化為六月息

-----【譯文初稿】-----

在經過長期等待後，英國百年精品Burberry在貝嫂維多利亞(Victoria Beckham)、葛妮絲派特蘿(Gwyneth Paltrow)，以及艾瑪‧沃特森(Emma Watson)等眾星的簇擁下，重返倫敦時裝伸展台，歡慶倫敦時裝周二十五周年。

Burberry的創意總監克里斯多福‧貝里(Christopher Bailey)，邀集眾多名流人士前來助陣，包括最近在美國MTV頻道推出新節目的英國籍主持人艾里珊‧鍾(Alexa Chung)，以及以電影《貧民百萬富翁(Slumdog Millionaire)》奪下奧斯卡獎的演員芙麗達‧蘋托(Freida Pinto)與戴夫‧帕托(Dev Patel)。這兩人還被目擊在整場時裝秀上手牽著手呢！

貝里表示想在經典款式上加入新創意，於是便將扭結(twist)融入精細的設計裡。身為道地英國品牌的Burberry，一開始是以軍用大衣打開品牌知名度。肩頭上的徽章、後背的透氣設計，以及D字型的扣環，是當年Burberry軍用大衣的獨特風格。自從第一次世界大戰以來，Burberry就被委託製造英軍的專用大衣，而且幾乎未曾變更過。

Burberry的經典款外套內搭米色洋裝，再配上標有Burberry字樣的女性手抓提包，為這場時裝秀揭開序幕。色彩方面，以柔美的米色、嬰兒粉色、長春花色以及亮黃色作為主軸。至於裙子與連衣裙，採用高腰設計，再圍上一條纖細的腰帶。而上身部份，則有短袖V領衫與縮口設計的毛料短夾克。以銀色摺邊布料製成的軍裝大衣，在腰帶的陪襯下顯得亮眼有型，艾瑪‧沃特森就穿了一件類似的衣服，不過是金色的。

在問到是否有可能把英國倫敦作為Burberry的永久根據地時，貝里沒有具體明確的答覆，只表示要視買家和媒體記者對今晚這場時裝秀的看法而定。

INTRO: Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mary-Kate Olsen and Emma Watson spice up front row at Burberry's first London show in 10 years. An A-list guestlist that included Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow, Liv Tyler, Mary-Kate Olsen and Emma Watson were on hand to watch Burberry's return to London after a decade.

STORY:  Burberry made a long-awaited return to the London catwalk and along with it, some of glitziest celebrities in the business including Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mary-Kate Olsen and Liv Tyler on Tuesday (September 22).

In the most anticipated show of London Fashion Week, the traditional British brand was amongst a slew of established British designers who have found success abroad but returned to London to celebrate the 25th anniversary of fashion week.

Creative director Christopher Bailey called on some high-profile friends to make an appearance. Others included British television presenter Alexa Chung, who has a new show on MTV in the United States, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. The latter two, the stars of the Oscar-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire" were seen holding hands throughout the show.

Bailey said he wanted "twisted classic" looks which stayed true to the brand's sophisticated designs but with literally a twist. Burberry has prided itself on being a quintessentially British brand, known primarily for trench coats which itself was its own patented style: epaulettes (a cloth placed over the shoulder used for ornamental purposes), back vent and D rings for buttons. The UK War Office commissioned the brand during World War I to make trench coats for its servicemen and since then little has changed.

The show kicked off with their signature piece with beige dress underneath and trademark checks on a clutch bag. Other highlights soft colours beige, baby pink, periwinkle and canary yellow. Skirts and dresses were twisted with high-waisted and cinched with skinny belts. Tops included short v-necks or short fur bomber jackets.  Stand-out pieces included a silver trench coat in a ruched fabric, cinched in with a belt. Emma Watson wore a similar dress in gold.

Bailey didn't rule out the possibility of making the British capital a permanent move for Burberry, but said he would have to see what the buyers and press thought of the night's show.
