“古董衫”種種
自上世紀(jì)90年代以來,“古董衫”逐漸成為很多明星追捧的時(shí)尚熱點(diǎn)。雖名為“古董衫”,但在時(shí)髦掛帥的今天,完全不等于“老祖母”的舊衣。古董衫的魅力,是古著的獨(dú)特氣質(zhì),但又能傳達(dá)摩登意念,這也是穿古董衫的最高境界。話說古董都很值錢,這些古董衫也都價(jià)值不菲哦。
Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or second hand garments originating from a previous era. The word vintage is copied from its use in wine terminology, as a more elegant-seeming euphemism for "old" clothes.
“古著”是對(duì)過去年代遺留下來的沒穿過的或者二手衣服的一個(gè)總稱。Vintage這個(gè)詞是從葡萄酒釀酒的術(shù)語中借用過來的(原本意思是“陳年的”),在這里是對(duì)“舊”衣服的一個(gè)委婉的說法,更具古典氣質(zhì)。
Generally speaking, clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique clothing and clothing from the 1920s to 1980 is considered vintage. Retro, short for retrospective, usually refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era.
一般說來,上世紀(jì)二十年代以前出產(chǎn)的衣服被稱為“古董衫(antique clothing)”,上世紀(jì)二十年代到八十年代期間的衣服則是“古著”(vintage),而仿照過去年代風(fēng)格出產(chǎn)的衣服則被稱為“懷舊衫(retro)”。
Most vintage clothing has been previously worn, but a small percentage of pieces have not. Popular places to buy vintage clothing include charity-run second hand clothing shops, flea markets, antique markets, auctions, vintage clothing shops, textile or collectables fairs.
大部分古著都是原來有人穿過的,只有一小部分是沒穿過的。買古董衫的地方一般包括慈善機(jī)構(gòu)運(yùn)營(yíng)的二手服裝店,跳蚤市場(chǎng),古董市場(chǎng),拍賣會(huì),古著商店,紡織藏品交易會(huì)等。
