1929年的上海名媛全程英语解说时尚

近期，“上海名媛群”成为网友热议话题。尽管有不少媒体质疑该群是否真实存在，但相关话题已经在网络上持续发酵，引发大量讨论。

有人认为，为了挤进上流圈子，用“多人拼团”的方式，花白菜价租、买奢侈品和奢侈体验来只为了发条炫耀的朋友圈，经营一个虚假的人设，这种爱慕虚荣的方式令人不齿。

也有人对此觉得没有什么问题，“除了虚荣点，这也是人家选择的生活方式”。无论如何，想要这种方式冒充富贵，必然是“假名媛（fake socialites）”没错了。

今天来分享一则珍贵的民国名媛视频，三位民国小姐姐面对镜头从容大方，分别用汉、英、粤语描述自己的发型和妆，这段视频拍摄于1929年，来自美国南卡罗来纳大学（University of South Carolina）的动态影像研究数据库（Moving Image Research Collections）。

作为一个中国女孩，用外语来描述时尚潮流并不容易，但我还是要试着给你们介绍一下在中国我们的穿衣打扮方式。

现代的中国女孩子在时尚上融合了东方与西方，这是我的晚礼服，上面的图案全部是手工绘制的，它和西方流行一样是短裙形制，但在高领部分保留了东方元素，和我们穿的所有裙装一样，这是一套雪纺天鹅绒的晚礼服。

如你所见，它有着不对称的裙线，展现了西方时尚风格的特殊之处，这种长盛不衰的穿搭，在中国的风尚潮流中自然是不会错过。

这套包括了大衣和连衣裙，适合穿着去逛上海滩以及其它的下午集会，这个中国女孩穿的日常连衣裙是当下最流行的常见着装，它特别的中国风，老少皆适合穿着。

我最喜欢穿的晚礼服是这个带有西班牙元素的晚袍（长晚礼服），这套晚礼服有着高腰线以及齐边长裙，设计上非常的巧妙，甚至能看出一些法兰西帝国的风格。

在最近的这些年，我们穿的长袍通常来自于巴黎，全部模仿巴黎风格所制作，比如眼前这一套，彩绸缝制，紫貂镶边。

说到波波头的风尚，我们通常会烫成像我这样的波浪卷发，翡翠耳环也超级火。

我们通常还会用胸针和戒指来进行搭配，怎么打扮自己的头发，对于中国的姑娘们也是一个难题，一些坚持忠实于传统而秀丽的中国风，另一些则更偏爱摩登波波头。

我左右两边的姑娘们对这个难题都找到了不同的解决办法。

现在先说说你的吧~我欢喜我的中国样子的长头发，可以戴花，耳环子，铜纽子，全是宝石镶的。

现在该你了~我喜欢我的头发，我的头发是向后卷起来的，我的玉耳环和珠子，完全是中国的样子。
