從眼鏡框中我學會了怎麼愛眼鏡
It was 1990 and I couldn’t choose which colour frames to have, so I had them all. A pair of very large, very round, very rainbowed spectacles, through which nine-year-old me saw a world that, perhaps inevitably, was mainly laughing and pointing. Shame on my mother for giving me the power to decide my own fate, but shame on me for letting them stain the way I’d feel about glasses for the rest of my life. Until now.
那是在1990年，當時我不知選哪種顏色的眼鏡框，於是我選擇了七彩的那一款。九歲的我正是通過這樣一副又大又圓的七彩的眼鏡框觀察着世界。也許不可避免人們對我的笑話和指點。我媽媽羞愧於讓我自己決定我的命運，然而直到現在都使我感到羞恥的是，讓他們蒙上了好像我的餘生離不開戴眼鏡的污點。
My favourite bit of fashion is when something you’ve overlooked for years suddenly sidles into view, all fresh and gleaming and covetable. This season, just as I was beginning seriously to contemplate laser eye surgery, it’s spectacles. The Gucci catwalks were particularly fabulous – androgynous, eccentric, romantic – and almost half of the looks were accessorised with glasses. Big round ones, sassy cat’s eye ones, clunky fat ones. MaxMara’s models were similarly bespectacled, while Prada and Chanel’s new eyewear campaigns (Kristen Stewart as an androgynous photographer, her hair like a fallen Elvis) make glasses look impossibly sexy.
我最喜歡的時尚是，當一些東西你已經忽略了幾年後，突然所有新鮮的、發亮的、羨慕的感覺映入眼簾。這個季節，就從我開始認真思考眼科激光術開始，它是眼鏡框。古琦的貓步的確很棒-中性的、古怪的、浪漫的，並且幾乎一半的外表展現都佩戴着眼鏡。大的圓的眼鏡、時髦的貓眼眼鏡、笨重的胖眼鏡，類似於麥絲瑪拉的眼鏡模型。而普拉達和香奈兒的新護目鏡競選（克里斯汀·斯圖爾特作爲一位中性攝影師，她的頭髮像一隻墮落的貓王）讓眼鏡看上去性感無比。
I’m clearly not the only one who’s been seduced. People are buying more glasses than ever – in 2014, the world’s largest eyewear company, Luxottica, registered an 18% increase in profits, generating more than ￡5.51bn in revenue.
我非常清楚我不是唯一被誘惑的那一個。人們購買眼鏡量比以往都要多，2014年，世界上最大的眼鏡公司-陸遜梯卡，註冊利潤增長18％，獲得了55.1億多英鎊的收益。
As celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Jared Leto and Meryl Streep begin to wear theirs on the red carpet, the glasses are becoming stars themselves. Lupita Nyong’o’s even have their own Twitter account.
作爲名人，比如安妮·海瑟薇，傑瑞德·萊託和梅麗爾·斯特里普，在走紅毯時開始戴眼鏡，眼鏡自己也正成爲明星。露皮塔·尼永奧甚至有它們自己的推特賬號。
