女孩们的梦想职业：时尚造型师

 　　对于一个热衷时尚的女孩来说，究竟什么才是她梦寐以求的工作呢?模特?不，或许那只属于身材瘦削的节食女孩。可以确定她们的答案之一是时尚造型师。 For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no–that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.

　　越来越多的品牌为了扩大自身市场，纷纷在中国开设;户外广告不断增多，这或许也点燃了女孩心中渴望成为一名造型师的热情。时尚杂志公司里满是实习生的身影，各时尚品牌的人事经理也收到数以千计申请造型师职位的个人简历。 As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising¹ might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart. Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns², and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position.

　　“之前这个职业看上去是那么的高不可攀，但现在我发现它变得更加触手可及，”毕业于复旦大学中文专业，现于上海爱马仕任助理造型师，现年22岁的薛瑞表示。“在装扮模特方面，并无具体原则;你可以依据个人品位，尝试所有方法，使她(他)们变得漂亮且引人注目。” "It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature grad who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai. "There is no certain principle in dressing³ up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive."

　　一些专业人士表示薛瑞的话并没有错。“直觉告诉我，时尚已不再那么高高在上。人们已经意识到时尚是一个百万美元的行业，因此必须设法使它亲近人们的生活，”来自伦敦的造型师兼杂志编辑Katie Grand向《伦敦时报》表示。 Some professionals say that Xue's not mistaken. "My gut⁴ feeling is that fashion has stopped being so elitist. People have learnt that fashion can be a multimillion-dollar business, and with that you have to have a certain approachability," Katie Grand, a stylist and magazine editor based in London, told the London Times.

　　此项工作的魅力不仅仅在于各式各样，美轮美奂的服装。并且它也不再像过去那般：一份圈内人士的工作，没有赞誉，甚至薪水也少得可怜。如今造型师是一个分工明确，前途光明且薪水可观的职业。 The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous⁵ clothes. And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money. Now it's a career with a profile, prospects⁶ and pay packet.
