传统60后裁缝专做cosplay服装月入过万
A 49-year-old man named Jiang Keqin from Taixing, Jiangsu province runs a tailor shop specializing in cosplay costumes.
江苏泰兴一位名叫蒋克勤的49岁男子经营了一家专门制作cosplay服装的裁缝店。Jiang has gained an excellent reputation among local cosplayers after years of working in this field.
在这个领域工作多年之后,蒋克勤在当地的角色扮演者之间赢得了很好的声誉。Coming from a family of tailors, Jiang started his Shanghai tailor shop in 1994. Later, he turned to costumes as a specialty when the tailoring business experienced a recession.
蒋克勤出自一个裁缝世家,于1994年在上海开了他的裁缝店。后来当裁缝这一行业走下坡路时,他开始专门做服装。
He made a name for himself among cosplayers after he created an elaborate pirate costume for a female cosplayer.
在为一个女性角色扮演者制作了一件精美的海盗服之后,他在角色扮演者之间出了名。Soon, as more cosplayers hired Jiang to make costumes for them, he became the local tailor for cosplay costumes.
很快,随着更多的角色扮演者雇用蒋克勤为他们做服装,他就成了当地制作角色扮演服装的专业裁缝。"Tailoring such costumes is not easy," said Jiang, who reads comic books in his spare time to study the latest designs of animation costumes.
蒋克勤表示:“剪裁这样的服装不是一件容易的事情。”他在业余时间看漫画书,研究动漫服装的最新设计。Indeed, cosplay has become a huge industry, encompassing publications, props, dancing, costumes, art and more, explained Jiang.
蒋克勤解释成,事实上,角色扮演现在已经成为一个巨大的产业,包括出版物、道具、舞蹈、服装、艺术等等。"I’m only one part of the industrial chain," he added.
“我做的只是产业链的一部分,”他补充说道。In addition to individual cosplayers, Jiang has also begun tailoring costumes for small-scale game companies.
除了个人角色扮演者,蒋克勤也开始为小型的游戏公司量身打造服装。Currently, Jiang earns more than a 10,000 RMB per month ($1,477). He believes the industry will continue to grow.
目前,蒋克勤每个月可以挣得1万多元(折合1,477美元)的收入。他相信这个行业将会继续成长。
