第一夫人引发本土时尚热

　　China's new First Lady, Peng Liyuan, has become something of a global style icon on her first official state visit。首次出访的中国新任第一夫人彭丽媛，俨然已经成为全球时尚偶像。

　　Peng Liyuan, wife of the new Chinese president Xi Jinping, has become a surprise style sensation with her native fashion bloggers and style commentators around the world on her first official state visit。彭丽媛是中国国家主席习近平的妻子，日前她随习近平主席开始了首次正式国事访问。优雅的彭丽媛女士如今已经成为了时尚象征，给中国国内时尚博主和评论家带来了不少惊喜。

　　Disembarking from her private plane in Moscow on Friday, Peng, 50, chose an elegant black double-breasted belted coat and ladylike handbag by Chinese fashion label Exception; a look which, teamed with her neatly pinned up hair, fresh-faced make-up and understated accessories, wouldn't have looked out of place in the front row at Paris Haute Couture Week。上周五彭丽媛抵达外访的第一站俄罗斯莫斯科市。现年50岁的彭丽媛女士从私人专机上优雅地走下来，她身着一件黑色腰带双排扣外套，手上提着的是中国时尚品牌例外的女士提包。这样的装扮搭配上精心固定的发髻、清新妆容以及低调朴素的首饰，就算是坐在巴黎高级定制时装周的前排也毫不逊色。

　　"First ladies are ambassadors of the culture and the design and of the soft power of a country. I'm glad that she chose to wear Chinese and take up that role of spokesperson for Chinese design here," said Hong Huang, publisher of the fashion magazine iLook and one of the most popular microbloggers in China. “第一夫人一直是一个国家的文化大使，通常代表的就是一种软实力。看到彭丽媛女士选择中国本土品牌我非常高兴，她充当了中国设计的发言人的角色。” 中国时尚杂志《iLook》的出版人洪晃表示，她也是中国最著名的微博达人之一。

　　"It's the first time that China's first lady appears like a modern woman. I think she dressed very well, with taste and confidence," said Zhang Yu, editor of China's Vogue magazine. "After so many years, we finally have a first lady who can represent us so appropriately. I think it is a landmark event."中国版《Vogue》杂志的编辑张宇则表示：“这是第一次中国第一夫人展现现代女性的形象。我觉得她的穿着非常得体，很有品味也很自信。在这么多年后，我们终于能找到一位可以大方得体地代表中国女性的第一夫人。我觉得这是里程碑式的事件。”

Online retailers have sought to associate their products with what news portals are terming the "Peng Liyuan style," with searches for those key words resulting in lists of handbags and trench coats, many of which did not even resemble the items she wore. 新闻门户网站将这股潮流成为“彭丽媛style”，中国的网络零售商也都在将他们的产品赶上这股最热时尚潮流。搜索这些关键词，你可以看到许多列的提包和风衣，很多其实跟彭丽媛女士的穿戴并不相符。

　　Heavy online traffic to Exception's website has caused it to crash since Friday, with it loading only sporadically on Monday。例外品牌网站吸引了大量浏览量，造成网站从周五开始一直处于崩溃状态，在本周一也还是偶尔才能登陆上去的状态。

　　Chatter about her winning personal style quickly spread globally with U.S. newspaper's comparing her to Michelle Obama (both have daughters and are only a year apart in age)， though we think her ladylike style is more reminiscent of ex First Lady of France, Carla Bruni。彭丽媛女士在此次外访中个人形象的大获成功，也让很多美国的报纸将其与美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马进行比较，毕竟这两位女士情况很相似：她们都有女儿，而且年龄也只相差一岁。不过我们认为彭丽媛女士的优雅风格其实与前任法国第一夫人卡拉·布吕尼更为相似。

　　Further fuelling the hype, Liyuan, who is also a United Nations ambassador for health joined her husband on a visit to Africa on Sunday, touching down at Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam sporting another 'on trend' look comprising a crisp white skirt suit, coordinating handbag and peep-toe crocodile court shoes。“彭丽媛style”时尚潮流还在持续发酵。上周日，作为联合国健康大使的彭丽媛跟随丈夫习近平一道前往非洲。当她乘坐的飞机降落在坦桑尼亚首都达累斯萨拉姆的尼雷尔机场，我们看到这位中国第一夫人又展现了另一套时尚造型：亮丽的白色裙装，搭配相称的提包和鱼嘴鳄鱼皮鞋。
