After years of filming its iconic fashion show in New York City, Victoria's Secret has travelled to London, Paris, Cannes and Los Angeles, and for 2017 the global lingerie giant is heading to Shanghai.
在紐約舉辦了多次其標志性的時裝秀之后,內(nèi)衣品牌維多利亞的秘密又來到倫敦、巴黎、戛納和洛杉磯舉辦維密秀,而在2017年,該全球女士內(nèi)衣行業(yè)巨頭來到了上海。
But despite the anticipation, it seems the underwear brand's debut in the Chinese city is not going entirely to plan.
盡管此次維密秀備受期待,但似乎該內(nèi)衣品牌在中國的首秀并沒有完全按計劃進行。
While organizers of the show attempt to get it back on track following a string of problems obtaining visas for models and performers such as Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry, now they're also claiming that their e-mails are being intercepted by Chinese authorities.
因為吉吉·哈迪德和凱蒂·派瑞等多位模特和表演者在申請簽證時遇到了一系列問題,維密秀的主辦方正試圖使一切回到正軌,如今主辦方又表示,中國政府還攔截了他們的郵件。
As a result of the country’s strict policies, some of the underwear brand's most famous models are unable to appear in its biggest event of the year with Gigi Hadid announcing that she won’t be attending on Twitter last week.
因為中國嚴格的政策,該內(nèi)衣品牌的幾位最有名的模特無法出席今年最重要的活動,上周吉吉·哈迪德就在推特上表示她不會出席此次維密秀。
It is revealed that Hadid's visa application was turned down after she offended many by squinting her eyes in an attempt to impersonate the Buddha in February.
據(jù)透露,二月份哈迪德瞇著眼睛試圖模仿佛像,冒犯了許多人,在那之后她的簽證申請就被駁回了。
Similarly, Katy Perry was initially granted a visa to perform at the show in Shanghai but Chinese officials soon changed their mind. This, it has been claimed, is because the singer carried a Taiwanese flag and wore a dress covered in sunflowers during a 2015 concert in Taiwan.
同樣的,中國官方最初已批準了凱蒂·派瑞去上海參加維密秀的簽證申請,但很快又取消了她的簽證。據(jù)稱,這是因為這位歌手2015年在臺灣舉辦演唱會的時候曾舉著一面臺灣旗幟并穿著一件印著向日葵的連衣裙。
The year before, Taiwanese anti-China protesters chose the sunflower as the symbol for their cause.
而在一年前,臺灣的反華人士就選擇了向日葵作為他們反華事業(yè)的標志。
A string of other Victoria's Secret models have also been banned from the country including Julia Belyakova, Kate Grigorieva and Irina Sharipova - all from Russia - and Ukraine's Dasha Khylstun.
此外,維密的許多其他模特也被禁止入境,包括來自俄羅斯的朱莉亞·貝亞科娃、凱特·格里戈瑞瓦和伊麗娜·萊巴里科娃以及烏克蘭的達莎·凱爾斯頓。
Despite the confusion, executive producer Ed Razek has commended the Chinese partners as “wonderful and enthusiastic hosts.”
雖然引起了一定混亂,但維密秀的執(zhí)行制作人艾德·拉澤克稱贊中國合作方是“令人愉快又熱情的東道主”。
