On a recent Friday night in New York, the partying in a trendy downtown hotel room started early. By 8.30pm, about 75 guests were packed into a bedroom and adjacent seating area, drinking Moët et Chandon, eating canapés, and talking loudly about designer fashion – which was all around them. Chanel bags dangled over a bathtub, a Rick Owens jacket was laid out on the bed, and a rack with Tom Ford-era Gucci leather and stretchy Helmut Lang dresses stood beside a window.
某周五晚上,在纽约市中心颇为新潮的酒店房间里举行的一场聚会早早开始了。到晚上8:30时,约有75名嘉宾挤满了卧室及其紧挨着的座位区,喝着酩悦香槟(Moët et Chandon),吃着法式吐司(canapés),兴高采烈地谈论着时装潮流,在他们的身边,香奈儿(Chanel)包耷拉在浴缸上,瑞克•欧文斯(Rick Owens)设计的夹克衫放在床上,而在挨着窗户的架子上,挂着汤姆•福特(Tom Ford)时期的古姿(Gucci)皮制品以及赫尔穆特•朗(Helmut Lang)设计的裙装。
