維多利亞時期:今年秋冬時尚前沿

Founded by husband and wife Bernard and Laura Ashley in 1953, when they began printing textiles from the kitchen table of their London flat, the brand has built upon its rich design heritage to produce a beautiful collection of lifestyle products including fashion, home decorating, furniture and accessories.

愛思夫婦於1953年創立了羅蘭愛思這個品牌。從他們開始爲倫敦公寓裏的餐桌印刷貼紙時，這個品牌就基於它豐富的設計而創造了一系列包含時裝，房屋內飾，傢俱和配件等衆多產品在內的生活用品。

Born in Wales, Laura had a love of all things Victorian and Edwardian, which led to the longer length silhouettes and feminine styles that would become the company's trademark. They remain as relevant today as they were in the 1960s, when fashion switched from the mini to the maxi.

生於威爾士的羅蘭喜愛一切維多利亞時期和愛德華時期的物件。這使得女性化設計成爲了公司的標誌，也令二十世紀六十年代就開始風靡的長裙流行至今。

In honour of this heritage, the Laura Ashley design team has used the brand's iconic archive in Wales - a treasure trove of thousands of garments, photographs, antiques and more - as inspiration for their AW16 fashion collections. From lovingly revived archive prints, to reproductions of original pieces, the collections mark a bold return to the signature Laura Ashley heritage look, reinterpreted and brought into the 21st century.

出於對此傳統的尊重，羅蘭愛思設計團隊參考了他們位於威爾士的標誌性檔案館--一座網羅上千服裝，照片，古董及其它藝術品的寶庫--作爲他們2016年秋冬時裝系列的創意來源。從精心修復的檔案到古董的複製品，這一系列大膽地將羅蘭愛思的經典進行重新定義，並將其帶到了21世紀。

Inspired by the decadent romance of Victoriana, Portrait of Laura is a glamorous collection which reflects the bohemian spirit of the 1970s. Balloon sleeves, ruffles and pussybow neck ties sit alongside fringing, faux leather and sumptuous velvet for a striking look that can be dressed up or down. A signature heraldic print from the era features across several key pieces, including a stunning tie-neck maxi dress and balloon sleeve blouse, both cut from metallic threaded chiffons for a luxe finish. Other highlight pieces include a silk and lace high neck blouse - a beautiful reproduction of a late 1970s piece.

受維多利亞時期那種頹廢浪漫風格的啓發，富有魅力的羅蘭肖像系列體現了二十世紀七十年代的波西米亞風情--搭配以燈籠袖，荷葉邊和貓弓結，再用人造革和華麗的天鵝絨來作點睛之筆。彼時期代表性的紋章也作爲特色出現在了系列的幾個亮點服裝裏，包括一件驚豔的帶領結長連衣裙和燈籠袖女襯衫，這兩者都以螺紋雪紡爲面料來彰顯奢靡。此外還有一件蕾絲絲綢高領女襯衫，作爲七十年代晚期潮流的完美再現。

With its romantic and feminine feel, Free Spirit provides the perfect balance of whimsy and ethereal charm. Led by a show-stopping floral-tiered chiffon maxi dress, the collection features an abundance of exciting new shapes and fabrics which hark back to the original identity and handwriting of Laura Ashley. Floaty print blouses in autumnal shades of cinnamon and rust create a delicate edge, while cotton knits, British wool and faux suede add texture and structure.

自由意志系列基於其對浪漫的獨特感受，巧妙地將奇思妙想與飄渺的魅力結合起來。以一件令人驚歎的花卉雪紡長裙爲首，這個系列以大量新造型和新材質來重現羅蘭愛思的古典風格。這件秋季浮印女襯衫以棉、英國羊毛和人造麂皮絨爲材料製成紋理，再配以肉桂色和鏽色作爲花哨的鑲邊。

Completing the trio of heritage-inspired collections, Heirloom is a pretty capsule collection of casual separates, perfect for a softer and more relaxed feel. Centred on a neutral colour palette of mink, dusky pink and eau de nil, there are gentle prints such as the cabbage rose floral in muted tones and layering pieces such as simple marled knits or longline wool cardigans and gilets. Soft velvet appears on A-line skirts and slim leg trousers for a touch of luxury, while printed silk square scarves complete the heritage look.

作爲回溯經典系列中的最後一個，世傳之寶系列更傾向於休閒風格，主要給人以柔軟舒適的感受。毛衣和馬甲爲簡單的紗織或長線羊毛，上有暗粉或水綠這類中性顏色的貂皮，並在中心印有諸如西洋薔薇等色調柔和的圖案。A字裙和緊身褲用柔軟的天鵝絨來顯示其華麗，最後再以絲綢方巾使整體的復古風格得到昇華。
