The Museum of London recently debuted Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die, a major exhibition devoted the fictional detective and the real city he inhabited. The items on display include a rare manuscript of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Murders in Rue Morgue—a key influence on Holmes’s creator, Arthur Conan Doyle—and a portrait of Conan Doyle never before seen in public. But alongside these one-of-a-kind historical treasures, visitors will find two curiously modern artifacts: the coat and dressing gown worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, the BBC’s 21st-century reboot of the Holmes stories. While these costumes are obvious bait for fanboys (and fangirls) who might not be clued into the Victorian literary sensation behind the modern-day television sensation, they also serve as a reminder that Holmes’s fashion choices, from page to screen, have always launched real-world trends. In Conan Doyle’s lifetime, Holmes’s name and likeness were used to advertise pipes and shirts as well as tea, toffee, and mouthwash. More recently, Esquire, FHM, and GQ have advised readers on how to get the Sherlock look. The exhibition provides a retrospective of Sherlockian style, investigating how it has evolved while retaining its instantly recognizable Victorian fashion DNA. The museum even commissioned a Scottish textile mill to create a signature tweed in Holmes’s honor, and a concurrent show features fashion photographer Kasia Wozniak’s prints made using a 1890 field camera.

夏洛克·福爾摩斯:從未存在 永遠(yuǎn)流傳(Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die)——這是英國倫敦博物館正在舉行的首場大型福爾摩斯展的名稱。這場關(guān)于柯南·道爾(Arthur Conan Doyle)筆下虛構(gòu)大偵探的展覽,還向參觀者還原了當(dāng)時真實的倫敦城——福爾摩斯的倫敦城。本次展出的展品包括埃德加·愛倫·坡(Edgar Allan Poe)小說《莫格街謀殺案》的罕見手稿,該手稿對柯南·道爾創(chuàng)作出福爾摩斯這一人物起到了關(guān)鍵性作用。此外,一幅之前從未公開的柯南·道爾的肖像也在展品之列。而除了這些獨一無二的歷史寶藏,參觀者們還將看到兩件奇怪的現(xiàn)代展品:英國廣播公司(BBC)出品的系列《神探夏洛克》(Sherlock)中,夏洛克扮演者“卷福”本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇(Benedict Cumberbatch)在劇中所穿的大衣和睡袍。 對那些癡迷“卷福”和《神探夏洛克》卻對其原著和維多利亞文學(xué)無感的少男少女們來說,這兩件戲服的誘惑無疑是巨大的。然而,這也從另一個側(cè)面提醒我們,從書本到熒幕,福爾摩斯一直引領(lǐng)著社會的時尚潮流??履稀さ罓柹畹哪莻€時代,福爾摩斯的名字和肖像被用來宣傳煙斗、襯衫、茶、太妃糖甚至是漱口水。如今,《時尚先生》( Esquire)、《男人裝》(FHM)、《紳士季刊》(CQ)則給讀者提供了夏洛克風(fēng)格的紳士范穿搭指南。本次展覽回溯了夏洛克風(fēng)格的發(fā)展歷程,研究了夏洛克風(fēng)格如何在其演變發(fā)展的過程中,依然保有鮮明的維多利亞時尚元素。倫敦博物館還委托一家蘇格蘭紡織廠特制出一件福爾摩斯紀(jì)念款簽名花呢大衣,并同時展出了時尚攝影師卡西亞·沃茲尼亞克(Kasia Wozniak)用1890年款便攜式相機(jī)拍攝的作品。
