参考译文中国时装设计师渴望成长

1

二十年前，当中国时装设计师谢峰刚踏入时装界时，中国几乎没有时尚设计可言。当时的中国人穿的是朴素的衣服，厚实的布料，与外界没有太多的交往，没有时尚杂志，没有设计品牌，更没有诸如中国国际时装周这样的大型活动。谢峰说，“八十年代初我上大学的时候，时装设计不是一个专业，根本没把它看作文化的一部分。”2二十年间发生了巨大的变化。中国从一个时尚黑洞转变成为一个工业集中地，迅速成为数十亿美元的生产和国际零售交易中心。随着这个巨大转变的影子缓慢前进的是刚刚在北京举办的第七届一年一返回度的北京时装周上受到祝贺的中国时装设计界。此项活动还不是世界聚焦的焦点，但是时间不长，随着时尚界越来越多地关注中国，像谢峰这样的中国设计师可能会成为时尚界的未来。现在他们需要做的是等待，毕竟市场刚刚向他们开放。3

对于一小部分已经存在的中国设计师来说这是个不错的职位。他们当中的一些人踏入这个行业不到十年，在中国也还不是家喻户晓的名人。根据美林证券最近公布的一项调查预测，2014年中国消费者占据世界奢侈品市场的份额将从现在的百分之十一提高至百分之三十。将与目前具有核心地位的日返回本消费者持平，还将远远超过美国消费者。在未来十年美国的市场份额将从百分之二十六降至百分之十七。中国设计师像其他人一样在自己的土地上寻找着商业契机。“当然我想在世界范围内销售产品，但那不是优先考虑的。”中国的一名女性时装设计师罗铮说。1996年罗铮创立了自己的女性时装品牌欧柏兰奴。“目前我的重心放在中国的发展和销售上。”

4

从对近来时装周的反映看，中国时尚业的前途是光明的。行业起步后不到二十年，成功的潜力非常大。中国时尚业在不断地成长，受到全世界的关注只是时间问题。返回ExercisesReadingTaskLanguageinUseBlankFillingTranslation
