身為時尚迷,我們除了忙著看最新的流行資訊與各大品牌的服裝秀之外,也總是想知道時尚編輯們的想法,尤其那些簡直是時尚女王的編輯們,常常也跟大明星一樣有獨到觀點,這次就讓我們把這些名言一網打盡吧!
“The idea of beauty was changing,” she said. “If you had a bump on your nose, it made no difference so long as you had a marvelous body & good carriage. You held your head high, & you were a beauty… You knew how to water-ski, & how to take a jet plane fast in the morning, arrive anywhere, & be anyone when you got off.”
假如有牙縫,就讓牙縫成為最美的特點;身材高的話,就穿高跟鞋盡量更高。脖子長要現出來,別駝背;鼻子長,就抬頭讓它成為你的特色。 盡情自曝其短,讓缺陷成為身上最美的部分。
我們都知道美國版《Vogue》雜誌總編輯 Anna Wintour是一個重要指標,但女孩們知道誰是她的啟蒙老師嘛?其實就是講上面這番話的Diana Vreeland,人稱DV的她有永遠的時尚教主稱號,連教主都說要愛自己有缺陷的地方了,女孩們還不快快跟著做,想想那些超模們不也都是把不整齊的牙齒、相對較矮的身高當成自己的「招牌」,還因為這些「特色」而大紅大紫。
“Style—all who have it share one thing: originality.”
我們唯一要跟大眾分享的風格;就是自己的本質。
同樣是DV的經典語錄,看得出來她不斷強調本質的重要。
“I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead!”
我對『實際』很不拿手,但是,我永遠都有一個新點子。如果你有點子,那你就走得比別人前面。
想要走得比別人前面,能有不斷的新點子是必須的!
“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”
創造出你自己的風格,讓自己看起來獨一無二,而別人也能了解你的與眾不同。
當然,說到時尚總編輯,我們還是會提到Anna Wintour,上面這句話就是她說的,女孩們別隨波逐流啊!
“Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.”
要對自己誠實,且多聆聽那些你崇拜的指標人物的意見,但是,到頭來一切都看你自己決定。你不能一方面擔心自己,而另一方面又擔心那些和你同個圈子的競爭對手們在做什麼,你必須要有一個真正的願景和目標。
也是Anna Wintour的經典語錄,提醒女孩們自己還是自己的主人,要能夠立定目標並往那個方向邁進。
這兩位時尚總編輯可以稱為傳奇人物,尤其她們也都是女性,所以相信她們說的這些話,應該可以給女孩們一些省思吧!
