their designs.
More importantly, they felt having imperfect people wear their clothes would degrade their image and brand.
As such, most of the top designers in the world had not designed with imperfection in mind. The unique regulation was a real test for them, and many were deeply troubled by it.
Natalie was no exception, and even her mentor Mercede had not done any customized designs for such people before.
Their inexperience in designing for such people was not because of discrimination or snobbishness, but rather due to lack of exposure. In the fashion world, they had never had models with unusual body shapes, and even the sketches they studied drew tall and lanky models. Moreover, they were mentored by top designers, and with that background, the clients they were exposed to were the rich and famous, who were usually very image-conscious. These people rarely allowed their bodies to get out of shape.
“My goodness! Can you feel it, Nat? The atmosphere is so solemn and gloomy!” Sally rubbed her arms and declared.
Natalie was tickled by her expression and laughed. “Of course. How can it be otherwise? All of us have never designed with that requirement in mind, so basically, everyone is panicking inside, not knowing what to do now! A designer and his or her model complement one another. A great model can inspire the designer, and without one, some designers may lack inspiration and end up with a mental block.”
