The creative director came on stage to give thanks, and on the way passed Yan Yan, giving her a high five.
Yan Yan's interpretation of the outfit was completely different from that of the models.
It could be as commanding and extravagant as on the model's body, or as subtly luxurious as Yan Yan wore it.
Without surprises, the piece Yan Yan was wearing would become the best-selling outfit of the season.
Many fashion reporters with a keen sense of smell wanted to clarify what exactly was going on with this new face, Yan Yan.
As the show ended, several fashion editors converged around Yan Yan, some speaking English, others Italian.
Press conferences were common, but not always the topic of conversation.
Yan Yan, never having seen such a spectacle and afraid she wouldn't understand Italian or misspeak due to unfamiliarity with the protocols,
left the runway show without saying a word, just smiling.
And that would have been the end of it.
