传奇时装设计师奥斯卡·德拉伦塔逝世

Iconic fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has died, a family member told ABC News. He was 82.

De la Renta was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

Born in the Dominican Republic in 1932, de la Renta left home at 18 to study painting in Madrid. It was there he developed a love of fashion design and began an apprenticeship with Cristóbal Balenciaga, who became his mentor, and then, landed a job with Lanvin in Paris. Soon after, he moved to New York City.

"When I first arrived here in 1963, all the names on clothes were the name of [the store]," he told Gotham magazine last year. "You made your clothes, you sold them to the store, and they quickly removed the label and put the label of the store. If it was a dress at Saks Fifth Avenue, the label was Saks Fifth Avenue. Bergdorf Goodman was Bergdorf Goodman. But it was a time of transition."

In 1965, the designer launched his own label, and soon caught the eye of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Other first ladies including Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton would follow suit, as well as a bevy of A-list stars, from Amy Adams to Sandra Bullock to Jessica Biel and countless others.

He also launched a successful bridal line, and most recently, designed Amal Clooney's wedding gown.

"George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic and elegant, and I can't imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood in a dress," she told Vogue last month. "Meeting him made the design process all the more magical, as he is so warm and such a gentleman."

The fashion designer is survived by his wife, Annette, and a son, Moises, as well as stepchildren and step-grandchildren.

De la Renta, who won a bevy of fashion awards in his lifetime, including two Council of Fashion Designers Designer of the Year Awards, a CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award and two COTY Awards, always appreciated every moment of his high-profile life.

"A huge mistake we make is forgetting that one day we will die. We think that we are going to live forever. I always say life is a little like a garden. There is a time to plant, then a time you have to weed. Just think about people you've deeply cared for. And then think of the people you wish you'd spent more time with," he told Gotham. "I always say this: Live, love and laugh."

 

据美国广播公司新闻网报道,殿堂级时装设计师奥斯卡·德拉伦塔(Oscar de la Renta)离世,享年82岁。

德拉伦塔于2006年诊断出患癌。

1932年生于多米尼加共和国的德拉伦塔18岁就离开家乡,前往马德里学习绘画。正是在马德里,德拉伦塔培养出了对时尚设计的兴趣,并成为克里斯托巴尔·巴伦西亚加(Cristóbal Balenciaga)的学徒,接着在巴黎的浪凡(Lanvin)找到工作,后来没过多久就搬去纽约。

在2013年接受《Gotham》杂志采访的时候,德拉伦塔说:“我1963年到纽约的时候,所有衣服上的名字都是商店的名字,你设计好衣服,卖给商店,他们很快摘掉衣服上原有的标签,然后贴上他们商店的标签。如果是衣服在萨克斯第五大道精品百货店(Saks Fifth Avenue),那上面的标签就是萨克斯第五大道精品百货店。如果衣服在波道夫古德曼百货店(Bergdorf Goodman),那上面的标签就是波道夫古德曼。但那是一个过渡时期。”

1965年,德拉伦塔推出自己的品牌,很快这一行为就引起了前第一夫人杰奎琳·肯尼迪(Jacqueline Kennedy)的注意,后来南希·里根(Nancy Reagan)等其他第一夫人和美国国务卿希拉里(Hillary Clinton)跟进,以及数不清的大牌明星,包括艾米·亚当斯(Amy Adams)、桑德拉·布洛克(Sandra Bullock)和杰西卡·贝尔(Jessica Biel)等。

德拉伦塔还成功创立了婚纱品牌,最近完婚的阿尔玛·克鲁尼(Amal Clooney)的婚纱就是出自他之手。

阿尔玛在9月接受《Vogue》杂志采访时说:“乔治和我想要一个浪漫又雅致的婚礼,我想不到还有谁比德拉伦塔更适合将这种基调运用到婚纱当中。”她还提道:“和德拉伦塔的会面让整个设计过程变得更加有魔力,他是如此的温暖,并且是个十足的绅士。”

这位时尚设计师德拉伦塔留下妻子安妮特(Annette)、儿子摩西(Moises)以及继子女、继孙们先行一步。

德拉伦塔在他的一生中获得大量的时尚奖项,包括两次年度时尚设计师设计师协会奖,美国时装设计师协会终身成就奖,两次科蒂奖。他一直感激自己这备受瞩目的生命中的每一刻。

“我们犯的一个严重的错误就是认为自己将会永远地活着,殊不知终有一天我们将离开人世。我总说生命就像一个小花园,需要我们花时间去播种,除草。多想想你在乎的人、你愿意花更多时间去陪伴的人。我总是说带着爱和欢乐好好生活。”德拉伦塔在接受《Gotham》杂志采访时如是说。
