| Jackie Kennedy is an important figure in discussing the rhetoric of fashion. |
Jackie Kennedy este o figura importanta in discutia despre retorica modei. |
| As first lady, she was part of the elite, ruling class. |
Ca prima doamna, a facut parte din clasa de elita, de guvernare. |
| As is normally the case with fashion trends, the ruling class establishes the fashion trends, and lower classes then attempt to emulate those styles. |
Cum e normal in cazul trendurilor din moda, cei de la conducere stabilesc trendurile in moda iar clasele de jos incearca sa copieze acele stiluri. |
| Those who imitated Jackie Kennedy's style did so not only because they liked her sense of style, but they also wanted to identify with those aspects of her life that her style brought with it: wealth, power, and social status. |
Acelea care au imitat stilul lui Jackie Kennedy au facut asta nu doar pentru ca le placea simtul ei stilistic, dar de asemenea voiau sa se identifice cu acele aspecte din viata sa care au venit odata cu stilul: bunastarea, puterea si statutul social. |
| Celebrity figures such as Jackie Kennedy provide us with the most accessible vision of what it means to be wealthy. |
Celebritatile precum Jackie Kennedy ne furnizeaza cele mai accesibile viziuni a ceea ce inseamna bunastare. |
| Their style and their fashion choices become culturally understood symbols that represent wealth and power. |
Stilul acestora si alegerile in materie de moda devin simboluri intelese cultural ce reprezinta bunastare si putere. |
| Once the “refined taste” of the elite is adopted by lower classes, (for example: imitation Louis Vuitton handbags, fake Chanel sunglasses) the elite then shift gears and establish a new high-fashion trend that places them back at the top of the fashion pyramid. |
Odata ce "stilul rafinat" al elitei este adoptat de catre clasele de jos, (de exemplu: imitatiile gentilor Louis Vuitton, ochelarii contrafacuti Chanel), cei din elita schimba apoi directia si stabileste o noua tendinta inalta de moda care sa-i plaseze din nou in topul piramidei. |
| Many times, the trend among the elite is to wear clothing that appears “casual” and “low-maintenance,” (all while costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars) – but as soon as the actual casual and low maintenance wearers adopt those trends, the style changes. |
De multe ori, tendinta celor din elita este sa poarte haine care par "lejere" si "neprentioase", (care sa coste sute sau chiar mii de dolari) - dar odata ce purtatorii de haine lejere si nepretentioase adopta acele trenduri, stilul se schimba. |
