Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 119

The preliminary round was packed with top-tier talent. Quinn's presentation slot was toward the end, so she had to wait backstage.

Vivienne stood nearby, while her assistant Maya held an incredibly luxurious garment bag.

"You're not using another one of your vintage dresses, are you, Quinn?"

Vivienne strolled over, peering through the clear plastic window of Quinn's garment bag.

"That style is so niche. Only one of the three judges likes it. You're going to have a hard time making the cut."

It was true. The vast majority of the contestants had opted for trendy, highly commercial modern couture styles that were flashy and catered to the current market.

Quinn loved traditional design. Ever since she was a little girl watching her mother sew on a vintage machine, the intricate, Eastern charm of every stitch had left a profound and beautiful mark on her.

That love was etched into her soul, and continuing her mother's craft gave it even deeper meaning. That was why she refused to abandon her roots in her design work.

Ignoring the mockery, Quinn replied calmly, "Maybe my style is rare here, but I believe true aesthetic appreciation is universal. Real beauty will always be recognized."

Seeing her so confident and unshaken, Vivienne faltered for a second.

Then she sneered inwardly. *Let's see if you're still smiling when you get on that stage.*

Soon, it was Vivienne's turn.

Her collection was a modern, accessible take on French luxury, perfectly aligning with international trends. It was her strongest suit, featuring mature, chic silhouettes.

She showcased an effortless mix-and-match concept—a light oatmeal linen collared top paired with a tiered white skirt, perfectly tailored with a high slit and cinched waist, accessorized with vintage brooches and chain belts. It was an elegant, polished, yet feminine look.

Anyone who had watched the recent Italian fashion shows knew this heavily drew from Luisa Valenza's latest old money aesthetic, perfectly capturing that relaxed, effortlessly wealthy vibe.
