英語四級晨讀100篇精華版007：Eco-faShion環保時裝
7.Eco-faShion環保時裝
The January fashion show, called Future Fashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.
一月份舉行的未來時尚時裝秀證明了環保時尚設計時代的到來。此次時裝秀由名為地球宣言的機構來組織，它位于紐約，是一個非盈利性機構。這次活動極大地激發了很多頂級時裝設計師第一次采用可持續性纖維進行設計。
The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, confounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. Most designers with existing labels are finding there arent comparable materials can still just replace what youre doing and what your customers are used to, he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have eco-friendly equivalents.
有幾位大師已經承諾從此在他們的設計中使用有機面料。但是那寫從事環保時尚的大師仍然面臨許多挑戰，作為Grego of Rogan and Loomst共同創立者，說高質量的可持續性材料是很難找到的1霧，羹耍夔妻需燃霧m生產的。他還說， 對于市場上現有的品砝與倫比的纖維可阻代替現有的材料，而顧客也習慣了這些材料。比如，有機棉布和非有機棉布制成女裝以后是根本區分不出來的。但是流行的合成材料，比如彈力尼龍則很難找到環保替代品。
Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show DesignersAgents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic :it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainablematerial. Mainstream is about to occur, says Hahn.Some analystsare less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that eco-fashion exists, up from 6% four years ago.
那些對設計材料進行替換的設計師發現他們得到了很多幫助。去年具有影響力的時尚貿易組織設計師與代理商停止收取兩次參加其在洛杉磯和紐約組織的時尚秀的年輕環保企業家的參展費，并且對收藏品中至少25%是可持續性產品的設計師們給予特別認可。環保設計者從兩年前最初不到12名發展到現在50名之多。
This week Wal-Mart is seL to announce a major initiati ve aimcd at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will huy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainible material. MainsLream is ahout to occur, says Hahn.
這個禮拜沃爾瑪開始宣布一項重要措施，目的在于幫助棉農種植有機棉花。沃爾瑪將會以高于市場的價格收購這種過渡型的棉花。以此幫助擴大一種重要可持續性材料的供應。時尚的主流就要出現了，哈恩如是說。
Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied, Not that Im aware of. Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, shes on the hunt for cute stuff than isnt too expensive. By her own admission, green just isnt yet on her mind. But thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers-one day it will be.
但是一些分析家對此卻不是很確定。在消費考當中，現在也僅有比四年前的6%高-點的人，即18%的人了解到生態環保時裝的存在。Natalie Harmilla昱一位時尚作家，但是她卻是未轉換思想的消費者當中的一個例子。當問她是否有可持續材料的衣服時，她回答道， 這我并不知道呀。和大多數消贄者一樣，她很少有時間去購物：如果購物，她也是尋找那些可愛而又不昂貴的物品。她自己承認，環保不在她的考慮范圍。但是多虧設計師、零售商以及原材料供應商的共同努力，環保時裝將會進人消費者的考慮范圍。
