January 2015.
France, Paris.
The fifth Haute Couture fashion show of Yan Yan's personal brand.
.........
Three years earlier, Yan Yan hadn't seen the London Graduate Fashion Week as her starting point.
In fact, throughout the whole of 2012, Yan Yan hadn't held a single show of her own.
That year, Yan Yan was an unknown name, so discreet that Yan Ling began to doubt whether his cousin was trapped by love, forgetting their shared dream.
Yan Yan wasn't without opportunities to be part of the official schedule of the Four Fashion Weeks.
On the contrary, after the Autumn/Winter shows in February and March of 2012, Yan Yan received an invitation from Milan Fashion Week.
But Yan Yan did not take it, nor did she show any reaction, not even a single word.
