十问英国时尚女王Vivienne Westwood(双语组图)
10 Questions for Vivienne Westwood
When did you realize that you wanted to be in the fashion industry?
你是从何时开始意识到你想要进入时尚界发展的?
Laura Buendia, REEDLEY, CALIF.
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things. I always wanted to read and do intellectual things. I started to do it to help my [then] partner Malcolm McLaren, because I could always make things. It was only about 15 years ago that my husband, whom I work with now and who designs as much as I do, said to me, "You have to like it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it."
我从来不想成为一个时装设计师,在我职业生涯的一半时间里我都觉得自己不喜欢这个工作。我一直想做更有意义的事,像是阅读什么的。我一开始帮助我的合作人Malcolm McLaren是因为我觉得我可以创造一些东西。直到15年前,我的丈夫对我说:你肯定是喜欢这个行业的,不然你不会做这么久。
What is the greatest fashion faux pas?
在时尚界,最丢脸的事是什么?
Andrew Y.H. Sun, LOS ANGELES
It's to be a follower of fashion. If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
那应该是“做一个时尚的跟风者”。如果你穿了不适合自己的衣服,那你就只是个时尚的奴隶。你必须要选择那些让你看起来更美的衣服。
How do you address the issue that in today's society so many clothes are tailored to fit women who wear a size zero and not a size 12?
你怎么看待当今社会中大部分的衣服都是为瘦女人设计的,而胖姑娘却买不到衣服穿?
Lei Lani De Santiago, AUSTIN, TEXAS
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
如果对于时尚来说,你太胖,你就必须创造一套自己的流行风格。
Have you ever had to forfeit any of your design ideals to stay in business?
你是否曾经为了销售额而让自己的设计妥协?
Lea Fast, VIENNA
I'm very lucky, and I haven't. I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them. I could always sell a few, even if I couldn't sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it. I'm in a fortunate position.
很幸运的是,我没有。因为自己开公司,所以我从不需要听那个生意人来告诉我哪些衣服卖不掉(所以不准设计)。我有我自己亲近大众的方式。我一开始为一家小店设计服装,总是有人来买的。哪怕只能卖出一部分,而不是全部。人们喜欢我的衣服,所以我的生意也开始成长。我想我是一个幸运儿吧!
Do you think you will ever collaborate with a fast-fashion company, or will your fashion remain a luxury?
你有没有想过和一个大众流行品牌合作,还是你希望你的服装保持奢侈品的定位?
Shane Tan, SINGAPORE
The time is gone. At one time I would have been prepared to do that, but my business has grown too big now, and it's a full-time job. In fact, I would like to do less work than I do at the moment. Anyway, I always try to make my clothes affordable, and they actually are affordable. I've got this shop, World's End, that has incredibly good prices.
那个时机已经过了。曾记我有机会涉足那个行业,但我的企业成长太快,对我而言已经变成一份全职工作。我其实宁愿做比现在少一点的工作。但无论如何,我一直试着把我的服装保持在合理的价位,人们也的确买得起我的衣服。我有一间叫“世界尽头”的店,那里出售的衣服都非常便宜。
What is the biggest issue that fashion faces today?
时装行业目前面临的最大问题是什么?
Mauricio Tortosa, NEW YORK CITY
I just think people buy too many clothes, whether they love fashion or whether they just want 12 T shirts, all different colors, and 12 pairs of jeans all the same. People look a mess because they're buying too many clothes; they're not thinking. If you do buy something new, if you've got the money to afford it, then buy a beautiful piece.
我只是觉得人们买了太多衣服了。不管他们是真的热爱时尚,还是他们只是想要12件相同款式、不同颜色的T恤、或是12条一模一样的牛仔裤。人们如果只是买很多衣服而不思考,他们会看来一团糟。如果你真心想买、也负担得起新单品,那至少买一件好看的!

What is the essence of true beauty?
你认为真美丽的核心是什么?
Joshua Granath, SYDNEY
I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
我总是着迷于那些让我感兴趣的人。他们一定要在一定程度上忠于自己,并且总是在尝试做一些让生命更有趣、更好、或对其他人有益的事情。他们要热衷于为人做事。

Do you ever regret the swastika on the "Destroy" shirt?
你曾经后悔过自己设计纳粹标志的万字饰T恤吗?
Elizabeth Burke, SAN DIEGO
No, I don't, because we were just saying to the older generation, "We don't accept your values or your taboos, and you're all fascists."
不,我没有,因为我们只是用这个方式来对老一辈的说:“我们不会接受你们的价值观,或者是标志,你们才是纳粹。”

If you were to choose a person from the arts, cinema or history to represent your brand, who would it be?
如果要你选择一个艺术家、或是电影任务,或是历史任务来代表你的品牌,你要选谁?
Charlotte Hall, NEW YORK CITY
We just did our next advertising campaign with Pamela Anderson, and she's a wonderful woman. She's very wild.
我们刚刚邀请Pamela Anderson来做我们下一个广告的代言,她是一个很有魅力的女人,并且野性十足。

How would you dress First Lady — elect Michelle Obama for the Inauguration Day ceremony?
你要怎么去打扮第一夫人,比如Michelle Obama要以什么形象去参加她丈夫的就职典礼?
Emmanuel Vaughn, LOS ANGELES
Well, I've got so much to choose from. I'd just say, "Come into my Aladdin's cave, let me give you whatever you want." She seems really great, and she's good-looking and she's a great model for clothes. She's got her own style and always looks good. I'd love to be able to help her look even better.
恩~~我想说我有太多选择了。“来我的仙女洞吧,我会给你一切你想要的” 呵呵~~ 她看起来实在很棒,她长得漂亮,是天生的衣架子,并且她也有自己的穿衣风格,随时看起来都很美。不过我会非常乐意让她看起来更美的。
