Karl Lagerfeld 85, (1933-2019)

作為 20世紀至21世紀對時裝具有極大影響力的傳奇設計師 Karl Lagerfeld,於2019年2月19日巴黎離世,享年85年。他跨越60年的設計生涯奠定了現代奢華時尚產業的雛形,也是時裝創作力的代言人:給予 Chanel 第二重定義成為時裝界領銜的奢侈品牌龍頭、為 Fendi 顛覆皮草概念的 “Fun Fur” ,還有以別緻復古的舊製衣細節重塑 Chloé 品牌形象。諷刺的是 Karl Lagerfeld 能將 Chanel 的奢侈變得如空氣般珍貴,卻不能為自己同名品牌獲得相同的成功及知名度,雖然如此他過去的成功至今仍無人能匹敵,而 Anna Wintour 曾經以「時尚的靈魂」讚揚他過去傑出的成就及前瞻性的文化改革。

What I enjoy most is doing something I've never done before.

Emanuel Ungaro 85, (1933-2019)

一代時裝巨匠 Emanuel Ungaro 今年逝世,他是後20世紀巴黎最後一個獨立高級訂製的設計師。從1965年到2004年間,以嶄新的布料設計及實驗性的印花聞名;一直以來品牌對高級訂製服裝的堅持與創作,與20世紀後期的時裝潮流背道而馳,卻在沒有任何集團支持的背景下,成為時裝界內最後一道清泉。

曾是作為 Cristóbal Balenciaga 6年門徒的他,從 Balenciaga 學會高端精緻的剪裁技巧後,則在1960年開創了嶄新的年輕剪裁,減少笨拙而戲劇性的輪廓,同時融合古典主義和流行美學,展現豐富的地中海元素成為獨特的個人風格,定義出1980年代的前衛美感。

Josephus Thimister 57, (1962-2019)

相比起之前的設計巨匠,Josephus Thimister 這個名字有點陌生,但這來自荷蘭的設計師曾被《VOGUE》評為新世紀的時尚設計師。畢業於安特衛普的皇家藝術學院的他,被譽為1990年代末期最後一個天才設計師,其才華定義當時極簡主義的藝術時尚。

1992年至1997年接掌 Balenciaga 創意總監一職,首個高級訂製系列便以黑白兩色打造整個系列,其嫻熟成熟的剪裁技巧詮釋出獨特怪誕的前衛輪廓,此系列也奠定了 Balenciaga 標誌式的經典設計;隨後曾在2010年重返高級訂製時裝,以軍裝布料及帆布打造出高級奢華的時裝設計。

一直被憂鬱症困擾的他 ,步 Alexander McQueen 的後塵,於今年自殺離世。
