Much as contemporary fashion fans try to emulate her outfits, there's something inimitable about Princess Diana's style.
就像当代时尚迷们试图模仿她的服装一样,戴安娜王妃的风格也有一些无与伦比的的地方。
Capturing the spirit of her sometimes quirky off-duty looks is a tricky beast to nail – no one did it quite like the princess.
捕捉她有时下班时古怪的外表是一件棘手的事情——没有人能像公主那样做到这一点。
But now, a Princess Diana style superfan can quite literally embody her dress sense, as her iconic black sheep sweater, created by knitwear label Warm & Wonderful, just sold for a record amount via Sotheby's in New York.
但现在,戴安娜王妃风格的超级粉丝可以很好地体现她的穿着品味,因为她由针织品品牌Warm&Wonderful设计的标志性黑羊毛衫刚刚在纽约苏富比以创纪录的价格售出。
Originally expected to fetch between $50,000 and $80,000, the vibrant red jumper – which features rows of cute white sheep with one contrasting black one as its focal point – sold for an incredible $1.1 million (£920,000). That's more than 14 times the asking price.
这件鲜艳的红色套头衫最初预计售价在5万至8万美元之间,以一排排可爱的白色绵羊和一只对比鲜明的黑色绵羊为焦点,以110万美元(92万英镑)的惊人价格售出。这是要价的14倍多。
The winning bidder, who remains unidentified, must be pleased to have set a new world record for the largest sum ever paid at auction for a piece of knitwear (the previous record, set in 2019, was $334,000 for a green cardigan worn by late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain).
这位身份不明的中标者一定很高兴在一件针织品的拍卖会上创下了有史以来最大金额的新世界纪录(之前的纪录是在2019年创下的,已故涅盘乐队主唱库尔特·科本穿的一件绿色羊毛衫的33.4万美元)。
As well, it's officially the most expensive item of Diana's clothing to have ever gone under the hammer, beating out a purple Victor Edelstein evening gown that sold for $604,800 at auction earlier this year.
此外,这也是戴安娜有史以来最昂贵的服装,击败了今年早些时候在拍卖会上以60.48万美元成交的紫色Victor Edelstein晚礼服。
Princess Diana first debuted the stylish farmyard-themed sweater in 1981 when she wore it to watch her then-fiancé Prince Charles play polo.
1981年,戴安娜王妃首次推出了这件时尚的农场主题毛衣,当时她穿着这件毛衣观看当时的未婚夫查尔斯王子打马球。
The playful design was created by Sally Muir and Joanna Osbourne, who established their knitwear label, Warm & Wonderful, in 1979. Extensive media coverage of Princess Diana's stylish knit catapulted their independent brand into the fashion stratosphere.
这个有趣的设计是由Sally Muir和Joanna Osbourne创作的,他们于1979年创立了针织品品牌Warm&Wonderful。媒体对戴安娜王妃时尚针织的广泛报道使他们的独立品牌一跃成为时尚的巅峰。
A few weeks after the jumper's famous outing, the brand received a letter from Buckingham Palace seeking either a repair or a replacement, explaining that the knit has been damaged.
在这件套头衫著名亮相几周后,该品牌收到了白金汉宫的一封信,要求进行维修或更换,并解释说针织物已经损坏。
Warm & Wonderful obliged, sending a new piece and reuniting Princess Diana with her much-loved sheep design.
Warm&Wonderful表示感谢,送出了一件新作品,让戴安娜王妃与她深爱的绵羊图案重聚。
The designers assumed the original piece had been repaired and sent out to a different customer until March of this year. Joanna was searching through her attic when she came across a box containing the sheep sweater and after extensive analysis, Sotheby's auction house confirmed that the piece once belonged to the princess.
直到今年3月,设计师们都认为原来的作品已经修复并寄给了另一位客户。乔安娜在阁楼里搜寻时,发现了一个装着羊毛衫的盒子。经过广泛分析,苏富比拍卖行证实,这件羊毛衫曾经属于公主。
