Chapter 238

Soon after, the host announced the arrival of contestant number 22. Chloe took the stage. with her model, but they quickly went their separate ways. Pax strutted down the runway while Chloe headed to the podium.

Despite being a man, Pax walked with a professional poise, even in high heels. His steps were light yet sturdy, like a gentle breeze over hills or the bright moon casting its light. This was a stark contrast to his usual sunny, boy–next–door image. In an instant, he transformed into the runway’s highlight, not pandering but exuding an elegant, aloof charm.

Once Chloe took the podium, she introduced her creation. “This is my work, and I call it Sandglass…” Her introduction was brief, barely lasting a minute. She simply stood there for the next two minutes, sharing a silent moment with the audience and judges, who were all fixated on her masterpiece. In the presence of such a perfect creation, words were

unnecessary.

The piece captivated many onlookers. The very dea of crafting a dress out of sand was astonishing. Chloe’s mastery in managing the interplay of light and shadow, and the precise mix of colored sands under the lights to produce just the right hues, was especially remarkable. The long flowing skirt resembled a tilting Sandglass, a shock to the soul.

The model’s face was adorned with a blue water–flowy mask, a masterstroke. It was as if someone wandering the vast desert had finally found the source of life in their moment of despair. Luxurious, magnificent, yet full of hope. This piece was nothing short of a masterpiece.

Soon, the model and Chloe exited the stage. But as they left, an even more astonishing scene unfolded. The long skirt of the model began to disintegrate bit by bit, the sand falling away like melting glaciers. The flowing sand trailed their every step, pouring down onto the stage, making it seem as though time itself was dissipating.

Everyone was stunned. Like the sands in an hourglass, the dress was fleeting, impossible to replicate. Yet, it made that moment eternally beautiful. The dissolution of the dress was profoundly shocking. Almost everyone in the audience couldn’t help but stand up.

As Chloe and the model disappeared from the runway, the crowd remained transfixed, barely able to grasp the moment. They were deeply moved, staring at the line of sand trickling down on the stage. After a long silence, the venue erupted into thunderous applause.

In the live stream watched by millions:

OMG, OMG, OMG!]

[In times of need, you realize the importance of a good ‘OMG! That phrase just conquered the world.]

[I thought the sand dress was already stunning, but I didn’t expect there to be such an awe–inspiring follow–up. Absolutely breathtaking]

[How did she do it? That was the perfect fusion of design and concept. She timed each step. precisely. As they turried and walked away, the dress began to fall apart, materializing the passage of time at that moment. Can someone with fashion expertise explain how?]

[As someone from the fashion industry, I’ll say it’s super complicated.]

[Laypeople might replace it impressive, but those of us in the know are all bowing down.]

[Isn’t this Chloe’s work? Don’t you know that Chloe has already won seven major awards at the Paris Fashion Design Competition?]
