傳統60後裁縫專做cosplay服裝月入過萬
A 49-year-old man named Jiang Keqin from Taixing, Jiangsu province runs a tailor shop specializing in cosplay costumes.
江蘇泰興一位名叫蔣克勤的49歲男子經營了一家專門製作cosplay服裝的裁縫店。Jiang has gained an excellent reputation among local cosplayers after years of working in this field.
在這個領域工作多年之後，蔣克勤在當地的角色扮演者之間贏得了很好的聲譽。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.
蔣克勤出自一個裁縫世家，於1994年在上海開了他的裁縫店。後來當裁縫這一行業走下坡路時，他開始專門做服裝。
He made a name for himself among cosplayers after he created an elaborate pirate costume for a female cosplayer.
在爲一個女性角色扮演者製作了一件精美的海盜服之後，他在角色扮演者之間出了名。Soon, as more cosplayers hired Jiang to make costumes for them, he became the local tailor for cosplay costumes.
很快，隨着更多的角色扮演者僱用蔣克勤爲他們做服裝，他就成了當地製作角色扮演服裝的專業裁縫。
"Tailoring such costumes is not easy," said Jiang, who reads comic books in his spare time to study the latest designs of animation costumes.
蔣克勤表示：“剪裁這樣的服裝不是一件容易的事情。”他在業餘時間看漫畫書，研究動漫服裝的最新設計。Indeed, cosplay has become a huge industry, encompassing publications, props, dancing, costumes, art and more, explained Jiang.
蔣克勤解釋成，事實上，角色扮演現在已經成爲一個巨大的產業，包括出版物、道具、舞蹈、服裝、藝術等等。"I’m only one part of the industrial chain," he added.
“我做的只是產業鏈的一部分，”他補充說道。In addition to individual cosplayers, Jiang has also begun tailoring costumes for small-scale game companies.
除了個人角色扮演者，蔣克勤也開始爲小型的遊戲公司量身打造服裝。Currently, Jiang earns more than a 10,000 RMB per month ($1,477). He believes the industry will continue to grow.
目前，蔣克勤每個月可以掙得1萬多元（摺合1,477美元）的收入。他相信這個行業將會繼續成長。
