法國傳奇設(shè)計師紀梵希去世 享年91歲

Hubert de Givenchy, the French couturier,died on Saturday at his home outside Paris. He was 91.

法國著名服裝設(shè)計師于貝爾·德·紀梵希(Hubert de Givenchy)于周六去世，享年91歲。

Philippe Venet, his longtime companion and a former couture designer, confirmed the death.

紀梵希的配偶、曾是一位高級女士時裝設(shè)計師的菲利普·韋內(nèi)證實了這一消息。

Mr. Givenchy upheld a standard of quintessentially romantic elegance in fashion for more than four decades, dressing the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Grace Kelly and memorably Audrey Hepburn, in a little black dress, in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

紀梵希在超過40年的時間里，秉承一種典型的浪漫典雅風格，受到杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奧納西斯(Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis)、格蕾絲·凱莉(Grace Kelly)和奧黛麗·赫本(Audrey Hepburn)等人的青睞。在電影《蒂芙尼的早餐》中，赫本身穿紀梵希黑色小禮服的形象成為熒幕經(jīng)典。

Mr. Givenchy was emblematic of a generation of gentlemanly designers who established their couture houses in postwar Paris, nurturing personal relationships with customers and creating entire collections with specific women in mind.

紀梵希被廣泛認為是一代紳士設(shè)計師的典型代表，他們在戰(zhàn)后的巴黎建立了高級時裝店，培養(yǎng)了與顧客的個人關(guān)系，并為特定的女性創(chuàng)造了整個系列。

Since his retirement from fashion in 1995, Mr. Givenchy remained active in the arts as an antiques expert for Christie’s, the Château de Versailles and the Louvre museum. He also managed the French branch of the World Monuments Fund for several years.

自1995年退休后，紀梵希作為佳士得、凡爾賽宮和盧浮宮博物館的古董專家繼續(xù)活躍于藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域，并負責管理世界遺產(chǎn)基金法國分部數(shù)年。
