Gucci五折甩卖：专柜扫荡秒变菜市场

 　　Gucci is shedding all signs of Frida Giannini, a process that’s been sped up thanks to this epic¹ Gucci sale happening in China.

　　古奇正在清理所有弗里达·贾娜妮设计的款型，多亏了这次在中国具有史诗般意义的促销，清理库存的进程加快了脚步。

　　According to Business of Fashion, shoppers in China have been enjoying up to 50 percent off Gucci wares² designed under Giannini’s direction. People have reportedly been lining³ up in front of the Italian label’s location at Shanghai’s International Finance Center in the wee hours of the morning to be first to pick up the coveted⁴ goods at discounted prices.

　　据网络杂志《BoF》(Business of Fashion)的报道，中国的消费者们正不亦乐乎的享受着贾娜妮设计的古奇商品5折促销。凌晨，上海国金中心的这家意大利奢侈品专卖店门口，人们排起了长龙，都想第一个以折后价买下垂涎已久的商品。

　　China recently decreased its import tariffs⁵ on clothes and shoes, presenting another incentive⁶ for shoppers to take advantage of the discounts. The sale seems to come at a great time for the label, which is trying to move into a new era under creative director Alessandro Michele.

　　中国最近降低了衣物鞋类的进口关税，又一次刺激了消费者享受疯狂折扣的心。这次促销似乎对于古奇来说正是时候，他们正想在创意总监亚历山大·米歇尔的带领下步入新时代。

　　“Bizzarri [Gucci’s CEO] is clearing inventory⁷ from the previous collection, as Gucci is looking forward to turning the page on Frida Giannini,” analyst⁸ Luca Solca told Business of Fashion. “Gucci needs a new direction and some correction — I consider this inevitable⁹.”

　　“比萨里（古奇CEO）正在清理之前的存货，因为古奇要翻过弗里达·贾娜妮的一页，展望未来，”分析员卢卡·索尔卡告诉《BoF》。“古奇需要一个新方向和一些修正——我觉得这是不可避免的。”
