NovelEnglishChapter 51 More Than Qualified to Be a Judge
It was out of Silas’s expectations. However, he found that it made sense too-with her abilities, she was
more than qualified to be a judge. There were a total of five judges, and Camila sat right in the middle.
After sitting down, she playfully smiled at him when she noticed that he was still watching her. In
response, the corners of his lips naturally lifted too. Xavier nearly cried tears of joy upon seeing the
smile on the president’s face. Recently, Silas rarely smiled. Occasionally, he even became distracted
and lost focus during work. I was right to ask him to come and watch the finals of the competition. At
that moment, the host on the stage began his opening speech. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
distinguished leaders, and esteemed guests. Thank you all for taking the time to attend the 2019
Glamor Vogue Grand Fashion Design Competition! I am the host for today, Seth White.” As soon as
those words sounded, a round of applause rang out. Then, the host smiled and continued, “This
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompetition has lasted for three months, from the day we started accepting registrations to the day of
the semi-finals. Among the thousands of works that we received, only the top ten works that were rated
the most popular and the best-looking were selected! Today, those designs have been transformed into
ready-to-wear outfits! And, we are going to showcase each and every outfit today! Now, allow me to
explain the scoring rules: the judges hold a total of 8 points, including 3 points for design originality and
creativity, 3 points for the presentation and showmanship, and another 3 points for attention to detail
and craftsmanship. Last but not least, we have 2 points for popularity, which will be decided by our
audience. Take a look at the voting device in your hands; you can vote for any of your favorite designs
by the designers! With this, I officially announce the start of the 2019 Glamor Vogue Grand Fashion
Design Competition! Let us welcome the first of our designers on stage! Welcome, Jasmine Thomson!”
After the host got off the stage, the surrounding lights dimmed suddenly, leaving only the U-shaped
stage lights on. Then, four girls walked out, one after the other, as soothing music played softly in the
background. They didn’t walk as quickly as they normally would on the runway. Instead, they took their
time-almost as if they had to think before taking the next step. Jasmine Thomson’s designs were bold
and bright. Her four designs utilized four colors and portrayed a good sense of depth. Camila studied
the models on stage without blinking, feeling somewhat pleased. Although the design had some flaws
which interrupted the flow of the works, the overall creativity was good. The presentation of the four
outfits took around ten minutes. After that, the host invited Jasmine onstage. When Jasmine came onto
the stage, she went through the routine of bowing, greeting the judges, expressing her gratitude, and
introducing
herself. During this entire spiel, she didn’t even dare to lift her head to look at the judges. It wasn’t until
she heard Camila’s voice, “Tell me about the concept behind your four designs.” Then, she raised her
head in confusion. When she saw Camila, she was so shocked that she froze in place. Isn’t that Lyla’s
sister? Isn’t she participating in the competition? Why is she a judge?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing her standing there in a daze, the host kindly reminded her, “Miss Thomson, please tell us
about the concept behind your designs.” At that moment, Jasmine panicked as she began to explain,
“H-I’m from the north. In the north, the four seasons are very distinct, and that became the inspiration
for my designs. I used light green to signify spring, hoping to make people slow down their pace in life,
ease up on the pressure of competition, and pay more attention to the essence of life…” Camila
nodded while listening to her introduction. “Okay, that’s good. Your ideas and concepts are good. Still,
your designs are a little rough on the edges. There is room for improvement in your designs.” Jasmine
bowed. “Thank you.” Following that, the host said, “Judges, please score her!” Jasmine clenched her
fists nervously, secretly regretting her rash actions just now. So many people went over during the
commotion, but only I blabbered the most. Will this judge give me grief out of spite? Thus, she waited
anxiously with a bitter expression. of the five judges, Camila gave a score of 7.5 while the other four
judges gave a score of either 7 or 7.5. Combining those scores with the results of the popularity vote,
Jasmine received an overall score of 8.5.
