English term or phrase: quicksilver
name of a clothing company

流银服装
Explanation:
liu2yin1fu2zhuang1
The word 'quicksilver' itself means "水银" in Chinese. In considering a brand name, we must combine the word meaning together with its application purpose.
In Chinese, "水银" also indicates '流银'(flowing silver).
If we quote this for your brand, it means that your garments give consumers sense of noble and fashionable.

银色年华


Explanation:
the translation of "流银" is not a good meaning in chinese,it means flowing out money,this translation "silver" means "银",and I think quick means fashion,and up-to-date, so I give "年华"means always keep up with time.
