Nina Garcia typically kicks off fall with four weeks of 16-hour days during the New York, Milan and Paris fashion weeks.
每当秋季来临的时候,尼娜·加西亚(Nina Garcia)总要穿梭于纽约、米兰和巴黎时装周,整整四周、每天16个小时总是从早忙到晚。
At this time of year, the Marie Claire fashion director and 'Project Runway' judge often attends 10 to 15 fashion shows and other events each day. She has to look fresh and put-together from morning deep into the night even if she doesn't have time to run back to a hotel or office and change clothes. Her strategy for surviving a long workday with style is simple: 'I slowly unpeel,' she says.
每年这个时候,这位《嘉人》(Marie Claire)杂志的时尚总监兼《天桥风云》('Project Runway')节目的裁判经常要每天周旋于10到15个时装秀及其它各种活动。即使她没有时间返回酒店或者办公室换衣服,她也要从清晨到深夜一直保持容光焕发、神采奕奕。对于如何时尚光鲜地度过漫长的工作日,加西亚女士的策略很简单:“我会慢慢地做减法,”她说。
Ms. Garcia usually starts her day wearing several layers of clothing: A typical outfit might be a beaded top, a leather jacket, a skirt and opaque tights. As the day progresses, she will take off various layers to achieve different looks. Removing the tights or the jacket will make the outfit look different, for example.
每天开始的时候,加西亚女士通常会穿得很有层次感:她外出的典型打扮可能会是一件钉珠上衣、一件皮夹克、一条半裙,外加透明丝袜。慢慢地,她会褪下不同的层次,营造不同的风格。比如说,脱掉丝袜或者夹克就会使人看起来很不同。
