English translation: Fashion Review/La Mode

Chinese term or phrase: 时尚扫瞄

Jerry
English translation:Fashion Review/La Mode
Explanation:
"Sao miao" is usually translated as "scan", but it can mean looking carefully or a quick glance. I think for this program, the first explanation is better. However, I don't think "scan" is very appropriate for the name. We have this fashion program in Taiwan called "La Mode", which reports the latest news in the fashion world.

Glimpse除了瞥见、一瞥之外，还有扫视的意思。
美国这里的时尚杂志用的是法语Vogue。
Fashion似乎太偏向于时装，所义用Styles。

agree  Summit: but don't we need to keep the issue of protected copy or patent rights in mind? Other than this, one might like to distinguish he/she as a Pioneer or Follower
