For anyone who is set on a career in fashion it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can count for as much as flair and creativity.
Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant breakneck speed to prepare for the next season’s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to cultivate good coverage in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is insatiable (不知足的). "We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is," says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin’s School of Art in London, "and we point out that drive and determination are essential."
This may seem far removed from the popular image of trendy and dilettante (业余爱好的) young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. "We don’t stamp on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the constraints of price, manufacturability, marketing and so on."
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and innovation. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a manufacturer or fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer. Even those students who are most avant-garde (前卫的) in their own taste of clothes and image may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream Marks and Spencer type of market. They also have to be able to work at both the exclusively expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be more demanding than where money is no object.
The views on fashion design in this passage______.
选项
A、present an encouraging picture
B、contain some innovative ideas
C、dispel some common illusions
D、discount the creative element
答案
C
解析
第三段首句指出人们对时装行业的印象“the popular image of trendy and dilettante youngpeople spending their time designing pretty dresses”与现实情况大相径庭,而且文中一直在谈论服装设计业的艰辛,所以本文提到的情况可以改变人们对此行业的一些错误看法,故答案为C)。文中提到时装行业的艰辛以及时装行业限制了设计者的自我发挥,这都不是令人振奋的消息,故排除A)。
