风衣今春再度流行Trench

"There are certain pieces we have in our imagination that we ought to own," says Sally Singer, fashion news director of Vogue magazine, explaining why a belted khaki coat born in the trenches nearly a century ago has attained almost mythic status.
"It’s the most simple and elegant way to protect yourself from the rain. There is value attached to owning something like a good trench. It suggests one has spent one’s money wisely."
The trench’s enduring popularity puts it in a select group of clothes that are timeless, iconic pieces: the little black dress, five-pocket denim jeans, the twin set. But in the past couple of years, the trench also has become a sophisticated and cutting-edge fashion statement.
The metallic look, glamour and glitz will be hot this fall. Consider Bill Blass’s elegant three-quarter silver trench.
For spring, Oscar de la Renta reworked the trench into psychedelic art. Roland Mouret and Kenneth Cole turned the classic into a day dress, yet it still looks like a trench coat, not a shirtwaist.
In recent years, fashion designers have shortened the trench, lengthened it, changed the collar, made it out of plaids and prints, given it edgy styling, dropped the epaulets and added embroidery. Somehow, its platonic form shines through.
Singer credits the current resurrection of the trench to the resurrection of Burberry, the most famous of the British companies that made the coat for World War I soldiers.
The almost legendary company had lost its cachet until Rose Marie Bravo took it over eight years ago, turning Burberry into a billion-dollar success story with global branding. Bravo hired supermodel Kate Moss as its new face and the talented Christopher Bailey as its new designer, and a fashion basic became young and hip again.
在时尚设计中, 古典这个词被认为是可耻的, 只有一个例外, 那就是风衣. 在Vogue杂志中有介绍了风衣将在05年春季再度走俏, 因为它实用, 挡风挡雨, 而且逐渐被服装大师们结合时尚元素发展成为实用流行服装.
今春, Renta又重新把风衣结合了幻觉艺术, Mouret和Kenneth将古典变成了日常服装. 近年来, 时装大师们将风衣改短改长, 变化领子, 改变传统的格子图案, 卸掉垫肩, 加入刺绣.
Burberry 公司也是靠风衣救活自己的公司, 成为英国最有名的服装品牌, 邀请了著名模特Kate Moss宣传, 图案也是为格子疯狂.
