Returning Red

sounded much better in my head

"--so that's where you can make a blend of fashion along with women. VOGUE is about clothes and introducing PINK's spring collection to it will do the trick." Jade added as he showed me some slides of the spring collection. The theme I could clearly see was denim and pastels. He played around with dresses, shorts, tops, and skirts. I loved the overalls and shirtdresses but the faint details of flared patterns, rouched styling, and layer styling attracted my interest. 

"I approve of the styling and the spring line, but VOGUE is not just clothes. It has beauty and culture and lifestyle too. There's a story amidst it all so only this won't work for me." I shook my head. 

"What do you suggest then?" Robert asked me as we took a more deep view of the slides. 

I removed my glasses. They're useless anyway. "I want to bring out the perfect mix of both VOGUE and PINK. PINK is all about the journalism side of magazines. It deals with women and their stories so I just want to cover these stories with the VOGUE lifestyle. Just a mix of both in every aspect. I want the writing team to interview and get the stories of women working in VOGUE and I want VOGUE to style the entire PINK panel for the spring line photoshoot. We can push denim and pastels for summer." I moved the slides back to the cover page. "And for the cover, I want half of the cover to be VOGUE and the other half PINK--"

"No, that would look messy and chaotic." This was the first time he spoke in the whole meeting. I turned to him, but he didn't spare a glance at me. He was focused on the screen. "Why not do a mood board of the two? Like a collage. Use PINK fonts and colors for VOGUE and vice versa." 

"Works for me," I shrugged. "Ryan, will the legal be okay with that?" 

Ryan grinned at me. "Should be, I'll take care of that." 

"When you're at it, can you please have the legal let go of the Euphoria piece? My parents are stuck in there with Sage and I need Sage to start on the VOGUE interviews. They're wasting my time." I said as I glanced at the clock showing 02:30 pm. 

"Give me five," Ryan winked at me as he pulled out his phone and stepped outside the conference room. 

"Hazel, I need you to give me three options for the mood board cover. Play with your ideas and the colors, add spice but don't give out too much info, and make it as fun as you can. Will you be able to do that?"

"On it, Bella. You will have them sent to you by the end of today." Hazel said quickly making a note on her phone. "Also, if you could just approve the photoshoot, I'll proceed with them for the print."

"Cool, walk with me and I'll see it." I nodded to her and she immediately went to fetch her laptop, signaling me to stay rooted. "Ryder, you know what to do with the social media fetch right? Give a little trailer, make them want more, and expand the audience." 

"Hey, we can also run the February Runway shoots, most of it was styled by VOGUE," Ryder suggested. He walked up to me with his phone. 

The Runway that VOGUE had styled was perfect. I loved the designs because they were all extremely powerful. 

"I love it, re-run the runway then." I nodded to him. 

"Are you excited or are you anxious?" Ryder frowned as he caressed the top of my head and pulled me to his chest. 

"Both, I guess," I whispered. 

He planted a kiss on my forehead and I smiled. "You're fabulous, you know that right?" I shook my head when his eyes went to the chair behind me. His smile stopped and he held me closer. "Austin Cooper?"
