: pas "concentré" mais le contraire, une version moins riche, moins détaillée que le New Look veritable.

40\'s abbreviated
les années 40 avec ses robes raccourcies
Je pense qu' "abbreviated" fait référence aux robes raccourcies de l'époque !

Beila Goldberg
: Non pour l'explication, c'est maintenant que les robes sont raccourcies par rapport à l'époque. Et au lieu de" ses", j'écrirais "des robes raccourcies"

Pourquoi pas Beila, merci, traditionnellement, le "New Look" est synonyme de la femme qui porte des robes longues et les années 40 correspondent à la femme qui porte des robes raccourcies !

Claire Chapman
: It is the STYLE of the time period that is abbreviated, not the clothes themselves :-)

un style abrégé des années 40
The phrase is referring to the STYLE of the 40's, which is abbreviated, not to the garments themselves being shortened or made smaller. My first reference gives a very good explanation of this idea of abbreviated style.
Gruppé, who is listed in Who’s Who in American Art, paints in what he calls a controlled, impressionistic style. "I try to paint in an abbreviated style," he says, "…quickly – inferring rather than stating completely the subject."

3. constituting a shorter or smaller version of: The large car was an abbreviated limousine.
ab•bre•vi•ate tr.v. ab•bre•vi•at•ed, ab•bre•vi•at•ing, ab•bre•vi•ates
2. To reduce (a word or phrase) to a shorter form intended to represent the full form.

Dans la peinture chinoise, écartelée entre deux styles, le style "abrégé" et le style "détaillé", se sont développées des techniques variées du pinceau et de l’encre.

Le nom d'un Couturier est-il mentionné?
S'agit-il d'un reportage, d'une rétrospective, d'un défilé, des nouvelles tendances?
