Fashion Buyer’s Life 时尚买手：潮流生活，过瘾职业

在人人都爱时尚的年代，我们身边有这样一群人，他们是“时尚宠儿”。一年中有大半年要满世界去捕捉时尚信息，每个季节各大品牌新品发布会的T台前几排会永远为他们预留座位。既要与各国供货商沟通、谈判，又要到巴黎、伦敦、纽约、东京尽情地购物。繁忙时节，常常早上在酒店醒来，忘记自己是在哪个国家，而这一切，不需要自己买单。这些对时尚敏感、能准确判断流行趋势、品位独到、经验丰富，能根据市场判断制定畅销商品采购计划并实施采购的人，被称为“时尚买手”。 买手（buyer）作为职业，起源于20世纪60年代的欧洲。按照国际上通行的说法，买手指的是往返于世界各地，时时关注最新的流行信息，手中掌握着大批量订单，不停地与供应商联系、组织商品进入市场、满足消费者不同需求的人。 如果你是一个疯狂购物者，这样的职业你会向往吗？ When you were a child, a family member probably decided which clothes you would wear every day. In a roundabout way, professional fashion buyers do the same thing, though on a larger, more complicated scale. Let’s say you need to buy a new shirt. All you have to do is go down to the nearest department store or apparel shop. But did you ever wonder how the dozens or even hundreds of available shirts ended up at the store in the first place? And who decided which shirts would be sold at that store and which ones wouldn’t? Chances are it was a fashion buyer, indirectly determining your wardrobe. Fashion buyers typically work for department stores, retail chains, independently owned stores or wholesale distributors. Their jobs might seem easy; after all, what’s not to like about buying apparel with someone else’s money, to the tune of thousands or even millions of dollars? Love shopping and working in a shopping environment? If you do, most likely you’d make an excellent fashion buyer. A buyer has the privilege to decide which products to offer to the customers and where to purchase them. You can be successful in fashion merchandising as long as you have the drive and passion to work long hours and travel frequently. You also need to have keen eyes, good sense of design and creativity. A personable personality and good communication skills would help as well. Fashion—Some of us have an eye for it, some of us really don’t, but we all have to buy clothes once in a while. Yet some people are so good at spotting trends and fashions that they buy clothes for a living. Meet the fashion buyer. roundabout 不直截了当的，间接的 apparel shop 服装店 wardrobe 衣柜，意指时尚买手决定你买什么样的衣服 retail chains 零售连锁店 wholesale distributor 批发商，总经销商 to the tune of 达……之多 merchandise 推销，买卖 drive 决心，干劲 keen eyes 敏锐的眼光 personable 讨人喜欢的 have an eye for 对某事有判断力或鉴赏力 monitor 监控，密切注视 spot 发现，确定

Charles Frederick Worth: The Father of Haute Couture 查尔斯•弗雷德里克•沃思：“高级定制服装”之父

在时装世界里存在着这样一种传奇：享有古老声名的时装品牌、价格昂贵的面料配饰、举世无双的制作工艺再加上动辄数月的精工细作，只为一位顾客——王室公主、巨富家眷、顶级明星——量身定制一件服装。它是服装，却已尊贵到不能委身于任何高档的商场；它是商品，其精细却不逊色于任何一种华美艺术。这便是“高级定� ...

It is really a diseaster when a pretty and lovely girl once shaped in your mind by the image of an angel suddenly turns out to be a evil of nise and dirt。the beautiful face and the soft words become what will make you feel sick of。I am just suffering that bitter experience 。

green trees and colorfull flowers filled up your eyes as well as soft breese kissing your face and the loving songs blowing in the air feasted your ear，with your beloved boy sitting beside，at that moment I just wanted to say nothing，the only one idea occurred to me then ...
