一些标志性的设计是否能展现英式风情


上一期的红色双层巴士,电话亭,Mini车还喜欢吗?


看一下本期的五个设计是否对你的胃口?


迷你裙



玛莉官的这项引人注目的设计在1964年出现于伦敦街头,当时这一款式刚刚在玛莉官自己的店铺内诞生,而她的店铺位于那时处于时尚最前沿的切尔西国王路。


新款式的下摆从及膝改为大腿一半的高度,引起了不小的轰动,关于这种新式服装是否适合年轻女士出现了不同意见。迷你裙很快就成为了时尚的标志,成为了“60年代伦敦”及城中最酷购物街“卡纳比街”的代名词




Mary Quant’s head-turning new design hit London’s streets in 1964, fresh from Quant’s own shop in the then hyper-fashionable Kings Road, Chelsea. The new look caused quite a stir, with hemlines shifting from knee level to halfway up the thigh, and there was some controversy about whether the new garment was appropriate dress for young ladies. The miniskirt quickly became a fashion icon synonymous with 1960s London and Carnaby Street, the coolest shopping street in town.


The last original Routemasters were retired in 2005, though two heritage routes (London buses numbers 9 and 15) still feature the original vehicles. The popularity of the original bus led to a new upgraded version being designed, and this went into service in 2012.



朋克风格



70年代后半期,朋克摇滚在英国音乐界大行其道,而它所带来的许多风格款式成为了今天的经典设计。马尔科姆·麦克拉伦名为“SEX”的精品屋是设计师维维安·韦斯特伍德最早的一间店铺,维维安·韦斯特伍德特色鲜明的设计元素如绑带、安全别针、尖齿狗项圈以及刀片,成为了朋克摇滚服装的通用设计。


今天,维维安·韦斯特伍德已跻身世界一流设计师之列,在英国多个城市您都可以看到她的品牌店铺。






In the latter half of the 1970s, Punk Rock exploded onto the British music scene and brought with it a whole raft of now iconic looks. Malcolm McLaren’s boutique, known as ‘SEX’, was one early outlet for designer Vivienne Westwood whose definitive designs – bondage gear, safety pins, spiked dog collars and razor blades – became the Punk Rock uniform.


Today Vivienne Westwood is one of the world’s leading designers, and you’ll find her shops in a number of British cities.



红色双层巴士




这种体型巨大的红色双层巴士由伦敦运输局设计,1956年投入使用后很快就成为了伦敦的一项标志。它最著名的特色是一个敞开式平台,让乘客能够在运行途中随时上下车。


最后一辆原产红色双层巴士在2005年退役,但两条怀旧旅游路线(伦敦巴士9号及15号线)仍保留了最初的车辆。在广受欢迎的原产车型的基础上,新版本的设计进行了升级,并于2012年投入使用。



Designed by London Transport, the big, red Routemaster bus entered service in 1956 and quickly became a London icon. Its most famous feature was an open platform which let passengers jump on or off at any point on the route.




伦敦地铁交通图





查看伦敦地铁交通图时,您绝不会想到地铁线路实际上是位于不同高度的众多线路组成的令人头晕脑胀的乱糟糟一团。为此,我们要感谢哈里·贝克,是他设计了第一张伦敦地铁路线图。


这一基于环路图形的简约设计立刻成为了经典范本,今天的地铁线路图由贝克最初的设计理念发展而来:将地图简化至最基本元素,以确保用户能够便利使用。


Looking at the London Tube map, you’d never know that the tubelines themselves are rather a confusing mish-mash of different levels androutes. For that we have Harry Beck to thank, the man who designed the firstdiagrammatic map of the London Underground.


His simplified design based on a circuit diagram became an instantclassic and today’s Tube map evolved from his original idea: to strip the mapdown to basics to ensure a user-friendly experience.



喷火战斗机




喷火战斗机,全称为“超级马林喷火战斗机”,是二战时期英国战斗力最强大的机型之一。它最初由R·J·米切尔设计,后由约瑟夫·史密斯继续完成开发,在不列颠战役中发挥了重要作用,成为了英国军事力量的象征。


得益于巧妙的设计,特别是椭圆型的机翼,这种战斗机与当时其他的战斗机相比速度更快、操纵更灵活,在二战之后多年一直是皇家空军战斗机司令部的主要机型。


The Spitfire, or Supermarine Spitfire to give it its full name, was one of Britain’s most effective aircraft during World War 2. Designed by R. J. Mitchell, and developed by Joe Smith, it played a key role in the Battle of Britain and came to be a symbol of British military prowess.


Thanks to its clever design, particularly its elliptical wing shape, it was faster and more manoeuvrable then other contemporary fighters, and it became the main aircraft of RAF Fighter Command for years after the war.
