Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, November 2010

Below you can read my translation from French to English of the editorial authored by Carine Roitfeld for the November issue of Vogue Paris.

Alors que l'automne bat déjà son plein et que le moral a la couleur du ciel, le désir d'ailleurs et de liberté se fait plus que jamais sentir. Alternative inspirée à un vol long courrier, destination un paradis ensoleillé quelconque, ce nouveau numéro de Vogue est une plage d'évasion. L'heure mode est au hippie revival et au souffle bohème. Longue jupe en coton poids plume, imprimés foisonnants, colorama désinhibé, jean customisé, nudité assumée, kimono déluré... Les influences se télescopent pour une allure universelle et émancipée : More de Barbet Schroeder au shaker avec un brûlant Japon, les skaters de Wassup Rockers, l'évanescence Bilitis façon David Hamilton... Egalement au sommaire, une visite exclusive de l'une des plus belles maisons de Malibu, l'océan rien que pour soi à 180°; une rencontre très personnelle avec la discrète Bambou, dernière compagne de Serge Gainsbourg, qui planche avec son fils Lulu sur un album. Sans oublier une escale de l'extrême à Burning Man, probablement le rassemblement alternatif le plus déjanté, où créatifs de tout poil, freaks, nomades et jeunesse dorée se retrouvent dans une quête sans limites de sensations fortes. C'est le dépaysement assuré.

While autumn is in full swing and the morale is the color of the sky, the desire for elsewhere and for freedom is felt more than ever. This alternative was inspired by a long flight, the destination any sunny paradise, this new issue of Vogue is a beach getaway. The fashion of the hour is the hippie revival and the bohemian spirit. Long skirt in lightweight cotton, abundant prints, disinhibited colorama, customized jeans, assumed nudity, cheeky kimono... Influences collide in a look universal and emancipated: More by Barbet Schroeder in the shaker with a scorching Japan, the skaters of Wassup Rockers, the evanescent Bilitis fashion of David Hamilton... Also in summary, an exclusive tour of one of the most beautiful houses in Malibu, the ocean just for you at 180°; a very personal encounter with the discreet Bambou, the last companion of Serge Gainsbourg, who joins her son Lulu on an album. Without forgetting a stop to the extreme at Burning Man, probably the craziest alternative gathering, where all creative sorts, freaks, nomads and golden youth find themselves in an endless quest for strong sensations. This is the change of scenery.

"disinhibited colorama"

Ha--I like that. You know how us fellow wordsmiths like words. (Even to the point of being redundant in so stating--ha-HA!)

I had never heard of Burning Man before seeing this issue. Very interesting. (I'm still trying to figure it out.) ;)

Carine always manages to turn us on to the coolest things, Kate! A couple of the films she mentions are new to me and I cannot wait to watch for fashion inspiration...

K--

Another Triumph! Thanks so much for doing this those of us who are lacking in this area--although my heart speak fluent French.

You are sweet, SMM, merci beaucoup. I love to do it and I am happy that you like it. But you should learn French! Bet you knew the two words in the first sentence...
