Diane von Furstenberg designs Ohio hospital gowns黛安．馮福斯坦柏格為俄亥俄州醫院設計病人袍

 ◎張沛元
Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg has helped the Cleveland Clinic create a more stylish hospital gown without the peek-a-boo back.
服裝設計師黛安．馮福斯坦柏格已協助克里夫蘭診所創造更有型、且身體後方春光不會若隱若現的醫院病人袍。
The gown features elements associated with von Furstenberg designs - a wrap dress with a bold, graphic print. The clinic’s logo is printed on the fabric.
這款病人袍帶有馮福斯坦柏格的設計特色——一件上面有粗體圖案印花的圍裹式洋裝。該診所的標誌印在布料上。
The gown has side ties, which eliminate the embarrassing open-back look.
這件病人袍的側邊有綁帶，減少（舊型病人袍因採後面綁帶方式以致）後面門戶大開的尷尬。
The Plain Dealer says the fabric was chosen to address a concern that patients were too warm in the hospital.
殷商報說，這種布料之所以獲選用來製作病人袍，在於因應病人在醫院裡覺得太熱的顧慮。
So designers had to find a material lightweight enough to be cool but tough enough to withstand frequent laundering and having monitors and drains pinned to it.
所以設計師們必須找出一種材料，既輕盈到足以讓人覺得涼爽，又堅韌到足以挺得過經常有監視器與管子釘在上面。
Feedback has been mostly positive. Some men have complained that the gown is too feminine, so the design team is considering an alternate print.
該款病人袍的回應大多都相當正面。有些男病患抱怨新病人袍太娘，因此設計團隊正在考慮另一種印花。
