Christian Allen

The name Christian Allen thundered throughout America and beyond. He was a celebrated designer, the ruler of a fashion house whose collections invariably left the public in awe. The models he chose were distinguished by their unearthly beauty, but among them there shone one, eclipsing all the others.

She was an angel in the flesh, captivating his heart with her purity. Sweet, kind, with a dazzling smile, she was a deity for him, a muse, a source of secret inspiration, the embodiment of tenderness and innocence.

The day of the next show arrived. Heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway. Christian walked in, his head cold, as if drunk with power, his expression impenetrable and his gaze icy.

And then he saw a nightmare: the dress, over which he had been conjuring for months, created especially for her, was barbarically ruined, there were torn holes in several places.

The girl's face was frozen in confusion, her eyes were pleading and desperate. They filled with tears when she heard one of the designers scolding her for something she did not do.

Christian covered the distance with lightning speed, grabbing threads, needles, lace and silk scraps with precise movements to bring the dress back to life.

He created this dress for her, putting his heart and soul into it. And he saved his creation, and his muse, who was so upset by this terrible injustice.

There was silence backstage, broken only by the soft rustling of fabric and muffled breathing. Christian worked feverishly, his fingers fluttering over the fabric like butterflies. His movements conveyed not only the virtuosity of a master, but also the fury of a protector. He could not allow this meanness to break her, to tarnish her reputation.

Time flew by inexorably. Five, ten, fifteen minutes. The tension reached its peak. A few minutes before the model was to go on the podium, Christian stepped back, looking at his creation. The dress was shining again, as if that terrible damage had never happened. His muse's eyes reflected amazement mixed with gratitude.
