 French fashion legend Pierre Cardin gestures during a news conference in Moscow, May 28, 2010.(Agencies) |

Today's fashion designers change styles much too fast, partly due to twice-yearly collections, making it harder to create couture that lasts for years, designer Pierre Cardin said on Tuesday. In Tokyo for a show co-sponsored by a Japanese department store, the 88-year-old doyen of French fashion also said that it is now much harder for designers than when he first started in the business roughly 60 years ago. "After the war, there were very few designers. Now there are so many designers around the world, in every country. It is impossible to change the fashions every year, every six months," he told a news conference. "There are lots of designs that are very beautiful, crazy, fantastic on the eyes, but they are not making fashion for tomorrow. You can see it anywhere... but four or five years later, no fashion." Cardin also said that when he launched his own label in 1950 he was told that what he was doing was "impossible" and that only belief in himself and obsession carried him through. "At the time I was told that trying to make what I did was like trying to walk on the moon -- impossible. It was my strategy to believe that one day a man goes up," he said. "My work was like an addiction. That's why I've been able to do it for so long." Cardin has become a household name on products around the world from couture clothing to alarm clocks. He was the first Western couturier to turn to Japan as a high fashion market in the late 1950s and later China in 1975. The designer was expelled from the Chambre Syndicale -- the monitoring body of Haute Couture in Paris -- for launching a ready-to-wear collection in 1959, but was soon reinstated.

服裝設(shè)計(jì)師皮爾?卡丹周二說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在的服裝設(shè)計(jì)師風(fēng)格轉(zhuǎn)變得太快，一半是因?yàn)橐荒陜纱蔚臅r(shí)裝發(fā)布會(huì)，使得設(shè)計(jì)出經(jīng)久耐看的衣服變得更加困難。 這位88歲的法國(guó)時(shí)裝界元老在東京參加由某日本百貨商場(chǎng)共同贊助的時(shí)裝秀時(shí)還說(shuō)，比起他60年前在這一行起步之時(shí)，現(xiàn)在的服裝設(shè)計(jì)師要出成果更加困難。 他在一個(gè)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上說(shuō)：“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束那會(huì)兒，服裝設(shè)計(jì)師非常少。而現(xiàn)在全世界的每個(gè)國(guó)家都有這么多服裝設(shè)計(jì)師。要想每年甚至每六個(gè)月就轉(zhuǎn)變一次時(shí)裝風(fēng)格是不可能的。” “現(xiàn)在的很多服裝設(shè)計(jì)都很漂亮，很有創(chuàng)意，非常吸引人的眼球，但這些服裝不是面向未來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)的。你到處都可以看見(jiàn)它們，然而四五年過(guò)后，這些衣服就不再時(shí)尚。” 卡丹還說(shuō)，當(dāng)他在1950年開(kāi)創(chuàng)自己的品牌時(shí)，人們對(duì)他說(shuō)他正在做的是“不可能的事情”，但他只相信自己，再加上他對(duì)服裝設(shè)計(jì)的癡迷，幫助他度過(guò)了一切。 他說(shuō)：“那時(shí)候別人告訴我，我想要做到的事情就像試圖在月球上行走一樣，是不可能的。但我相信，一個(gè)人總有一天會(huì)熬出頭，這是我當(dāng)時(shí)的對(duì)策。” “我的工作就像是一個(gè)嗜好。這就是我為什么能夠堅(jiān)持做這么久的原因。” 皮爾卡丹已經(jīng)成為全世界家喻戶(hù)曉的名字，他所經(jīng)營(yíng)的產(chǎn)品從時(shí)裝到鬧鐘，一應(yīng)俱全。他在20世紀(jì)50年代末和1975年分別進(jìn)軍日本和中國(guó)的時(shí)裝市場(chǎng)，成為首個(gè)開(kāi)辟日本和中國(guó)高級(jí)時(shí)裝市場(chǎng)的西方時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師。 1959年，這位設(shè)計(jì)師由于開(kāi)辦一個(gè)成衣時(shí)裝發(fā)布會(huì)而被巴黎的高級(jí)時(shí)裝監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)法國(guó)高級(jí)時(shí)裝協(xié)會(huì)開(kāi)除，不過(guò)后來(lái)他很快就恢復(fù)原職。 相關(guān)閱讀 英國(guó)研制出一次性水溶婚紗 時(shí)尚且環(huán)保 設(shè)計(jì)師為日本女宇航員打造時(shí)尚太空服 流行趨勢(shì)：頂級(jí)品牌Prada2010春裝秀 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 陳丹妮 編輯：馮明惠） |
