English to Italian: Italian Fashion Sets the Trends General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Source text - English In fashion there is one simple rule: what's hot is what's Italian. Italy is the trendsetter for the world in luxury fashion, and luxury of course sets the pace for trends in fast-fashion and mid-markets. Why is this?
Italy has some strong fashion peers, France and England among them, but no other country besides Italy has such a long-enduring and widespread tradition of making beautiful designs with the utmost attention to craftsmanship. Secret techniques have been passed down from artisan to artisan over many generations in Italy. Italian designers are immersed in this craftsman culture and it informs their designs and shapes their careers. It is important to understand that it is this craftsman's history alive today on the Italian runways when you see a breathtaking innovative couture collection in Milan.
Also, it is important to remember that Italian fashion designers, from the day they are born, are surrounded by some of the most beautifully accomplished art and architecture in the Western world. For example, in one afternoon a Roman designer can take a walk and experience the architecture of the Pantheon and Coliseum, the sculptures of Bernini in the piazzas, and the paintings of Caravaggio in the churches and museums. A Florentine designer can similarly enjoy the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It is no accident that Valentino and Bulgari produce bold beautiful designs in true Roman fashion and that Ferragamo translates the elegance of Florence in every shoe it makes.
Translation - Italian Nella moda esiste solo una semplice regola: quello che e' di moda e' Italiano. L'Italia rimane la fonte delle tendenze nel mondo del lusso e la direzione del lusso detta le tendenze nel mondo della moda veloce and nel mercato di medio livello. Perche' succede questo?
L'Italia ha alcuni contendenti forti, come Francia e Inghilterra,ma non esiste nessun altro paese oltre all'Italia con una antica e duratura tradizione nel creare meravigliosi modelli senza mai tralasciare l'attenzione al vero artigianato. Alcune tecniche segrete sono state tramandate da generazioni da artigiano a artigiano.
Gli stilisti italiani sono immersi nella cultura dell'artigianato che definisce i modelli e forme delle loro carriere. E' molto importante capire che e' questa storia dell'artigianato vive tuttora sulle passerelle Italiane ogni qualvolta si assiste a una collezione a Milano innovativa e da togliere il respiro.
E' anche fondamentale ricordare che gli stilisti Italiani, dal momento in cui sono nati, sono circondati da alcuni dei piu meravigliosi capolavori di arte e architettura del mondo occidentale. Per esempio uno stilista Romano puo' fare una passeggiata fra le architetture del Pantheon e del Colosseo, fra le sculture del Bernini nelle piazze e i dipinti di Caravaggio delle chiese e musei. Uno stilista di Firenze puo' avere una simile esperienza godendosi dei lavori di Leonardo Da Vinci e Michelangelo. Non e' un caso che Valentino e Bulgari abbiano creato audaci modelli in nome del vero spirito Romano e che Ferragamo riesca a trasmattere l'eleganze di Firenze in ogni scarpa.
