This hasn’t stopped the high street, including Banana Republic, COS, and Marks and Spencer, from attempting its own version of the casual velvet equation. As Andy Rogers, brand director at British high street chain Reiss, says: “Velvet is a strong men’s wear look for us this winter and the velvet blazer is a distinct move towards a more luxury approach to tailoring。”
这并没有阻止包括Banana Republic、COS,以及玛莎(Marks and Spencer)等名牌在内的“高端服装界”( high street)推出自己休闲系列服饰的努力。正如英国时装连锁店Reiss的品牌总监安迪·罗杰斯(Andy Rogers)所说的:“天鹅绒是今冬男装的主打面料,运动夹克是成衣业走更加奢侈风格的标志性举动。”
Just consider the testimony of one London-based financial services director, who admits: “My girlfriend bought me a grey velvet jacket from COS to smarten me up. The first time I wore it I felt a little too overdressed, a bit too try-hard, but now I throw it on with a T-shirt and jeans and don’t give it a second thought. I’ve had a few compliments too, which can’t be bad。”
听听伦敦金融服务业的某主管是如何评说的,对当前的时装界风向就略知一二了,他坦承:“女友在COS给我买了一件灰色运动夹克,想让我穿后帅气十足。第一次穿的时候,自我感觉有点讲究过头了,有点太过造作了,但如今我就随意配穿T恤和牛仔裤,并不太刻意追求该如何搭配。这样的穿法也有人夸奖,他们是发自内心的说好。”
