French fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, who created famous looks for Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy, has died at the age of 91.
法國時尚設計師于貝爾?德?紀梵希（于10日）逝世，享年91歲。他曾經為奧黛麗?赫本、格蕾絲?凱麗和杰奎琳?肯尼迪等名人打造過經典形象。

紀梵希工作室發布了他去世的消息。

很難過地告訴大家，紀梵希工作室創始人于貝爾?德?紀梵希逝世。他是法國高級時裝界的名人，在全球享有盛譽，也是過去50多年來代表巴黎時尚與優雅的紳士。我們將永遠懷念他。

His partner Philippe Venet, a former couture designer, confirmed the news.
紀梵希的伴侶于貝爾?塔凡證實了這一消息。于貝爾?塔凡也曾是一名時尚設計師。

The enduring appeal of Givenchy was showcased at this year's Oscars, where Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman wore a custom design.
今年的奧斯卡頒獎典禮也體現了紀梵希經久不衰的吸引力，出演電影《黑豹》的男星查德維克?博斯曼就穿了一件紀梵希品牌的定制服裝。

《神奇女俠》主演蓋爾?加朵也在奧斯卡頒獎禮上穿了紀梵希品牌的服裝。

But the designer is best known for the "little black dress" worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
但紀梵希本人最知名的設計作品還是奧黛麗?赫本在影片《蒂凡尼的早餐》中身穿的小黑裙。

The friendship between Givenchy and Hepburn endured for 40 years, and helped cement his place in fashion - and cinema - history.
紀梵希和赫本之間的友誼持續了40年之久，這也鞏固了他在時尚史和電影史中的位置。

She became his muse, and he designed her suits and woollen dresses for the musical Funny Face in 1957, and the light-hearted heist caper How to Steal a Million in 1966.
赫本成為了他的繆斯女神。赫本在1957年的音樂片《甜姐兒》和1966年輕松愉快的盜竊影片《偷龍轉鳳》中身穿的套裝和羊毛裙都是紀梵希設計的。

紀梵希其人

Givenchy came from an aristocratic background, and worked alongside the then unknown Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior after World War Two.
紀梵希來自貴族家庭，二戰后曾與當時還不出名的皮埃爾?巴爾曼和克麗斯汀?迪奧一起工作。

他自幼就展露其藝術天份，十歲時參觀巴黎萬國博覽會的服裝館之后，便決定成為一位時裝設計師。

His family -- his father was the marquis of Givenchy -- had hoped their son would become a lawyer but the young man, who stood 1.96 metres tall, was drawn to fashion and design from a young age, moving to Paris to study at 17.
他的父親是紀梵希家族的侯爵，家人希望紀梵希能當一名律師，但這位身高1.96米的年輕人自小就被時尚設計吸引，17歲時前往巴黎學習。

He was employed by the avant-garde designer Elsa Schiaparelli before leaving to found his own fashion house in 1952.
他曾被前衛設計師伊爾莎?斯奇培爾莉雇傭，1952年離開并創辦了自己的工作室。

1952年2月2日他首度在巴黎推出個人的作品發布會。在這場以白色棉布為主，輔以典雅刺繡與華麗珠飾的時裝展中，他的創意才華令在場人士驚艷不已，同時也奠定了紀梵希 (GIVENCHY) 在時裝界的尊崇形象。幾十年來此品牌一直以“優雅的風格”而著稱于世。

His first collection -- unveiled in 1952 -- won recognition the day it was presented: Givenchy rang up 7 million francs (approximately 1 million euros) of orders, enough to allow him to pay off his backers and assume ownership himself.
1952年他首度推出個人作品發布會，立刻就獲得了人們的認可。他拿到了700萬法郎（大約100萬歐元，約合780萬元人民幣）的定單，足夠他付清贊助款項，成立獨立品牌。

There he introduced the concept of "separates" - blouse, skirt, jacket and trousers combinations that could be mixed and matched.
他還在自己的品牌中推出了“可搭配”設計概念，也就是可以混搭的上衣、裙子、夾克和褲子套裝。

1953年，紀梵希開始為好萊塢電影明星設計服裝，并受到前所未有的歡迎。

兩個世界著名女性——奧黛莉.赫本(Audrey Hepburn)和杰奎琳·肯尼迪(Jackie Kennedy)，演繹了紀梵希的經典設計風格：精致高雅典范。

當奧黛莉·赫本身著他設計的白色禮服出現在著名影片《情歸巴黎》(Sabrina)中時，紀梵希開始受到國際關注。從1953年延續到90年代，奧黛莉·赫本式晚禮服一直是紀梵希服飾的象征與標志。

In 1988, he sold his fashion house to the luxury brand LVMH.
1988年，他將自己的品牌出售給路易?威登奢侈品集團。

此后，他擔任設計師至1995年。
