Milan is one of fashion capitals of the world alongside London, New York and Paris. Italian "Vogue's" head office is also located in Milan. Eve was invited by "Vogue" Itlay to shoot the Magezine cover for the upcoming month.
There are only twelve months in a year, so there also only 12 covers a year too. With the arrival of internet age, the popularity of print media is slowly declining. Therefore, Magezines like "Vogue" and "Harper Bazaar" have to select candidates for covers very carefully as not to have any kind of negative influence on the magezine.
This might also be one of the reasons why despite being so popular, "American Vogue" didn't invite Eve. Without having enough works to support her massive popularity, Eve's position in the industry is continuously fluctuating. This puts her in a very embarrassing position and also made the fashion brands who wanted to work with her hesitate. In the end, the first one to lend an invitation became the Italian "Vogue".
In the editor-in-chief's office, Vogue building.
"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Franca Sozzani. Its a great opportunity for me to work with Vogue."
Eve sat opposite to editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, one of the biggest names in Fashion Industry. Franca Sozzani has been the editor-in-chief of "Italian Vogue" since 1988 and It has been almost ten years since she took the office.
"No need to be polite dear, you can call me Franca. Vogue is also happy to have a face like yours on our cover."
Franca also observed the recent most famous blond in the industry. She has to say, Eve Thompson is quite a perfection.Fashion industry prefers sharp features for a model, while movies and television tends to go for softer ones. And Eve Thompson is the perfect mixture of sharpness and softness, possessing the best of both sides. With different poses, those deep blue eyes can be sharp as an eagle, and can also become sweet as honey the next moment with the change of movement (pose). A perfect mixture of American sweetheart and British Audrey.
In fact, Even Eve's grandmother Marilyn Monroe only had a face with best sweet and soft features. Marilyn's sharp features were not much, and the reason why her photographs are so iconic was due to her unlimited charm.
Franca said: "Let's go to the shooting set. Steven has been waiting for you since morning."
Eve nodded and followed Franca toward the shooting set. Just as they stepped out of the office, she found a person in lobby who shouldn't have been there at all.
Leonardo stood up and greeted the two: "Hello beautiful ladies, I am Leonardo DiCaprio. I was worried for my friend, so I followed her here to give her company. I hope you don't mind."
Franca smiled at the flattering young men. He has a smile bright like a sun. She observed both Leonardo and Eve's expressions. The atmosphere between them doesn't feel like of lovers and is quite unique, but this makes it more intresting.
Eve was about to refute and send away Leo, but Franca spoke first: "No problem young man, you can come with us. We would appreciate your company."
Leonardo smiled and followed Franca and Eve to the set. When they arrived at the set, they met the photographer Steven Meisel. Steven Meisel is one of the most popular photographers in the fashion industry and has been associated with American and Italian "Vogue" for many years now. He has photographed many famous people in the past and his services have always been sought after.
Eve greeted him: "It's nice to meet you Steven."
Steven who was setting his personal camera and equipments greeted back. He hugged Franca, and greeted the other two: "You look beautiful dear, and you are quite a handsome young man."
After pleasent greetings, Eve changed into the dress prepared with measurements her assistant sent to "Vogue". It was long pure white sleeveless dress inlaid with gold threads at the boundaries. The blonde hair were curled a little making it look like sparkling gold. A carter necklace with a blue diamond in the middle was worn on the neck, matching the deep blue eyes.
When Eve came out of the makeup room after getting her look done, everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Franca, Steven and Leonardo who were having a conversation also looked in Eve's direction. A wave of surprise flashed in Franca and Steven's eyes, and Leo was completely stunned.
Franca complimented loudly: "You look stunning dear, absolutely gorgeous. Am I right Steven?"
Steven also nodded and Leonardo's mouth was completely dry. Eve looks like a fairy. To be honest, she has always been an extremely beautiful girl, one like which you might never see a second time in your life. But the Eve in front of his eyes, is much more beautiful than her usual self. She's beautiful and stunning as an angel yet so charming and sexy like a devil. Even if he has given up his pursuit of her and has chosen friendship, but its still difficult for him to calm himself down when seeing her this look.
On the set, every person's eyes, regardless of the gender were fixed on Eve like a glue. They were even trying not to blink in fear of missing a single moment.
Eve was a little uncomfortable with such intense gazes. Although she has been used to being the centre of attention as an actor now, but these gazes were so intense that it was making her uncomfortable.
Franca felt the uncomfort and said: "Dear, Let's get the shoot started. We have a lot of pictures to take today."
Eve nodded and followed Franca toward the shooting location. The photoshoot that was going to become one of the most iconic shoots of the decade finally started.
