P.S. Heather told me that Ottawa was NOT the fashion capital of Canada, rather Montreal or Toronto were so I got a hold of them and told them that. Some of the other stuff...not sure what to say (for example I do not even know what they mean by cowboy suit?) I was not sure what to do....so I just agreed with them.
Anyway, hard hitting journalism at it's best - enjoy!
Interview
EC: Hi, Gallan.
G: Hi, you guys!
EC: 2011 is known as the year of the rabbit. Since rabbits eat vegetables, green is known as its main symbol color. Rabbits are also very cute, and can be associated with a color like pink. These are then believed to be two of the more popular colors in Chinese fashion this year. What's the popular color in Canada this year?
G: Well, different people seem to wear clothes with different colors, but traditionally the majority of young students often wear blue jeans.
EC: Many girls in our colleges have the hair style, which is like a stone. What hair style do Canadian female students have? Do they usually go to the barbershops to design their hair styles?
G: I am not real sure what the current hairstyle is, but I think most of the young girls like to wear ponytails. Some of the boys go to barbershops, but I think most of the student’s go to hair salons (which are kind of like a fancy barbershop). Not many students go to get their hair curled; more often they go to get it cut.
EC: As far as I can see, "Fashion" is not only designed to the young but also to the old. How do the old treat the fashion?
G: Oh, I think fashion is mostly related to the young. Older people do not buy many new clothes and are usually not concerned about style. Older people in Canada usually buy clothes when their old stuff wears out or needs replacing. We don't think it is necessary to by something new just to be fashionable.
EC: Wow.... As we all know, the capital of Canada is Ottawa. It's one of the most beautiful cities all over the world. Are there some special fashion element?
G: Well, Ottawa is a government town, but it is not necessarily the fashion center. Actually, Montreal or maybe Toronto is felt to the main fashion centers for Canada….but I think blue jeans remain very popular with young buyers.
EC: OK. Some fashion is how you look or what you wear, but I think something like reading books can also be a form of fashion, it has inner wisdom. What's your opinion about it?
G: Yeah... I like reading all kinds of books and I'll show you some.
EC: It is also accepted that coffee is a symbol of fad in food field. Do you think so?
G: Yes, I do. In Canada, many people drink coffee. I know most mornings I usually drink a cup of coffee.
EC: Well, in different ages, the fashion is different. In China, in the war age, the fad was army and weapon. In the peace age, the fad is sports activities. Furthermore, in 2008, the fad was Olympic wear. Can you give us some examples of fad in Canadian different ages?
G: I can try, but it seems to change a lot. For example, in 2006, the clothes were big. People wore oversize pants, and big T-shirts, and then later they went to skinny jeans and tighter shirts. It's the style of that period of time. However, I’m not sure what it is now, it seems to change all the time.
EC: We know you are a teacher of Medicine College. Is there some fashion element at your college?
G: Most students seem to wear lots of different styles; I don’t think there are any rules that limit students' clothes, so they usually wear what they like.
EC: Nowadays, young people like to wear cowboy suits. And they think it looks like more capable and relaxed. Do you like it? What's more, some girls like to put bowknots on their clothes, just be fit for their characters.
Is there the same phenomenon in Canada?
G: Yes, I love cowboy suit. Even in college, some boys wear them. As for girls, some might have many rings on the noses or ears. Lots of them seem to dress to suit their own character.
EC: It's quite a lot. Thanks for accepting our interview.
G: You’re welcome, thanks for coming.
