[Isaac Mizrahi on the Button]

No one knows who invented the button.
沒人知道誰發明了鈕扣。
-
It might have shown up as early as 2000 B.C.E.

It was decorative when it first started, just something pretty sewn onto your clothes.

Then about 3000 years later, someone finally invented the buttonhole, and buttons were suddenly useful.
然後三千年後,有人發明了鈕扣孔,鈕扣突然間變得有用了。
-
The button and the buttonhole is such a great invention.
鈕扣和鈕扣孔是很偉大的發明。
-
Not only does it slip through the buttonhole, but then it kind of falls into place, and so you're completely secure like it's never going to open.
鈕扣不只能輕鬆滑進釦孔,還能固定在原位,非常扎實,就像它絕對不會打開一樣。

There's either a dome button with a little shank, or there's just this sort of round thing with either a rim or not a rim, either two holes or four holes.

-
Almost more important than the button is the buttonhole.
鈕扣孔幾乎比鈕扣還重要。
-
And the way you figure that out is:

the diameter of the button plus the width of the button, plus a little bit of ease.
就是鈕扣的直徑加上厚度,再留一點點空間。

Before buttons, clothes were bigger.
在鈕扣發明前,衣服比現在做得更大。

They were more kind of amorphous, and people, like, wriggled into them or just kind of wrapped themselves in things.
衣服沒有固定形狀,人們比較像是把衣服纏在身上,或把自己包進衣服裡。

But then fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button.
但隨著人們學會應用鈕扣,衣服開始變得貼身。
-
At one time, it was the one way to make clothes fit against the body.
曾經,鈕釦是唯一做出貼身服飾的方法。
-
I think the reason buttons have endured for so long, historically, is because they actually work to keep our clothes shut.
我認為鈕扣之所以能維持流行這麼久,是因為它真的能扣緊衣服。

If you don't have good taste and you can't pick out a button, then let someone else do it, you know?
