(1)It took me a decade to realize that the world has no shortage of fashion designers who are capable of making trendy, elegant, sexy and sophisticated garments, but that it is badly in need of, simply, clothes designers. My own definitions would set fashion and clothing greatly apart. It is a fact that, in the world of metropolitan shopping malls and high-end boutiques, there are plenty of beautiful garments whose very unpredictability make our life colorful, and compel a multitude of desires. You are almost convinced: you can buy whatever you dare to think.
(2)As experience grew with age, my attraction to art became ever stronger. The world of art revealed new spiritual prospects, a food for the heart and the sense of happiness that comes from catching sight of a friend from a past life. My journeys into the remote countryside, far away from urban life, carry me to deeper thoughts and explorations of the values of life. I am no longer satisfied by the practical and ornamental functions of clothing that are changing in modality, nor breakthroughs in form, much less does the drive for reputation or profit enter into my work. I yearn strongly for clothing to stand as does paint to the painter, as does stone to the sculptor, as a simple and particular language of an individual creation, which draws the audience from an appreciation of the surface to deeper thoughts and conversations with the world of the soul. I have a strong desire to explore the mental life and spiritual world of human beings. And through the works of hand that have touched me deeply, I believe that the most sublime and most meaningful creative motives should arise through caring for other people, the ultimate care of humanity—a concern for human feeling and spirituality. This includes love, but it is bigger than love, and it is unconditional. I believe the greatest works of art can touch the deepest and strongest parts of human feeling and the world of the spirit, and only these works can be the memories of history, preserving the most valuable feelings that have ever existed, and inspiring a greater awareness of ourselves.
(3)I am not satisfied if people only appreciate clothing if it makes them happy, or visually appealing, or merely serves their needs. I believe clothing could be a specific creative language, and has infinite possibilities for communicating ideas and transmitting thoughts, for inspiring you and shaping your behavior. The spiritual qualities which I pursue stand in complete opposition to the trends of modern fashion. What I find profoundly engaging are the primitive eras of human history, when people held nature in the deepest reverence and made objects of the utmost simplicity. Those crafts fashioned out of necessity, and not by the hands of celebrated masters, possess a power that can endure across the ages. These designs may still resonate through the millennia and arrest the values of contemporary fashion. This is what I have pursued, for clothing to return to its original simplicity. For our sensibilities which have been over-stimulated by fashion, we must regain a natural sense of clothing. Genuine fashion today should not follow the glamor of trends. It should instead uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary, for I believe that the ultimate luxury is not the price of the clothing, but its spirit.
Which of the following is of least interest to the author in his designing work?
选项
A、The functions of clothing.
B、The spirit implied in clothing.
C、The appreciation of the consumers.
D、The prospect of reputation and profit.
答案
D
解析
第2段第4句中的much less…reputation or profit…表明作者最不关心的是reputation和profit.可见本题应选D。A在同一句中也有提及,但句中的much less表明在A和D的比较中,D更符合题意。通读全文后可以发现,B是作者最关心的,而C根本没有原文依据。
