Chapter 952


    Sally followed her gaze and blinked, asking, “You mean Number 2?”


    Natalie solemnly nodded. “Yes. Although they share a body, they are two unique individuals, so their


    preferences, likes and dislikes, fashion sense et cetera will likely be different. It''ll be easier if they have


    a simr sense of style, but what will happen if they have totally opposite preferences?”


    Although Sally was not a designer, it was not hard for her to understand Natalie''s concerns.


    A girly fashion style would differ greatly from a sporty fashion style, and they would demand totally


    different elements and essories to be incorporated into the design.


    If the conjoined sisters liked those two vastly different styles, the designers would have to incorporate


    all the contrasting elements into a single design to fit on their shared body.


    Sally shuddered at the thought of mixing those two unrted styles together, as she could not imagine


    how they could blend in with one another.


    “I get it now! So Eleanor is worried she would get that conjoined twins, right?” Sally couldn''t help but fix


    her gaze on Eleanor, who was about to dip her hand into the box for the blind draw.


    “Most likely,” Natalie replied.


    “I think she got what she feared most!” Sally couldn''t help butugh out loud when she saw the pathetic


    look on Eleanor''s face as her nce shifted from her little draw ticket to the conjoined sisters.


    Natalie broke into a small smile too. “Then this is meant to be. Murphy''sw at work! Well, if we look on


    the bright side, the greater the challenge, the bigger the sense of satisfaction when we ovee it! It''ll


    motivate us to move beyond ourfort zone.”


    It might not be a trend to design with the special needs poption in mind yet, but that could very well


    change in the future. People with special needs had been neglected by the mainstream designers all


    this while, but they had always been part of the poption. It was a long-overlooked niche demand


    waiting to be satisfied.


    Suddenly, something urred to Natalie, and she couldn''t help but take a second look at the models


    on stage.


    She suddenly thought of the National Design Association and suspected it already had this vision in


    mind. Those models could have been sent by the National Design Association to test the waters during


    thispetition.


    If the designers sessfully created a range of clothing that could bring out the best in these models,


    the Design Association might be a pioneer in this field!

    They would have identified a group of designers they could work with to create designs for the special


    needs groups.


    Natalie would only know if her spection was right by monitoring the association''s announcements


    after thispetition was over.


    As her mind was wandering off, Eleanor led the conjoined twins down the stage and was greeted with


    hostility from her team of designers.


    Despite their displeasure, the designers could only ept the fact that they had to design for the twins,


    as the allocation was final and the organizer would not entertain any request for a change of model.


    “Let''s have a meeting to get to know the sisters better. We can then discuss ande to a consensus


    on the style of design for the twins so our designs would be more in line with one another. If our range


    has an eclectic mix of styles, that would be detrimental to our scores. In that case, we could lose out to


    the other teams,” Natalie suggested.


    The rest of her teammates agreed, and they managed to get a conference room from the organizer to


    do so.


    The timeline for this round was a week, not the usual one-day deadline forpletion that they were


    used to in the previous rounds.


    The organizer probably knew no one had any experience designing for special needs people, so they


    gave a generous one week for them to design ande up with the actual clothes. Thest day of the


    competition would be when the models showcased their creations on stage.


    The designers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. They had no inspiration at all, and it would


    have been mission impossible for them if the organizer kept to the usual rule of finishing in a day. To


    them, one week was a more reasonable timeline.


    After the meeting with her teammates, Natalie left thepetition venue together with Sally, armed


    with all the information about the twins.


    “Where are you heading next, Nat?” Sally asked.


    Natalie took a look at the time and suggested, “It''s going to be noon soon, so let''s get lunch first. After


    that, I''ll go visit Jessie before heading to the airport to meet Jared.”


    “Jared? Is that your brother?” Sally asked curiously.


    During their time at J University, she had heard about Natalie''s brother, but they never had a chance to


    meet.
