Esquire 20th Anniversary Chat with Bolin

Translated from : http://fashion.sohu.com/20161102/n472145406.shtml

Q：什么样的男人算“时尚先生”？

Q : What kind of man is considered as “Fashionable Man” ?

陈柏霖：我觉得有影响力、充满正能量、能对别人起到好的示范作用的人就可以称得上是“时尚先生”。不管是他的穿衣风格，观影品位和听音乐的品位，甚至对于食物的要求，这些都可以称得上是评价“时尚先生”的基准

CBL : I think someone who is influential , full of positive energy and a good role model to others can be considered "Mr. Fashionable." Regardless of his dressing style, the quality of his observations and music tastes, and even food requirements, all of this can be regarded as a criteria for the benchmark of a “Fashionable Man"

Q：你觉得自己算“时尚先生”吗？

Q: Do you think you are considered a “Fashionable Man”

陈柏霖：也没有说我要多么厉害，我更想成为一个自在的人，然后透过一些小的事情能够影响到可能喜欢我的人，或者影响到那些在不经意间看到我做了某件事情的人，我就是想做一个具有小小的影响力然后又拥有自在的人吧。

CBL : I didn’t say I want to be someone great, I just want to be someone who is free, and through some small things, I am able to influence people who might like me, or affect those who inadvertently see me do something. I just want to be someone who can influence others with small actions and then be someone who is free.

Q：听到“品位”这个词，你首先会想到什么？

Q: When you hear the word “Grade” , what goes through your mind?

陈柏霖：我觉得听到“品位”这个词，很酷的一个东西是Tom Ford拍的第一部电影《A Single Man》，从来没有一个时尚设计师能去当导演拍摄电影，他算是第一人吧，而且把自己的品位投射到了影像当中。

CBL : When I hear the word "grade", the coolest thing that comes to mind is Tom Ford’s first film "A Single Man”. Never before has a fashion designer venture into films as a director. He was the first and he was also able to project his own tastes into the film.

Q：怎么看待很多中国男性、尤其是年轻的中国男性，越来越注重穿衣打扮这件事？

Q: What’s your view on men in China, especially a lot of young China Men are now putting emphasis on dressing up?

陈柏霖：我觉得非常好，因为外在是了解内在的第一道门槛吧，所以应该要把自己的外在先准备好。

CBL : I think it’s excellent. Because your external self will be used to evaluate who you are internally, so you need to prepare yourself in your outer appearance.

Q：对于男性来说，你觉得哪些单品比较能提升时尚气质？

Q: For a man, what type of products can upgrade your man’s fashion temperament?

陈柏霖：秋冬季节，一件大衣很重要，我最喜欢的大衣一定是黑色或者深蓝色的。

CBL : During autumn and winter, your coat is the most important, for me my favorite coat is either black or blue.
