听到“时装周”三个字，你想到了什么？
纽约 巴黎 米兰...明星 奢侈 品牌 潮流...所有这些字眼都让人bling bling 不明觉厉。
那么问题来了，真正去到时装周，究竟是一种什么样的体验？
来听为纽约时装周工作的妹子Kara Nesvig是这么说的：
1.It’s not glamorous.
时装周一点也不光鲜亮丽
My family keeps sending me text messages about how jealous they are that I’m having this fancy time, and I keep reminding them that that’s not how it works.
我的家人一直发短信给我，说他们有多嫉妒我现在的光鲜，而我一直提醒他们事情并不是这样的。
It might work that way if you’re Kim Kardashian or Eva Chen, but for those of us who are working behind the scenes, it’s work, not a party.
如果你是金卡戴珊或是伊娃陈，时装周可能是光鲜的，但对我们这些幕后工作者来说，这是去工作，不是去派对。
Schlepping a giant suitcase full of shoes up and down to the subway during a September heatwave was the least fun experience of my life. There may not be any food besides some random crackers.
在9月的热浪中拖着一个装满了鞋子的巨大箱子上上下下地铁是我这辈子最不好玩的经历了。除了一些随便放着的饼干，那里可能没有别的食物了。
2.Your feet will hurt.
脚会痛
I worked four and a half years of retail, and somehow I totally forgot how bad your feet and lower back hurt after standing for hours on end. Don’t wear heels. Wear flats. Better yet, wear sneakers. Get insoles.
我曾在零售业工作了4年半，而我居然完全忘了连续站几个小时后脚和腰有多痛。高跟鞋穿不得。穿平底鞋。最好穿球鞋。垫上鞋垫。
3.Extra batteries are a must.
额外的电池是必需品
I can’t even tell you how many times I charged my phone. I carried a charger and a portable battery and went through both several times in the course of a day.
我都没法告诉你我要给手机充多少次电。我带了一个充电器和一个移动电池，一天时间里要给手机和移动电池各充电好几次。
4. Everyone knows everyone.
大家都互相认识
Throughout the course of a few shows, you see the same faces over and over. This is a good thing; we’re all in this together, you know.
在几场秀的过程中，你会一次次地看到同样的面孔。这是件好事；因为我们都在做同一件事，你懂的。
5. Oh, bloggers.
哦，还有博主。
They’re everywhere, probably wearing ballgowns or silly Gaga sunglasses. You can’t escape them.
哪哪都有他们，他们可能穿着舞会的裙子或戴着Gaga同款傻傻的墨镜。你是躲不开他们的。
6.It’s work. Fashion Week is a hustle.
时装周是工作，是很忙碌的。
You get up early to be on time, take crowded trains or navigate new neighborhoods to find the venues, don’t eat a whole lot and then come home exhausted to stuff your face with carbs.
为了准时抵达，你要很早起床，乘坐拥挤的火车，为了找到场地而在陌生的街区东张西望，吃不了多少东西，然后疲惫地回到家，随便塞些碳水化合物。
7.There’s no such thing as personal space.
时装周根本没有个人空间这种东西。
Working backstage means you are constantly bumping into other people, whether they’re makeup artists or bloggers. You get used to it. You may emerge with mysterious bruises.
在后台工作意味着你会常常撞到其他人，不管是化妆师还是博主。你慢慢就习惯了。而且你会发现莫名其妙的淤青。
8.It’s fun! The best part of a fashion show is right before it starts.
时装周很好玩！时装周最棒的部分是走秀开始前。
The models are dressed, made up and lined up ready to walk the runway. The designer is tweaking this fit and that seam. Hairstylists are spritzing one last spritz of hairspray to secure the hairstyle.
麻豆们都穿好了衣服，画好了妆，排好队等着去走秀。设计师会调一下这里调一下那里。发型师会最后喷一次发胶使发型定型。
Everyone is excited to see the results of all their hard work finally realized. The music starts and the excitement only heightens. The models go out one by one, then the designer takes his or her final bow and there’s lots of applause. Even if you’re backstage listening to the activity, it’s pretty magical.
每个人都迫不及待地想看到自己努力工作的最终结果。音乐响起，兴奋达到一个至高点。麻豆们一个接一个地走出去，然后设计师献上最后的一鞠躬，掌声响起来。即使你是在后台听着这些活动，也是相当地有魔力。
