時尚界的「老佛爺」Karl Lagerfeld在2019年2月19日在巴黎逝世,鋪天蓋地的追悼與弔唁恍如昨日。然而回看圈內人對他的追憶,無不是將重點放在了其待人處世的智慧和幽默,對於設計和行業的發展都有別樹一幟的看法和影響深遠的前瞻性。

出生在德國漢堡的Karl Lagerfeld 1965年開始與意大利品牌Fendi合作,是革新Chanel的幕後推手,後來將其願景推至個人同名品牌、攝影、書籍等領域。他為了穿Hedi Slimane的設計狂減90磅成為無人超越的例子,「工作至死」是他的座右銘,因其口無遮攔的言論更被人告上法庭⋯⋯種種事蹟只能用「傳奇」來形容他的一生。

青春,是一種中年人的虛構人物,好讓其他人覺得自己更老。(Youth is an invention of middle-aged people to make others feel older.)

黑與白看起來就是「modern」,管它這個字是什麼意思。(Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means. )

『再沒有時尚』是荒謬的說法。無時尚的時尚仍然是時尚。而時尚是不會等人的火車,要不快上車,要不它便消失。(To say that there is no fashion anymore is ridiculous. The fashion of no-fashion is still fashion. And fashion is a train that waits for nobody. Get on it, or it’s gone.)

風格是什麼,風格是從打破常規,擊碎已被接受的現實開始。(What is a ‘style’? It starts with breaking away from convention, smashing accepted reality. )
