英国卫报：Gap是如何迷失自己的？(12)

　　On YouTube, reviewers gave forensic¹ analyses of the hoodie, discussing everything from the quality of the seams to the fall of the hood².

　　在YouTube上，评论家们对这件卫衣进行了分析，讨论了从接缝质量到引兜帽脱落的各种问题。

　　At the start of this year, Ye announced a collaboration³-within-a-collaboration with the high fashion brand Balenciaga, whose creative director, Demna, is a close friend of his.

　　今年年初，Ye宣布与高端时尚品牌巴黎世家合作，巴黎世家的创意总监德姆娜是他的密友。

　　(Like Ye, the designer recently dropped his last name, which is Gvasalia.)

　　(和叶一样，这位设计师最近也放弃了自己的姓氏--加瓦斯利亚。)

　　The announcement of Gap’s 10-year deal with Ye made a splash, in part because it was a far more substantial commitment than most designer collaborations.

　　Gap宣布与Ye签订为期10年的合作协议引起了轰动，部分原因是这是一项比大多数设计师合作更实质性的承诺。

　　Ye has long been a vocal⁴ fan of Gap, where he worked as a store employee during his teens.

　　Ye一直是Gap的铁杆粉丝，他十几岁时曾在Gap担任店员。

　　In 2015, he declared that one of his dreams was to be creative director of the brand -- “the Steve Jobs of Gap”.

　　2015年，他宣称自己的梦想之一是成为该品牌的创意总监--“盖璞的史蒂夫·乔布斯”。

　　Meanwhile, Gap has a lot to gain by tapping into Ye’s cultural capital and fan following, which drove the success of his earlier collaboration with Adidas.

　　与此同时，利用Ye的文化资本和粉丝群，Gap也能从中获益良多。Ye的文化资本和粉丝群推动了他与阿迪达斯的早期合作取得成功。

　　According to the New York Times, Gap believes it can reach $1bn in sales from Yeezy Gap by the five-year mark.

　　据《纽约时报》报道，Gap相信，到五年后，Yeezy Gap的销售额将达到10亿美元。

　　That’s assuming, of course, that we see more products.

　　当然，这是以我们看到更多产品为前提的。

　　It’s hard to overstate the sway that Ye has over the fashion choices of a certain slice of the population -- namely, “young men on the internet, and older men trying to retain their youth,” says James Harris, who co-hosts the menswear podcast Throwing Fits.

　　Ye对特定人群的时尚选择的影响力怎么说都不为过--这部分人就是“互联网上的年轻人，以及试图留住青春的年长男性，”男装播客节目《Throwing Fits》的联合主持人詹姆斯·哈里斯说。

　　Certain silhouettes⁵ that have become popular in menswear can be traced back directly to Ye.

　　在男装中流行的某些款式可以直接追溯到Ye。

　　Around the time he released his album Watch the Throne, he went for extra-long T-shirts – their length sometimes exaggerated with the addition of a leather skirt – worn with skinny pants and chunky sneakers.

　　在他发行专辑Watch the Throne的时候，他选择了超长的T恤--有时会因为增加了一条皮裙而显得夸张--搭配紧身裤和厚实的运动鞋。

　　Currently, Ye is all about vintage jeans tucked into huge boots, worn with a hoodie or jacket that is cropped, boxy, and bulky, with exaggerated shoulders.

　　目前，Ye的风格是把复古牛仔裤塞进大靴子里，再搭配一件七分、四四方方、臃肿、肩膀夸张的卫衣或夹克。

　　Harris dropped a movie poster for 1999’s The Iron Giant in our Zoom⁶ chat to show what he meant.

　　哈里斯在我们的Zoom聊天中放了一张1999年的《钢铁巨人》的电影海报，以表明他的意思。
