六级话题fashion
Fashion1.The definition of fashionFirstly, let’s think about what is fashion. Some people hold the view that fashion means beautiful clothes. Just like some people dress in the new style of clothes and are very attractive to others. However, fashion is actually very broad. It includes the latest movies, new styles of clothes, food and some activities. We used to hear some people talking in a fashionable way. They use the words from the web such as Gei Li, Shen Ma and so on. It’s also a kind of fashion. In a word, fashion means popular things and behavior. If so many people do the same thing at the same time period, then it can be called fashion.(1)So what’s fashion in your mind?2.The advantages and disadvantages of fashionFor the benefits of fashion, I think the most important one is that the fashionable people are always well-informed. They pay close attention to the new stuff, so they tend to learn the new things very fast. Also, if you dress in some fashionable clothes, you may make people feel fresh, but d on’t go beyond to make people astonished because your clothes are too special. Just like me, if I dress in the new clothes, I always feel delighted.But we can’t ignore the disadvantages. Fashionable things are always expensive. If you go to the department store, you always find that there is always no discount for the newly arrived goods, but for the old one, you can get a great discount. That’s why my mother always likes to buy T-shirts in winter and buy coats in summer. More importantly, fashion changes so fast that you will soon find your newly bought jacket is out of fashion. If you chase fashion, it will cost you much time. Maybe you just can’t focus on your study and work.In spite of the fact that fashion has brought people a great pleasure and conve nience, fashion doesn’t always mean the good things. We should not follow fashion blindly, for example smoking might seem very fashionable but it’s not good for our health, dying hair might be fashionable among the young girls but it’s not good too.(2)Why do people like fashionable things？(3)Do you think fashion change at different times? If so, why does fashion change?3.The persons who lead fashionIt’s very obvious that mostly the famous stars and singers lead fashion. But can you find out more? Actually, when we browse the website every day, we are influenced by the news and all the new things, for example the Internet Slang. The Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf used to be popular because the TV series are so popular.4.Fashion in the past, at present and in the future(4)Do you know what were fashionable when your parents were young?In my childhood, rubber band jumping was so popular that almost every girl could jump it well. It was great. I used to be good at too. You know, I could jump very high. Well, let me think the boys loved playing with mud and playing hide and seek. For my parents, it would be very luxurious if they could afford a bike. In the old days, people didn’t have so many ways of entertainment and there were no extra money for them to buy something they like. More importantly, the technology was not developed. It’s hard to imagine people are using Iphone4 now when twenty years ago few people could afford a simple telephone.(5)What’s fashionable now?(organize your own answer and explain your reasons)So me people say Ipad, some say raising a pet, some say low carbon life, what’s your answer?(6)What will be fashionable in the future? Use your imagination and explain why.5.School uniform(7)What’s your school uniform like? （color, big or small, loose or not, when/wear）If you can design your own school uniform, how will you make it?Many young students hate school uniform as they think it’s out of fashion. You know, usually the school uniform is old-fashioned. Others don’t like it because school uniform can’t fit them well, either too big or too small. There are still others who dislike it because it’s not comfortable. But is school uniform necessary? (6)What are the advantages and disadvantages of school uniform? If all the students dress in school uniform, it looks very neat. So if there are some important activities, it will bevery formal. Except this, students will not waste their time on choosing what to wear every day. School uniform is very cheap. Parents can save some money if the children wear school uniforms. So why not wear it?6.My experience with fashion(8) Are you a fashionable person? Why or why not?(9) Who is the most fashionable one in your family? Is it your mother?(10) Who is the most fashionable one in your class?(11) What kind of clothes do you like? Does your mother choose clothes for you? If so, do you give your opinion?(12) What’s the most fashionable place have you been to? Is it different from Beijing?7. Fashion in the society(13) Have you ever seen someone wearing tattoo? How do you feel about it? Nowadays it’s quite common to see some people wearing tattoo. Personally, I don’t like it. It looks very strange to me. Maybe it’s also not good for our health.(14) Have you ever seen men wearing earrings?Yeah, I often see men wearing earrings especially on TV. For some of them, it makes them look very cool, but I still think earrings are for girls. I don’t think they are fashionable even if they wear them.(15) If someone is not fashionable, are you willing to make friends with him or her? Do you think we should judge a person from his or her appearance?Well, when I make friends, I never think about whether they are fashionable or not. I’m willing to make friend s with the people who are kind and considerate. As a proverb goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. It will be better if we have the same hobby, so we can have a lot to talk about. I think it’s not right to judge a person from the appearance. The talented people are usually not showy. On the contrary, the people who like show off often turn out to be not so good ones.。

The First McDonald's RestaurantEven though the first McDonald's restaurant sold only hamburgers and French fries, it still became a cultural symbol. Now, in the Southern California city of Downey, people are trying to save the first McDonald's restaurant in history.McDonald's, though, says the building should be torn down.Built in 1953, the restaurant in Downey, California, is the oldest of all the Golden Arches in America, and has the earliest McDonald's building design.Many people have good memories of that old McDonald's.These people are angry that the building is now in danger of being destroyed, along with their memories.McDonald's explains that the building was damaged in an earthquake, and therefore needs to be torn down. Many people in the town of Downey don't agree with this line of thinking, though.One woman says, "I think it's terrible. They are using the earthquake as an excuse. It's a big lie."Another Downey resident remarks, "I am so upset. They don't respect the public at all. They haven't even tried. They could do some small repairs and make it a good restaurantagain."McDonald's managers say the restaurant is losing money at that location. There is no room for a drive-thru window, or for seating inside.After the earthquake, they say it was impossible to fix.The managers want to build a copy of this building at another location instead.Building inspectors, on the other hand, say that the structure can be repaired, but that it will be expensive. Many people say that McDonald's can certainly afford to pay that amount.Some think that McDonald's real reason for wanting to close down the restaurant has nothing to do with money.Modern McDonald's restaurants often have a sign claiming that a man named Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's restaurant in Illinois in 1955. The truth, however, is that Mr. Kroc actually learned the fast food business from Dick and Mac McDonald in ter, Mr. Kroc bought their restaurants.Thus, many people in Downey think McDonald's is trying to change history, though the company denies this.To local historians, this explanation makes total sense. One historian said, "We should not rewrite the past. Ray Kroc did not invent McDonald's. The McDonald brothers did."These days, a group of historians want the building tobe added to the National Register of Historic Places so that the city of Downey will be able to stop McDonald's from tearing the building down. The McDonald's managers are very angry, and have abandoned the structure.Everyone hopes that the McDonald's managers and the people of Downey will soon find peace. The building is still there, but boards cover the windows.Even so, people drive by to remember their McDonald's, taking pictures of a moment in history before it gets taken away.第一家麦当劳餐馆虽说第一家麦当劳餐馆只售汉堡包和薯条，它还是成为了一种文化象征。

他们那个年代设计出的经典服装往往能穿越时空，永葆魅力。
而如今，在这个制造流行的年代，一场接一场的时装秀让人眼花缭乱，时尚好似“浮云”，经典变得越来越难以企及。

2. Cardin also said that when he launched his own label in 1950 he was told that what he was doing was "impossible" and that only belief in himself and obsession carried him through.【佳译】卡丹还说，当他在1950年开创自己的品牌时，人们都说他在做一件“不可能成功的事情”，是他对自己的信念和对服装设计的痴迷才帮助他走到了今天。

时尚的快速变迁英文作文
时尚的快速变迁英文作文英文：Fashion is constantly changing, and it's hard to keep up with the latest trends. Every year, new styles emerge and old ones fade away. The rapid pace of change in the fashion industry is driven by a number of factors, including consumer demand, technological innovation, and celebrity influence.One of the biggest drivers of fashion trends is consumer demand. People are always looking for the latest and greatest styles, and fashion companies are constantly trying to keep up with their ever-changing tastes. This means that designers are always coming up with new ideas and experimenting with different fabrics, colors, and patterns.Another factor that contributes to the rapid pace of change in fashion is technological innovation. Advances inmanufacturing processes and materials have made it easier than ever for designers to create new and innovative clothing. For example, 3D printing technology has allowed designers to create intricate and unique pieces that would have been impossible to make by hand.Finally, celebrity influence also plays a big role in shaping fashion trends. When a celebrity wears a particular outfit or accessory, it can quickly become a must-have item for fans. This is why many fashion companies partner with celebrities to create their own clothing lines or endorse their products.Despite the rapid pace of change in fashion, there are some timeless styles that never go out of fashion. For example, a well-tailored suit or a little black dress will always be in style, no matter what the latest trends may be.中文：时尚的变迁是一个不断变化的过程，很难跟上最新的潮流。
时尚的快速变迁英文作文
时尚的快速变迁英文作文英文：Fashion is constantly changing and evolving. What is considered fashionable today may not be fashionable tomorrow. The rapid pace of change in the fashion industryis due to several factors, including the influence of celebrities, the rise of social media, and theglobalization of fashion.Celebrities have a huge impact on fashion trends. Whena celebrity wears a certain outfit, it can instantly become popular and start a trend. For example, when Kate Middleton wore a blue Issa dress to announce her engagement to Prince William in 2010, the dress sold out within hours andsparked a trend for blue dresses. Similarly, when Rihanna wore a sheer Swarovski crystal gown to the 2014 CFDA Awards, it influenced the trend for sheer and crystal-embellished clothing.Social media has also played a significant role in the fast-paced nature of fashion. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok allow fashion influencers to share their outfits and styles with millions of followers, instantly making them popular and starting new trends. The rise of fast fashion retailers like Zara and H&M also means that new styles and trends can be produced and sold quickly, keeping up with the demand for the latest fashion.Finally, globalization has made fashion more accessible and diverse. With the rise of online shopping and international shipping, people can now access fashion from all over the world. This has led to a mixing of different styles and trends, creating a more eclectic and diverse fashion landscape.In conclusion, the fast-paced nature of fashion is due to the influence of celebrities, the rise of social media, and the globalization of fashion. These factors have led to a constantly changing and evolving fashion industry, where what is fashionable today may not be fashionable tomorrow.中文：时尚不断变化和发展。

时尚演变过程英语作文
时尚演变过程英语作文Fashion is a never-ending cycle of trends and styles that come and go with the times. Sometimes it's all about the retro look, bringing back the styles of our grandparents' era. Other times, it's about pushing the boundaries and creating something completely new.Remember when jeans were considered casual and only worn outside the office? Now, they're a staple in almost every wardrobe, from high-end fashion labels to your local discount store. Fashion is about adapting and evolving with the times.Colors play a huge role in fashion too. One year, it's all about pastel shades and soft tones, and the next, it's bold and bright hues that take over. I remember when neon colors were all the rage, and everyone was wearing something that glowed in the dark!Accessories can make or break an outfit. From statementjewelry to funky hats, they're the finishing touches that can turn a simple ensemble into a fashion statement. And don't forget about shoes! They can be the most exciting part of any outfit, whether it's a pair of killer heels or a pair of comfy sneakers.But fashion isn't just about clothes and accessories. It's also about self-expression and confidence. It's about finding what makes you feel good and wearing it with pride. So don't be afraid to experiment and try new things. Fashion is supposed to be fun, after all!。
服装十年前与现在的变化作文英文
服装十年前与现在的变化作文英文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Fashion Changes: Then and NowHello everyone! Today, I want to talk about how fashion has changed over the past ten years. It's amazing to see how our clothes have transformed and become different from what they used to be. Let's take a journey through time and explore the fashion trends of the past and present!Ten years ago, in 2014, people wore clothes that were quite different from what we wear now. Back then, skinny jeans were really popular. Everyone wanted to have a pair of tight-fitting jeans that hugged their legs. It was all about looking slim and stylish. Girls wore colorful leggings and paired them with long, flowy tops. Boys liked to wear graphic tees with their favorite bands or superheroes. It was a time when bright neon colors were "in" and everyone wanted to stand out.But now, in 2024, fashion has changed a lot. Comfort and sustainability are the new trends. People still care about looking good, but they also want to feel comfortable in what they wear.Loose-fitting clothes, like joggers and oversized sweaters, have become really popular. People are choosing clothes made from eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton and recycled fabrics, to help protect our planet.Another big change is the rise of athleisure wear. It's a combination of athletic wear and casual clothing. Now, you can see people wearing yoga pants, leggings, and sports shoes not only for exercising but also for everyday activities. It has become trendy to dress sporty and casual at the same time. Even dresses and skirts have become more sporty, with the addition of sneakers or sporty sandals.Accessories have also evolved over the years. In the past, big statement jewelry was popular, with large earrings and chunky necklaces stealing the spotlight. But now, minimalism is the key. Delicate jewelry, such as thin chains and small earrings, is more fashionable. People prefer to keep it simple and elegant.Moreover, technology has played a big role in fashion. Nowadays, you can find smartwatches and fitness trackers that not only tell the time but also monitor your health and track your fitness goals. These high-tech accessories have become a part of our daily lives and fashion statements.In conclusion, fashion has changed a lot in the past ten years. From tight-fitting skinny jeans and bright neon colors toloose-fitting athleisure wear and eco-friendly materials, we have seen a shift towards comfort and sustainability. Minimalistic accessories and technology-driven fashion have also become popular. It's exciting to see how fashion evolves and reflects the changing times. Who knows what the next ten years will bring? Let's wait and watch how fashion continues to surprise us!I hope you enjoyed reading about the changes in fashion over the years. Fashion is always evolving, and it's fun to see how our style choices change with time.篇2Clothes Through The YearsHi there! My name is Emma and I'm going to tell you all about how clothing styles have changed over the past ten years or so. It's crazy how fast fashion moves - the clothes I wore as a little kid already look super outdated and silly to me now!When I was really little, probably around 5 or 6 years old, I remember being really into wearing dresses with lots of bright, vibrant colors and patterns. My favorites were the ones with funky designs like polka dots, rainbows, or anything withanimated characters from TV shows on them. I had this one rainbow dress with My Little Pony prints all over it that I absolutely loved and refused to take off for weeks at a time. My mom had to practically pry it off me to get it washed!Another huge trend back then was anything that had phrases or silly sayings printed on it. T-shirts, dresses, you name it - if it had a funny phrase like "Princess in Training" or "Little Monster" printed on it in big, bold lettering, I wanted it. I remember begging my parents for this one pink t-shirt that just had the words "ROAR" printed across the front in zebra stripes. Looking back, it was pretty obnoxious, but hey - I thought I was so cool wearing it!Accessories were also a big deal. Anything colorful, glittery, or oversized was the hottest thing. Chunky plastic bangles, neon hair clips, and those big, gaudy pendant necklaces were all the rage. I had a whole drawer full of hair accessories like giant rhinestone barrettes and sparkly headbands. Wearing them all at once was definitely a look!Shoes were also super over-the-top back then. My friends and I loved anything with lights, ridiculous amounts of jewels or embellishments, or crazy patterns. Looking at photos now, our shoes look so impractical and garish, but we were absolutelyobsessed. Light up sneakers, shoes with weird animal prints, sandals with gem-studded straps - you name it, we wore it. Comfort was an afterthought!Nowadays, kids' clothing trends have definitely shifted to be a bit more toned down and minimalistic. Bold patterns and super bright colors are still around, but not quite as overwhelming as they used to be. Clothes with animated characters or cheesy slogans are also less popular now.A lot of the styles I see kids wearing today have more of a laid-back, athleisure kind of vibe. Loose t-shirts, joggers, hoodies, and sneakers are everywhere these days. It's much more casual and comfy. That doesn't mean things are boring though! Lots of kids get creative by mixing bright pops of color or fun patterns into their outfits to make them stand out.Off-the-shoulder tops, ripped jeans, and distressed looks are also super trendy right now. It's a bit of an edgier, street style inspired look compared to just a few years ago. Accessories have also shifted to be a bit cooler and more grown up, like sporty baseball caps, chunky sneakers, and small hoop earrings instead of the big, gaudy stuff I used to wear.Even at my elementary school, you can see kids dressing much more maturely now. Whereas a few years ago it was allabout dressing as vibrantly and maximalist as possible, a lot of the older grade school kids are starting to dress in a more pared down, minimalist way. Clean lines, neutral colors, and athleisure inspired outfits are super popular, giving off a cool, laid-back vibe.That's not to say that younger kids have totally ditched bright colors and wacky patterns though! While the older elementary schoolers have shifted to a more minimalist look, the fashion for the little kids is still pretty whimsical and fun. Lots of rainbow motifs, animal prints, and vibrant colors like I used to wear.One thing that has remained constant through the years is kids' love of anything shiny, glittery, or iridescent. Metallic fabrics, shimmery makeup, and holographic accessories are still hugely popular. Slapping some sparkle on an outfit is an easy way to make it feel special and fun. I guess some things never really go out of style for kids!It's been really fascinating for me to look back at how my own sense of style has evolved as I've gotten older, as well as observing the changing clothing trends among my peers. While I used to be drawn to the boldest, loudest styles as a little kid, I've definitely gravitated more towards understated, casual looks asI've gotten older. My friends have more or less followed the same trajectory.I'm really curious to see how kids' fashion will continue to evolve and change over the coming years. Based on how quickly trends come and go, I'm sure the popular styles will be something completely different and unexpected in just a few years time. One thing's for sure though - kids will always manage to put their own fun, whimsical spin on the latest clothing fads! I can't wait to see what they come up with next.篇3Fashion: Then and NowHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a 10-year-old girl who loves to talk about fashion. Today, I want to share with you how clothes and styles have changed over the past ten years. It's crazy to think about how different things were when I was just a baby!Let's start with what kids wear nowadays. These days, it's all about being comfortable and casual. We love our leggings, joggers, and oversized hoodies. Sneakers are a must-have for everyone, from little kids to teenagers. Brands like Nike, Adidas,and Vans are super popular. We also can't get enough of graphic tees with funny sayings or pictures of our favorite characters.Back in 2013, when I was just a baby, kids' fashion was a little different. Sure, we still wore comfy clothes like sweatsuits andt-shirts, but there was more of a focus on dressing up. Little girls often wore dresses or skirts with tights and Mary Jane shoes. Boys would wear collared shirts and khaki pants or shorts. Sneakers were mostly for playing outside, not for everyday wear.These days, kids have a lot more freedom to express themselves through their clothes. We can mix and match different styles, from sporty to boho chic. It's all about finding what makes you feel confident and comfortable.Nowadays, my parents (and their friends) have a much more casual style. Mom loves her stretchy pants and tunics, while Dad is all about jeans and polo shirts. Athleisure wear, like yoga pants and hoodies, has become totally acceptable for running errands or even going to work in some cases.One major change in adult fashion has been the rise of sustainable and eco-friendly clothing. Ten years ago, not many people thought about the environmental impact of their clothes. But now, there's a growing movement towards buying clothesmade from recycled materials or supporting brands that use ethical manufacturing practices.Another big trend in recent years has been gender-neutral fashion. Clothing lines are moving away from strict men's and women's sections, offering more unisex styles that anyone can wear. This allows people to express themselves without being confined to traditional gender norms.When it comes to accessories, there have been some fun changes too. In 2013, everyone was obsessed with big, chunky statement necklaces and stacking tons of bracelets. These days, minimalist jewelry is more popular, with dainty necklaces, stackable rings, and simple stud earrings being all the rage.Shoes have also undergone a major transformation. While high heels and dressy flats were common in 2013, today's footwear is all about comfort and practicality. Sneakers have become a fashion statement, with people rocking everything from classic Converse to chunky "dad" sneakers. Slides and fuzzy slippers have also become acceptable outside-the-house footwear.As you can see, fashion has changed a lot in the past decade. We've moved towards more casual, comfortable, and expressive styles. But who knows what the next ten years will bring? Maybewe'll all be wearing high-tech, self-drying clothes or shoes that can walk for us!One thing is for sure – fashion will keep evolving, and we'll all have fun experimenting with new trends and finding our unique styles. After all, clothes are more than just fabric; they're a way to show the world who we are.篇4Clothes Now and ThenHi there! My name is Emma and I'm in the 5th grade. Today I want to talk about how clothing has changed a lot in just the past 10 years. It's crazy how different the styles and trends are now compared to when I was a little kid!When I was really little, like 4 or 5 years old, I remember lots of kids wearing things like tutus, leg warmers, and those big poofy dresses for girls. The dresses had all these bright colors and wild patterns like polka dots, zigzags, and swirls. Some of them even had things like sequins or ruffles sewn onto them to make them extra poofy and fancy.For boys, I feel like a lot of the little guys wore graphict-shirts with characters from TV shows and movies on them.Things like Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were really popular. Pair those with some shorts or sweatpants and that was like the go-to outfit for energetic little dudes.As I got a bit older, around 6 or 7, I started noticing more athleisure wear becoming super trendy. You had all these little kids wearing leggings, joggers, hoodies, and otherathletic-inspired casualwear. It was all about being comfortable but still looking stylish in that athletic kind of way.The other big trend I remember from back then were those super tight and skinny jeans. I'm talking jeans so skinny they were practically painted on! A lot of the "cool" kids rocked those with simple t-shirts or flannel shirts. The boys also went through a phase of wearing those snapback caps with the flat brims.But oh man, have things changed in the last few years or what? These days, it's all about that baggy, oversized, street style look. Kids are sporting these massive hoodies, shirts, and pants that are like three sizes too big. I guess the idea is to look kind of sloppy but secretly stylish at the same time?Constantly seeing kids with their pants sagging down past their butts is basically the norm nowadays. I don't really get the appeal, but a lot of my friends think it looks trendy and cool tohave your underwear exposed like that. To each their own, I guess!One trend I'm definitely not a fan of is the "andro" or androgynous look that's gotten so popular. More and more kids, even little ones, are trying to dress in this ambiguous style where it's hard to tell if they're a boy or girl. I think kids should just dress how they want without worrying about fitting into narrow gender norms. But maybe that's just me being old-fashioned!Accessories are also a huge deal in 2023/2024 compared to a decade ago. Back in my preschool and early elementary days, the most exotic accessories were maybe some bright plastic bangles or a cute hair clip. These days, kids are decking themselves out with chunky sneakers, crossbody bags, bucket hats, you name it. Watches made a major comeback too after being pretty lame for years.I also feel like there's just a bigger focus on personal expression through fashion compared to 10 years ago. Kids are getting way more experimental and taking bigger risks with mixing and matching different styles. You'll see a kid rocking a vintage 90s look one day and then a full-on hypebeast streetwear fit the next. Anything goes these days!Another major change is the rise of gender-neutral clothing aimed at kids. You're starting to see a lot more brands and stores with lines that aren't split between "boys" and "girls" sections. The clothes use more muted, neutral colors and patterns so they can be worn by anyone. As society gets more accepting and open-minded, I think those types of genderless fashions for kids will only become more mainstream.The last big shift I've noticed is around sustainability and eco-friendly clothing for young people. With climate change and all the environmental issues we're facing, a growing number of kids and parents are trying to purchase clothes made from recycled materials, organic fabrics, etc. Thrift stores and used clothing apps are also blowing up as affordable alternatives to fast fashion.Second-hand clothes used to be seen as something only poor kids would wear out of necessity. But now it's become this whole trendy, environmental thing for kids of all backgrounds to buy thrifted or pre-owned garments. Pretty cool if you ask me!So those are some of the major ways I feel like kids' clothing has evolved over the past 10 years or so. From the rise of streetwear and genderless fashion, to the focus on sustainableapparel, to simply taking more risks with self-expression - the world of children's style is constantly shape-shifting.Who knows whatcrazy new trends will emerge in the years ahead? Maybe kids a decade from now will be wearing intelligent fabrics that can change colors or something! One thing's for sure, though: I'm just glad I don't have to squeeze into those suffocating skinny jeans anymore. Phew!篇5Changes in Clothing: Ten Years Ago and NowHi everyone! Today, I want to talk to you about something really interesting – how clothing has changed over the past ten years. It's amazing how fashion trends come and go, and how our clothes reflect the times we live in.Ten years ago, back in 2014, things were quite different. Let's start with the clothes we wore. In those days, baggy jeans were really popular. Everyone wanted to wear pants that were loose and comfortable. T-shirts with big logos or cartoon characters were also in style. And remember those colorful rubber bracelets that we used to wear on our wrists? They were a big hit too!But now, in 2024, things have changed quite a bit. Skinny jeans are all the rage! People love wearing pants that fit snugly on their legs. T-shirts with simple designs or inspirational quotes have become really popular. And instead of rubber bracelets, we now have smartwatches that can do so much more than just tell the time!Another big change is the rise of sustainable fashion. Ten years ago, people didn't talk much about the environment and how our clothes impact it. But now, we understand the importance of making eco-friendly choices. Many clothing brands are using organic materials, recycled fabrics, and reducing waste in their production process. It's great to see that we are becoming more conscious of our planet!Technology has also played a big role in changing our clothes. Ten years ago, we didn't have clothes that could change colors or control our body temperature. But now, we have amazing inventions like temperature-regulating jackets and color-changing sneakers. It's like wearing clothes from the future!Fashion trends have also become more diverse and inclusive over the years. Ten years ago, there were certain standards for how boys and girls should dress. But now, we understand thateveryone should be free to express themselves through their clothes. It doesn't matter if you're a boy who likes pink or a girl who likes sports jerseys – you can wear whatever makes you happy!In conclusion, clothing has changed a lot in the past ten years. From baggy jeans to skinny jeans, from rubber bracelets to smartwatches, and from ignoring the environment to embracing sustainable fashion, we have come a long way. Fashion is always evolving, and it's exciting to see what the future holds for clothing. So, let's embrace our unique styles, be conscious of the environment, and have fun with our clothes!I hope you enjoyed reading about the changes in clothing over the past ten years. Fashion is a fascinating topic, and it's interesting to see how it evolves. Remember, no matter what you wear, the most important thing is to be confident and comfortable in your own skin.篇6The Evolution of Fashion: A Decade of Daring TrendsHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to take you on a journey through the wild and wacky worldof fashion over the past 10 years. Get ready for some serious outfit envy and fashion flashbacks!When I was just a baby, the early 2010s were all about skinny jeans and big, bold prints. Floral patterns and bright, neon colors were everywhere. It was like a rainbow had exploded all over people's wardrobes! My mom loves showing me old photos of herself rocking those tight jeans and flowy tops with huge sunglasses. She says she felt like a total fashionista back then.As I got a little older, things started to shift. Around 2015, the "athleisure" trend took over. Suddenly, it was cool to wear workout gear like leggings and sports bras as everyday clothing. Brands like Lululemon and Athleta became super popular. Even celebrities were spotted running errands in yoga pants! My older sister lived in her athletic apparel, claiming it was just so comfy. I remember begging my parents for my own trendy activewear sets.The late 2010s brought back some vintage vibes with mom jeans and crop tops making a major comeback. Oversized denim, funky patterns, and showing a little midriff were all the rage. My friends and I loved raiding our moms' closets for thoseold-school gems. We'd tie up our t-shirts, cuff our jeans, and topit all off with chunky sneakers for the ultimate 90s vibe. Our parents just didn't understand our "mom jeans" obsession!As the 2020s rolled around, fashion got bold and daring. Neon colors were everywhere again, but this time they were blinding bright. Slime green, highlighter yellow, and traffic cone orange were must-haves. Patterns became trippy and hypnotic, with swirls, checkers, and zigzags galore. Oversized looks were also in, with big baggy pants, massive hoodies, and dresses that doubled as tents. It was like walking performance art!These days, it's all about making a statement through your outfit. Logos and graphic prints are super hot, with people treating their clothes like walking billboards. Those trendy branded hoodies, t-shirts, and bags are all over my school's hallways. Mixing and clashing patterns is also really in style right now – the crazier the print combo, the better! Just yesterday, I saw someone rocking plaid pants, a zebra striped top, and a camo jacket. Talk about an explosion of prints!Accessories have also gone through a major glow-up in the past decade. Chunky sneakers have gotten chunkier, with some styles looking like they have mini-trampolines attached to the soles. Bucket hats have made a big comeback, with designs ranging from sleek and sporty to totally out-there. Sparklysequins, fuzzy fabrics, and vibrant colors make these hats perfect for standing out. Fanny packs, once considered lame by our parents, are now the hottest bag around. You can find them in every color and pattern imaginable!I'd be lying if I said I understood all the fashion trends from the past 10 years. Looking back at old family photos, my parents and older siblings wore some pretty wild outfits back in the day! Lowriseflared jeans, trucker hats, and velour tracksuits will forever haunt my nightmares. I'm just glad those particular trends have stayed in the past where they belong.Fashion is all about self-expression and having fun with your look. While some decades brought understated and minimalist vibes, others went totally over-the-top. One year, everyone seemed to dress like eccentric aunties in bright floral prints and geometric patterns. The next, it was like the entire world raided their dads' closets for oversized blazers, baggy pants, and dad sneakers galore.Through all the daring denim, whacky accessories, and blinding neons, one thing remains true – fashion always finds a way to shock and delight us. Who knows what daring looks the next decade will bring? Maybe we'll all be rocking tutus over ripped jeans or capes as everyday wear. One thing's for sure, uskids will keep having fun and making bold statements with our outrageous outfits!So there you have it – a whirlwind tour through fashion's glow-up over the past 10 years. While some trends were downright cringeworthy, others have me yearning for a time machine so I can raid my future self's closet. Whether you dress to impress or just want to be comfy, fashion will always be a fun way to express yourself. Here's to making our own wild fashion statements in the years to come!。

She expected Julie to give her one of the best hugs after seeing that dress but she was greatly disappointed. Not only did Julie not like the dress but she also gave a remark, “Mom, don’t you know I am not a baby anymore?” Sarah replied ，“Of course, you are not a baby and this dress will make you look so much mature.” But Julie just made a face and shut herself in her room, for that 13y ear o ld, her birthday party was ruined.After a few hours when Sarah agreed to go out for shopping with Julie, she was quite surprised at what Julie picked up. She wanted to buy a pink c olored pleated skirt (百褶裙) around 4 inches above her knees, an off t he s houlder (露肩型) white c olored top along with a black waist length jacket which covered her arms only till her elbows. Sarah realized why Julie was so mad at her choice. Julie simply wished to be dressed like a grown u p and white dots made her look like a small girl.

时尚变迁英文作文
时尚变迁英文作文英文：Fashion is constantly changing and evolving. It is a reflection of society and culture, and as such, it is influenced by a variety of factors such as technology, politics, and economics.In the past, fashion was much more conservative and traditional. For example, in the 1950s, women's clothing was very modest and emphasized a feminine silhouette. However, as society became more liberal and women's roles in society changed, fashion became more daring and experimental. In the 1960s, the mini skirt was introduced, which was a huge departure from previous fashion trends.Today, fashion is influenced by social media and the internet. Trends can spread quickly and easily, and people are able to express their individuality through their clothing choices. However, this also means that fashion canbe very fast-paced and disposable, with trends coming and going quickly.Overall, fashion is a reflection of our society and culture, and it will continue to evolve and change as we do.中文：时尚是不断变化和发展的。

Fashion Changes Too Fast: PierreCardin ★★★皮尔•卡丹：时尚风格转变太快导读：法国时装界元老皮尔·卡丹最近表达了对现在时尚界的担忧。
他们那个年代设计出的经典服装往往能穿越时空，永葆魅力。
而如今，在这个制造流行的年代，一场接一场的时装秀让人眼花缭乱，时尚好似“浮云”，经典变得越来越难以企及。
来源：路透社2010年11月9日难词解释：1. couture n. 服装设计(师)或其服装店2. doyen ['d?i?n] n.元老3. obsession [?b'se??n] n.着迷4. addiction [?'dik??n] n. 沉溺, 上瘾5. household ['haush?uld] adj.家庭的难句释义：1. "There are lots of designs that are very beautiful, crazy, fantastic on the eyes, but they are not making fashion for tomorrow.”【佳译】“现在的很多服装设计都很漂亮，创意绝伦，吸引眼球，但这些服装不是面向未来设计的。
”【精析】they are not making fashion for tomorrow，意思是“这些不是面向未来而设计的服装”，也就是说这些服装的流行寿命太短了。
2. Cardin also said that when he launched his own label in 1950 he was told that what he was doing was "impossible" and that only belief in himself and obsession carried him through.【佳译】卡丹还说，当他在1950年开创自己的品牌时，人们都说他在做一件“不可能成功的事情”，是他对自己的信念和对服装设计的痴迷才帮助他走到了今天。
【精析】这句话里面有很多的that，要分清楚主次结构。
首先主句的谓语动词say后面that 引导的是一个宾语从句，在这个宾语从句中he was told that后又接两个并列的宾语从句，这里的第二个宾语从句that only belief in himself and obsession carried him through。
sth. carry one through，是“帮助某人度过难关的意思”。
译海拾贝：服装设计师皮尔•卡丹周二说，现在的服装推陈出新的速度太快了。
一年两次的时装发布会使得设计师很难设计出经典的服装款式。
皮尔•卡丹是在东京参加由某日本百货商场共同赞助的时装秀时发表上述观点的。
这位88岁的法国时装界元老还说，现在当个服装设计师要比他60年前刚踏进这一行时难得多。
他在新闻发布会上说：“战争结束那会儿，服装设计师紧缺。
而现在满世界都是服装设计师。
根本不可能每年甚至每六个月就转变一次时装风格。
”“现在的很多服装设计都很漂亮，创意绝伦，吸引眼球，但这些服装不是面向未来设计的。
你到处都可以看见它们，然而四五年过后，这些衣服就不再时尚。
”卡丹还说，当他在1950年开创自己的品牌时，人们都说他在做一件“不可能成功的事情”，是他对自己的信念和对服装设计的痴迷才帮助他走到了今天。
他说：“那时候别人告诉我，我想要做到的事情就好比是月球漫步，是不可能的。
但我相信，一个人总有一天会熬出头。
”“我痴迷于我的工作，这也是我为什么能够坚持做这么久的原因。
”皮尔•卡丹现在已经成为全世界家喻户晓的名字，他所经营的产品从时装到闹钟，一应俱全。
他也是首个开辟日本和中国高级时装市场的西方设计师，在20世纪50年代末和1975年分别进军日本和中国。
A Cellphone With A $7,900 Price Tag ★★★天价手机导读：最近，最新款韦图智能手机的发布会在纽约上东城的柏利希尔画廊举行。
韦图，诺基亚旗下的奢侈手机品牌，由名贵的钻石、黄金、珠宝和太空金属打造而成，纯手工加工的质感和高高在上的奢华气质让人怦然心动，但真正买得起的人却不多。
来源：《华尔街日报》2010年11月2日难词解释:1. Vertu 诺基亚旗下的奢侈手机品牌2. sapphire ['sæfair] n.宝石蓝3. concierge [.k?nsi'???] n.礼宾服务4. mingle ['mi?gl] v.使混合, 使结合5. ambassador [æm'bæs?d?] n.大使，代表6. adjacent [?'d?eisnt] adj.邻近的, 毗连的7. fondle ['f?ndl] v.爱抚, 溺爱难句释义：1. If it could type for me and think for me and get the dry cleaning, I would consider it.【佳译】如果这手机能为我打字，帮我思考问题，帮我把衣服拿去干洗，我可能会考虑买一部。
【精析】这是时装设计师索姆的一段话，很明显，他对这款是手机不感兴趣，他觉得花大价钱买这样一款奢侈机毫无必要。
2. Luxury is not about rational, it's about the emotional. Luxury is the liberty of choice.【佳译】奢侈和理性无关，这是个情感方面的问题。
奢侈就是选择的自由。
【精析】Luxury is the liberty of choice。
Vertu公司总裁乌斯汀给奢侈下的定义，解释了很多人想拥有奢侈品的心理，一种选择和拥有的快感。
译海拾贝：最近，最新款韦图智能手机Constellation Quest的发布会在纽约上东城的柏利希尔画廊举行。
这款手机有几种不同的金属外壳。
粉色或黑色蓝宝石屏幕款售价为7900美元，还有一款金黄色的则在25,000美元左右。
“这玩意儿要这么贵吗？”演员格雷尼尔一边摆弄着手机，一边问道，“难道它能帮你开车？”“如果这手机能为我打字，帮我思考问题，帮我把衣服拿去干洗，我可能会考虑买一部。
”时装设计师索姆说，“它很漂亮，可以用作胸针。
”“韦图手机的理念是什么？”金融家保罗问道，“就是让你拥有最昂贵的奢侈品？也许在中东或者中国这是一个地位的象征，可它不适合我。
我习惯用便宜货，我的朋友都知道。
”戈尔曼，韦图美洲区总经理拉着记者去看一款比较便宜的手机。
“看看这些蓝宝石按键、蓝宝石屏幕。
她接着又介绍了手机的礼宾服务功能，这项服务第一年免费，之后每年收费2000美元。
”“这手机有地图功能。
你输入你在纽约，手机就会告诉你有哪些地方可去。
”站在他们身旁的是韦图公司总裁乌斯汀。
他说，“我们在八年时间里售出了30万部韦图手机。
”别人问他为什么会有人买这种手机，他的回答是：奢侈和理性无关，这是个情感方面的问题。
奢侈就是选择的自由。
能够理解这种所谓的“选择的自由”的人非流行歌手希尔莫属了。
他买过六部韦图手机，如今是该公司新任的美国品牌大使。
他正在隔壁房间里喝水。
“吸引我的是其中蕴含的激情和勇气”，希尔一边温柔地摆弄着当晚早些时候拿到的Constellation Quest手机一边说。
Controversial advertisement ★★★惹来争议的广告导读：广告做的好，就能打响产品名气，打开产品的销路；但是一个不小心，广告也会令企业惹祸上身。
最近英国南部一条针对纽卡斯尔人的滑雪广告惹来巨大争议，其中暗含的地域歧视使英国东北部居民大为恼火……来源：英国《每日邮报》2010年10月25日难词解释：1. launch [l?:nt?] v.发动，推出2.

这款广告暗示乔迪人太穷了，滑不起雪。
【精析】主句部分A holiday firm has come under fire…。
come under fire的意思是“受到责难，饱受批评”的意思。
2. We are disappointed that this company is peddling an informed vision based on outdated stereotypes.【佳译】令我们感到失望的是这家公司在兜售一种陈旧的刻板的偏见。
【精析】句子主干we are disappointed that…。
that后接宾语从句，this company is peddling an informed vision based on outdated stereotypes。
peddle表示“兜售”。
an informed vision，意思是“一种观点”。
outdated stereotype指“刻板的陈见”。
译海拾贝：最近一家旅游公司因为发布了一款带有歧视性质的广告而备受争议。
这款广告暗示乔迪人太穷了，滑不起雪。
这家旅游公司名叫Directski，在它的广告海报上，一个滑雪者带着他的圣伯纳德犬。
广告的左上角是公司的创始人安东尼.柯尼斯的一句话，“我一直希望让所有人都能够滑得起雪，哪怕是乔迪人。
”不出所料，这家向欧洲和美国推销滑雪旅游的公司本来是打算在英国南部推广这款广告。
但他们应该想到这款广告在英国东北部引起了巨大争议，因此它没有出现在任何杂志上面。
马丁.卡拉南，英国东北部保守党议员昨天说，“这条广告真是让人失望，它反映了仍然广泛存在的对于乔迪人的陈旧的偏见。
”纽卡斯尔委员会的一位发言人也说，“事实上很多纽卡斯尔人都喜欢滑雪，它们只是不知道这家公司。
