牛仔装时尚再次袭来

2010-02-21来源:和谐英语

《时尚》(杂志2010年2月刊的封面上,好莱坞一线红人杰西卡.贝尔身着拉夫.劳伦的牛仔背心,外罩Ralph Lauren Collection的牛仔上衣,给杂志添色不少。杜嘉班纳旗下D&G品牌最近发布了一个双页平面广告,模特们坐在酒吧桌旁,从头到脚一身牛仔装扮,身着牛仔裙,手挎牛仔手袋。
Jessica Biel graces the cover of the February issue of Vogue wearing a denim jacket by Ralph Lauren Collection over a RRL Ralph Lauren denim vest. A current two-page print ad from Dolce & Gabbana's D&G line features models in a club setting wearing head-to-toe denim and denim dresses while a denim handbag rests on a table.

牛仔风开始刮向千家万户,进入梅西百货和萨克斯第五大道精品百货店这样的大卖场,以及J. Crew和Banana Republic这样的时尚专卖店,后者最近刚推出一个牛仔服装系列,包括牛仔风衣和牛仔衬衫裙等。
All that denim is starting to reach the public, making its way into department stores like Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as J. Crew and Banana Republic, which recently introduced a denim collection that includes trench coats and shirt dresses.

牛仔装的卷土重来可能与目前的经济状况有关:艰难时世流行粗犷衣装。这是坚韧的本色装扮的回归,又是对闪亮丝绸礼服和笔挺西装的一种颠覆。
Part of the renewed interest in denim may have to do with the economy: hard-times chic in hard times. A return to gritty, more down-to-earth wear; a rebellion against flashy silk dresses and banker suits.

然而,全身牛仔会给人一种什么感觉?如果搭配不当,这种设计看上去像是去露营或是捡破烂的。
But denim-on-denim? Such designs can border on camp or tacky, in the wrong hands.

Banana Republic的尼恩说,全身牛仔装看上去很新鲜,因为很久都没有这种打扮出现了。也许这谈不上什么先锋时尚,但在目前而言,还是一种说得过去的潮流。
Mr. Kneen of Banana Republic says denim on denim looks fresh because it hasn't been around for some time. 'Maybe it's been a fashion no no but it's a fashion OK at the moment.'
  
一些消费者持谨慎态度。“这不符合我的审美情趣。”达拉斯一名21岁的医学院学生娜达丽亚.彭说。虽然她很喜欢牛仔裤袜,并考虑买一件牛仔衬衫,但她说,我觉得从头到脚一身牛仔不会好看。
Some consumers are wary. 'That's something that doesn't appeal to me aesthetically,' says Natalie Pon, a 21-year-old medical student in Dallas. While she's a fan of denim leggings and will consider buying denim shirts, 'I think it will be hard even for me to wear denim on denim and come off looking good,' she says.
 
一些零售商知道,有些牛仔设计确实超出了消费者的欣赏范畴。
Some retailers are cognizant that some designs may be too much for customers.
