丰满逐渐取代骨干成流行趋势?

2010-01-20来源:和谐英语

Nearly everything in fashion is cyclical: the clothing, the hair, the accessories, and yes, even the people come in and out of style with impeccable regularity.
时尚界的一切差不多都是循环往复的:服饰、发型、饰品,以及形形色色的潮人,他们淡入淡出镜头的规律也丝毫不差。

It's no wonder, then, that plus-size models and their agents are accepting the latest clamor to place larger models in high-fashion editorial spreads. They're hopeful, but if you've been in the business long enough, you've seen it all before.
所以,看到身材丰满的“肉感模特”和她们的经纪人受邀为时尚杂志编辑推荐栏目拍摄照片,一点都不稀奇。她们对自己很有信心,不过你若是多年从事这一行的,这种情况自然见得多了。

"They show that we can do the exact same poses, wear the exact same clothes and look just as good," a plus-size model said. But will it lead to more jobs in the runway shows, beauty campaigns and high-end editorials where slender still rules? She isn't so sure.
一位丰满型的模特说:“人们发现我们也可以摆造型、穿时装,看上去也同样很有吸引力。但这是否表示,在苗条模特一统天下的走秀、美容宣传和高品味的编辑评论中,肉感模特能分得一杯羹呢?她对此并不确信。

"There are more girls out there than there is work. For the straight-size girls (models who vary between size 0 and size 6), there's a ton of work," an agent, Aida Brigman, said. "But for plus-size, it's not a huge market; it's not as big as people would like it to be."
“模特人数比工作机会要多。骨感模特(身材在0码和6码之间)的工作机会非常多,”Aida Brigman,一个模特经纪人如此说,“肉感模特的市场就比较小,人们也不是很想看到她们有很大的市场。”

V magazine's issue proclaims that big is in, but Brigman said it is doubtful that these splashes of acceptance in the fashion world will translate into having more than one major runway show for plus-size models. Remember, she cautioned, this has all happened before.
V杂志撰文称丰满重回时尚潮流,但Brigman怀疑这种短暂的炒作式接受是否能给肉感模特带来更多的走秀机会。她提醒说,这种潮流不是第一次出现。

"In the late '90s and early '00s, plus-size was supposed to hit big and it didn't," she said.
“二十世纪九十年代末和二十一世纪初,人们原以为丰满会大行其道,实际上根本没有。”

Even beauty campaigns, which are devoted to faces, would rather book a straight-size model.
即便是注重脸部的美容宣传,也更倾向于雇一个骨感模特。

However, more editorials prove that there are amazing plus size girls who aren't what people typically think a plus size model is. Just because they are curvier, they can be just as beautiful and they can sell mascara and lipstick just as well.
不过,越来越多的编辑评论证明,有很多的肉感模特都十分优秀,并不像人们想当然的那样。因为她们身材更有曲线美,她们也能魅力四射,代言睫毛膏和唇膏也一样有效果。
