Kermit the Frog, a popular puppet character from US kids show Sesame Street, is probably most well-known for saying, “It’s not easy being green.” Well, our famous frog friend won’t have to worry much longer! It seems that the color green is coming back in style in 2020.
美國兒童節(jié)目《芝麻街》中的明星木偶角色科米蛙最出名的或許要數(shù)這句話：“當(dāng)只綠青蛙可不是一件容易的事?！辈贿^，我們這位著名的青蛙朋友如今無需太過擔(dān)心了！在2020年，綠色似乎要再掀起一股時尚風(fēng)潮。

Based on fashion collections made for spring/summer 2020, it is clear that major brands have been inspired by nature’s beauty. The new designs include a variety of leaf prints and floral fashion.
從時尚界的2020年春夏系列中，不難看出大牌們都紛紛從自然之美中獲取靈感。新設(shè)計中就包括了各種各樣的葉子與花卉的印花時尚。

Models wore dresses covered in a leafy-green print. These elegant dresses were perfectly paired with shoes and accessories inspired by tropical flowers. At Versace’s fashion show in Milan, US actress Jennifer Lopez closed the show in a remake of the jungle print dress she wore to the Grammy Awards 20 years ago. The dress certainly wowed the crowd, bringing back memories of the famous gown that helped to create Google’s image search function.
模特們都穿上了綠葉印花的連衣裙。這些優(yōu)雅的裙裝完美搭配熱帶花卉元素的鞋履和配飾。在范思哲的米蘭時裝秀上，美國女演員詹妮弗·洛佩茲身著她20年前的格萊美頒獎禮紅毯同款戰(zhàn)袍閉秀 —— 一條叢林印花連衣裙。這條裙子無疑驚艷了大眾，令人回想起正是這條著名的禮服裙，讓谷歌推出了圖片搜索功能。

This new trend in seeing the color green as fashionable shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. The popularity of the color has actually been growing for a while now. In 2017, Pantone named Greenery its color of the year as a symbol of new beginnings. Also, with an increased focus on the environment, designers and fashion brands are trying to make their clothes more eco-friendly and sustainable.
但將綠色視作時尚的這股新潮流并不出人意料。綠色已經(jīng)流行了相當(dāng)一段時間。2017年，潘通將象征著新開始的草木綠定為年度流行色。與此同時，日益關(guān)注環(huán)境的設(shè)計師與時尚品牌們也試圖令服飾更加環(huán)保且可持續(xù)。

Green is a strong fashion trend for 2020 and it seems like it is here to stay. According to the famous Dutch trend forecaster, Li Edelkoort, green will be a major color of the decade. She believes the new “Green Wave” is linked to a hunger for nature. “The need for green is so powerful that it will turn around fashion and design without any doubt, … it is impossible to ignore,” Edelkoort writes on her company website describing the new trend.
綠色是2020年的一股強勁的時尚潮流，這股潮流似乎也會持續(xù)下去。在荷蘭著名潮流預(yù)測專家里·愛德科特看來，綠色將會是這整個十年的主流色。她認(rèn)為這股全新的“綠色潮流”與人們對自然的渴望息息相關(guān)。“人們對于綠色的需要如此迫切，毫無疑問這會顛覆時尚與設(shè)計圈……令人無法忽視，”愛德科特在其公司官網(wǎng)上如此形容這一新趨勢。

There is much more to green than it being just a color. Edelkoort continues, “But maybe the most important thing about green is its capacity to bring joy.” Maybe it’s easier to be green than Kermit originally thought.
綠色絕不僅僅只是一種顏色而已。愛德科特繼續(xù)說道，“但綠色最重要之處或許在于它能帶來喜悅?！被蛟S，穿綠色比科米蛙原本想的要容易。
