Christian Louboutin 揭露完美高跟鞋背後的科學原理

 

․ perfect high heel:完美高跟鞋

․ reveal:揭露(動詞)

 

█ 這位高跟鞋大師名字叫:Christian Louboutin法國人,1964年在巴黎出生,從小對鞋類(footwear)就情有獨鐘,其中一個最早的記憶就是在巴黎的博物館看到禁止穿細高跟 (stiletto heels)的標示牌(sign),警告對木質地板(wood floors)可能造成損害(potential damage) 。

 

Louboutin was born in Paris in 1964 and was drawn to footwear from an early age. One of his earliest memories is seeing a sign prohibiting the wearing of stiletto heels (細高跟) in a Paris museum -- warning of potential damage to the wood floors.

 

█ 1992年他建立了自己的品牌標記(label),他的鞋均價700美元一雙,現在全世界各地高級名品店都有進貨。名人或流行時尚的編輯(fashion editors)喜愛他的創作。為義大利時尚雜誌(Vogue)寫稿的Terresa Cannata,說道他的作品:性感(sexy)、原創(original),有些好玩有趣(playful),有些還絕對典雅(definitely classic)

 

In 1992 he set up his own label (自創品牌), and his shoes, which cost on average $700 a pair, are now stocked (有進貨) in high-end stores across the world. Celebrities and fashion editors love his creations. According to Terresa Cannata, writing for Italian Vogue, "His creations are sexy and original, some playful, some definitely classic."

 

█ 在他的每一雙標記(trademark)紅底鞋(red-soled shoe)的背後都是展露量身訂做工程學的精湛技藝。這位人人爭相追求的設計大師在他的巴黎工作室說:「鞋跟本身就是個工程學,這小小的支撐人體重量的東西一定要有準確的平衡。」

 

…behind each trademark red-soled shoe is a feat (技藝) of custom engineering. "The heel is engineering in itself," said the sought-after designer in his Paris atelier. "This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance."

 

․trademark:特徵標記(名詞)

sole:鞋底

     red-soled shoe:紅鞋底的鞋 

     sole+edà soled當形容詞

․ sought-after:很受歡迎,因為技術一級棒,特別難求(形容詞)

․ atelier:工作室(藝術創作工作坊)

custom:當形容詞

        custom-made/custom-built特別量身訂做的

engineering:工程學

balance:平衡
