Napa Valley, the seat of California's wine industry, is not exactly a fashion mecca. The pastoral towns dotted around the vineyards are more Buddhist than Burberry, more caps-'n'-culottes than Chanel. So slightly tipsy heads turned from cellars to catwalks when it was recently announced that Basso & Brooke, British designers known for their use of fabric decorated with pornographic prints, had been appointed “designers in residence” to Turning Leaf, E&J Gallo's traditional wine brand.
加利福尼亚葡萄酒行业的坐标地纳帕山谷(Napa Valley)算不上是真正的时尚圣地。遍布于葡萄园区的田园小镇较之以乡村风格著称的时尚品牌巴宝莉(Burberry),多了一份佛教气息;球帽加裙裤的装束多过香奈儿的身影。随着E&J嘉露酒庄(E&J Gallo)近期宣布任命英国设计师组合巴索与布鲁克(Basso & Brooke)为其传统红酒品牌特宁•里弗(Turning Leaf)的“常驻设计师”,这里略带醉意的人们将注意力从酒窖转向了时尚T台。巴索与布鲁克以采用情色图案的装饰面料而闻名。
