Part 1 Personal Aesthetic --- The Latest Buzzword in Fashion
个人审美情趣---时装界最新流行语

    Just in time for the new century, the new fashion trends offer a lot of choice to the customers. Instead of one main fashion look, fashion houses are offering a range of different looks. The new prediction for high fashion this year is "Personal Style" is in. as long as it's modern, you can wear whatever you want. That means any color and dress length is acceptable.

    What is the reason behind the confused fashion scene this year? One Italian designer puts the confusion down to a world-wide reaction to the globalization of high fashion over the last ten years. Globalization has meant that all over the high-fashion world, fashion designers have influenced each other's designs. This has resulted in clear fashion trends, from the "power dressing" of the eighties, to "grunge" of the early nineties to conservative "chic" of recent years. In turn, the followers of high fashion have had no choice but to follow the season's new fashion.But no more.

    This year, for the fist time on the fashion catwalks around in Europe and the USA, there is no definitive designer style to copy. Instead we now get to decide our own fashion style. The individual can now be truly individual. The latest trend is for the fashion-conscious to experiment with different styles. You try to work out your personal style, called "Personal Aesthetic". This style or "aesthetic" should suit your body as well as suiting your outlook on life and your personal philosophy.

    This new freedom of choice hasn't meant total chaos on the fashion scene this year, however. Out of the main fashion centers of Milan, Paris, New York and London have come three main looks, the decorative, colorful "boho look", the "less is more" streamlined look and the new look, and the "mix and match" look,. Which one is your look?

    Once you have worked out what style matches your body and your personality, try and stick with it. Be confident about yourself and your clothes. Of course, having a personal style doesn't mean never making any more changes in your fashion life. Use your Personal Aesthetic to filter new fashion influences. Remember, your Personal Aesthetic is an expression of your inner self.

    现在时装潮流给顾客提供了许多选择。时装公司不是仅仅提供一种主要时装款式，而是提供一系列不同的款式。有关今年的最新时装，新的预测是“个人风格”占上风。只要时髦，想穿什么都行。这就是说任何服装颜色和长度都可以接受。 　

    时装领域经常让人困惑。为什么呢？一位意大利时装设计师将此归因于全世界对过去十年最新时装全球化做出的反应。全球化就是在整个时装界，时装设计师们的风格互相影响。结果就是时装潮流变化非常明显：从80年代的“强人装”到90年代初的“摇滚装”，再到近年的“保守潇洒装”。到头来，最新时装潮流的忠实追随者没有选择，只能跟随本季时装潮流的变化而变化。

    然而，现在这种状况不复存在了。今年，欧美时装界首次没有明确的设计样式可以模仿。而我们得开始确定自己的时装样式。如今个人可以真正独具个性。对于时装意识强的人来说，现在最新的时装潮流是尝试不同的款式，努力形成个人风格，也就是我们所说的“个人审美情趣”。这种风格或者“审美情趣”不仅要适合你的身材，而且要适合你的人生观和个人见解。

    不过这种新的选择自由并没有导致今年时装领域的大混乱。米兰、巴黎、纽约和伦敦这些主要时装中心产生了三种主要款式：浓饰重彩的“博合”式；“少而益善”的流线式以及“混合搭配”的新时式。那么，你的款式是哪一种呢？

    一旦你发现什么式样适合你的身材和个性，尽量保持这种穿着。对自己及所穿的服装要有信心。当然，拥有个人风格并不是说让自己的时装风格永远不变。要用自己的个人审美情趣来过滤新的时装潮流对自己的影响。记住：你的个人审美情趣是你内心世界的展现。
