“It’s a gull’s head that’s been coated in silicone,” explains Andrew Bolton, the 49-year-old British-born curator in charge of the Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is examining a dress by Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, a wild whip of silicone fringing frozen in motion, the gull skulls caught as if attempting to fly. The dress will appear in the Costume Institute’s new show Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, opening next week.
「這就是塗了矽酮料的海鷗頭。」49歲的英國人安德魯•波頓(Andrew Bolton)解釋道，他是紐約大都會藝術博物館服裝學院(Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art)院長。他正仔細看著荷蘭設計師艾里斯•範•荷本(Iris van Herpen)設計的一款裙子，這件散射狀矽酮海鷗頭凝固的運動瞬間，做出一飛沖天的模樣。這件裙子會在「手工x機械展：科技時代的時裝展(Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”)上展出。
