Smelling models

It’s a country that rejects the Western world but that hasn’t stopped North Korean authorities approving a colourful fashion show, complete with pale-faced models wiggling their hips in far from traditional clothing.
這是一個拒絕西方世界的國家，但這并不妨礙朝鮮當局批準舉辦一場花花綠綠的時裝秀，配上面色蒼白的模特穿著與傳統(tǒng)服飾大相徑庭的衣裝扭動臀部。

Aram Pan, a photographer from Singapore, captured the bizarre display of brightly coloured frocks and suits - seemingly approved by dictator Kim Jong-un - while on his fourth trip to the communist enclave in September.
新加坡攝影師亞蘭·潘9月份的時候第四次去了這個社會主義領(lǐng)地，拍下這場奇異的時裝秀，展示了色彩鮮亮繽紛的連衣裙和套裝，這貌似還得到了獨裁者金正恩的嘉許。

He noted how hemlines are rising and the permitted hues are getting bolder inside the secretive state, upon his visit to the 12th Pyongyang Fashion Exhibition in North Korea’s capital.
在朝鮮首都參加第12屆平壤時裝展時他發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這個詭秘的國家里，裙子下擺提高了，用色也變得更加大膽了。

‘The skirts overall do seem a wee bit shorter nowadays. There's also the occasional blouse with a lower neckline,’ Mr Pan said.
潘先生說：“現(xiàn)在的腰裙都要短些，而且也偶爾有領(lǐng)口開得比較低的襯衫了?！?/div>

Western-style suits

Traditional North Korean clothing was also on show at the event (seen in the background) but the western-style suits caught Aram Pan's eye, as he noted that women across the country now wear high-heels and shorter skirts.
活動上也展示了傳統(tǒng)朝鮮服飾（見背景），但這些西式的套裝抓住了亞蘭·潘的眼球，他發(fā)現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)在，這個國家的女性會穿高跟鞋和短裙。

Monochrome suits and red suits

Monochrome suits appeared on the catwalk more than once and so did the colour red. Mr Pan said he did not find out where the models on the runway were from.
黑白套裝不止一次出現(xiàn)在T臺上，紅色套裝也是。潘先生說他并不清楚走秀的模特是從哪里來的。

在展覽廳，女人們感受面料、查看套裝。盡管之前有報道，但潘先生說朝鮮并沒有禁止女性穿褲子，只是她們大多選擇穿裙子。
