Chapter 104


    “Flora, I’ve got to go. My model has arrived. I need to head backstage to prepare.” Kaylee was no


    longer nervous after chatting with Flore and the others for a while.


    “Go, go, gol You’ve got this! I’m lugging the camera around. I’ll definitely capture your most brilliant


    moment!” Alex said, struggling with the heavy camera.


    Kaylee smiled, waved at them, and went ahead to meet the model, then headed backstage


    together.


    The backstage area was bustling. Many designers were busy doing makeup and styling hair for


    their models.

    designs.

    Makeup and styling were fundamental skills for every fashion designer.


    The designers participating in thispetition were mostly industry veterans, and Kaylee, who


    looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, attracted a lot of attention upon her arrival.


    “Hey, little miss, how old are you? Are you in college yet?” Someone nced at her contestant


    badge and asked kindly.


    Kaylee answered sweetly, “I’m still in high school.”


    Everyone was surprised. It was remarkable for a high school student to pass the preliminary rounds


    and make it to the finals.


    While they were still in shock, Yvonne entered with her model.


    Yvonne stirred even more excitement.


    “It’s Yvonne!‘


    “The prodigy, Yvonne!”


    Yvonne was quite well known in the fashion industry. At just neen, she had already won many


    awards. Moreover, she was quite good at marketing herself. So many people knew of her.


    “Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” Yvonne greeted everyone with grace and


    politeness, making them like her even more.


    “Yvonne, it’s an honor!” Having seen Yvonne’spetitions on TV, K


    Kaylee was very excited to see her in person. She reached out for a


    handshake.


    However, Yvonne didn’t notice her and walked past


    Kaylee awkwardly withdrew her hand.


    Everyone exchanged nces, noticing the apparent discord between Yvonne and Kaylee.


    Yvonne and her model went to the dressing room to change into a gown. Ten minutester, the


    door reopened.


    Everyone instinctively looked over, drawn to the gown worn by the model stepping out behind


    Yvonne.


    All eyes widened in amazement. This was their first time seeing such an exquisitely designed gown.


    The gown was predominantly navy blue, with unknown totems embroidered at the cuffs and


    neckline. The embroidered patterns blended into the fabric, the gown telling a story of its own –


    pretty as a picture.


    The silver threads shimmered under the wallmps, reminiscent of the moon’s soft glow casting its


    brilliance everywhere. The design was majestic yet understatedly elegant. It was just a gown, yet it


    somehow inspired a sense of awe. Everyone was stunned for a long time. They knew Yvonne was


    talented, but they hadn’t expected her to improve this much. It was a huge leap from herst


    competition entry, almost as if it was designed by apletely different person.


    Yvonne didn’t miss their expressions and lifted her chin proudly.


    “As expected of the prodigy, we simply can’tpare with such talent…” Someone said with a wry


    smile.


    Yvonne was undoubtedly going to be the champion of thispetition. She might even be spotted


    by the renowned designer Rose and taken as an apprentice. Her future was boundless.
