Remember when your room was a blend of half deflated furniture and pin-ups of boys?

还记得你的房间里混杂着已经瘪了的充气家具和男星海报那会儿吗?

Great Big Story remembers.

反正《伟大的故事》还记得。

The Inflatables.

充气家具。

There was a time in history when an inflatable chair in the corner of your bedroom meant something,

曾经,房间角落里的充气椅对我们来说可是意义非凡的存在,

but that time is long gone.

然而,现在回想起来仿佛已经恍如隔世了。

This is Evangelos, he's an architectural historian.

这位是伊万杰洛斯,他是一位建筑历史学家。

We found him through the MoMA.

我们是通过现代美术馆找到他的。

He knows everything about design.

他对设计可以说是了如指掌。

"So, one of the first named engineers that we know

“据我们所知,

who experimented with inflatable structure that large in the '40s was Walter Bert

最早进行这么大的充气构造实验并且有名有姓的设计师应该是沃尔特·伯特,

who created enclosures and ray domes for the military,

他给军方设计过围栏和雷达天线罩,

all the way to structures that would cover open air pools.

也设计过露天泳池顶棚。

In the 1960s, there is a moment where inflatable furniture really takes the world by storm.

20世纪60年代,充气家具曾经一度席卷了整个世界。

And ultimately in the '90s,

到了90年代,

they become part of a commercial landscape in companies like Sears, Hot Topic, Target,

这种家具已经走进西尔斯、热门话题、塔吉特等公司的商业版图,

and ultimately into everybody's closet.

并最终走进了所有人的衣橱。

Right, because let's be honest, they were not that comfortable.

没错,因为,说真的,使用感并不是很舒服。

Fashionable? you better believe it, but practical?

时髦嘛?这点你还是信的好,但实用性嘛,

Absolutely not.

绝对算不上实用。

Cool clothes.

潮服。

When I think back to the height of the Delia's in the nineties, you know,

回想起90年代牧羊女特火那会儿,最潮的打扮就是

it was the bump toe lace-up shoe peaking out of a wide leg, fabric pants

牛仔喇叭裤下露出绑带松糕鞋的鞋头,

paired with like a little baby T with like something printed on it.

上面搭一件印花短T。

If you've never heard of Delia's,

如果你没听过牧羊女这个牌子,

it was a mail order catalog meets fashion Bible for most teen girls in the '90s and 2000s.

那我告诉你,在90年代和00年代的大部分女中学生眼里,它就是邮寄订阅杂志和时尚圣经的合体。

And this is Galadriel, She was Delia's very first stylist.

这位是加拉德丽尔,牧羊女最早期的设计师。

'90's, iconic time.

90年代,很典型的一个时代。

It was ball chain, ball chain, ball chain.

那会儿流行的配饰就是珠链。过去过来都是珠链。

Let's wrap at once around her neck.

最早流行的是绕一圈。

Now let's wrap it twice around her neck.

后来又变成了叠戴两圈。

Okay, let's wrap it six times around her wrist.

手上再来个六圈。

Okay guys, can she wear it like a wallet chain?

干脆再做个钱包链怎么样?

I mean we just used ball chains for everything.

我们几乎把珠链这个元素用到了所有能用的地方。

In 2014, Delia's filed for bankruptcy,

2014年,牧羊女(这个牌子)申请破产了,

but as we all know, fashion always makes a full circle because guess what?

但你我都知道,时尚是个圈,因为,你猜怎么着?

They're back.

哎,现在它又流行回来了。

The pin-ups.

在墙上钉东西。

A staple in most girls bedrooms was the collage wall full of cut-up boy crushes.

大多数女生卧室都少不了满墙的美男剪贴画。

And it's likely that most of those images came tenderly cut from the magazine called J-14.

而且,这些画很可能都是从一本名叫“J-14”的杂志上小心翼翼地剪下来的。

My name is Richard Spencer and I was the founding editor in chief.

我叫理查德·斯宾塞,我就是这本杂志的创始主编。

I created the magazine.

我创办了这本杂志。

J-14 had a very specific formula.

J-14有它特定的排版模式。

The main image is the hottest teen star at that moment.

封面主图必须是当时最火的青少年明星。

When a new band is starting, you put them smaller on the cover.

有新乐队出现的时候,就在封面上放一张他们的小图。

If you look back at old issues,

如果回过头去看几期以前的封面,

you would see that 'N Sync and Backstreet boys were main image,

你会发现“超级男孩”和“后街男孩”是在主图的位置,

but then you would start seeing insets of O-Town or 98 Degrees.

但接下来你会发现“O-town”,“98度”也登上了主图的位置。

There is a common theme here, and that is boys with tight shirts on, with no shirts on.

杂志里的图都有一个共同点,那就是全部都是帅哥,穿着紧身T恤的,或者干脆T恤都不穿的帅哥。

We had focus groups and the girls talked to us and they didn't like to see any body hair.

我们还成立了一个筛选小组,组里的女同事告诉我们,她们不喜欢看到体毛。她们不想看到腋毛。

They didn't want to see armpit.

任何位置的体毛都不行。

So that was 20 years.

都已经20年了。

So that's changed a bit.

这点倒是和现在有点不一样。

And we can't finish this section without talking about the pullout centerfold.

结束这个小节之前我们怎么能不提一下这本杂志中间的折叠插页呢。

It's perfect for decorating a girl's room because those posters are wallpaper.

这个插页用来装饰女生的卧室再合适不过了,因为这些海报就是拿来当墙纸用的。

Pin-ups, posters, tomato, tomato.

剪贴画,海报,西红柿,番茄(就是叫法不一样而已)。

From the original crowd of Tiger Beat, Teen Dream and the rest,

从最早的“虎派”、“少年梦”到后来的其他组合,

J-14 is the only teen magazine still left today.

如今,J-14已经是唯一一本到现在还没被淘汰的同类杂志了。

So clearly, they're doing something right.

显然,他们肯定是有可取之处的。

And there you have it.

拿走不谢,

Pieces that at one time defined a teen girl's bedroom and some knowledge from those who knew about them.

以上就是90年代女中学生房间最主要的几种装饰品啦,分享来自对此颇为了解的一位姐妹。
