htmlOn the evening of February 19, I was running at night and received a push - Chanel , Lord Lafayette passed away. For me, who can spend a winter by constantly changing the inner layer of a down vest, it seems to have nothing to do with fashion. But even if I am a straight man like me, I have a little understanding and reflection of Lord Lafayette, and you can know how much influence this old man has in the world.
In China, you may not know Karl Lagerfeld. But if you ask Chanel Laffel, I believe that many people will have an image of silver hair tied with ponytails, sunglasses, white shirt, black suit, and leather gloves.
I can’t say tribute to Lord Lafayette, at best, it can only be considered respect - to pay tribute to someone who has no intersection with my life, it feels like it is a bit of a play to me. But it is nothing wrong to maintain respect for those who stand at the top of the pyramid in a certain field.
So in this article, I will not discuss too much about the achievements of Lafayette in the fashion industry with you, nor will I complain without any reason, "Why did Lafayette leave before I bought CHANEL?"
is given to fashion bloggers and some late-stage youths in their literature and art diseases - the key is that for most people who only have the ability to buy the Chanel 255 series, I want to say that you have little to do with Lafayette.
After all, the death of Lord Lafayette makes me think of only two things: One is that I am worried that my girlfriend will be excited to buy a Chanel bag at this critical moment. On the surface, she pays tribute to Lord Lafayette, but in fact she is just an excuse to buy a bag; the other is that I feel a little regret, this regret is not for the fashion industry, but for the automotive industry.
Lafayette stepped into the car circle with half of his foot
Lafayette not only has outstanding talents and top accomplishments in the fashion industry. He is proficient in four languages: English, French, German and Italian. He is also a photographer, bookstore owner, writer, and even a weight loss expert - so can Lafayette drink 10 cans of sugar-free cola every day change direction to prove that Fatty Happy Water can really make Fatty One do whatever she wants?
Back to the topic, the countless identities of Lord Lafayette can actually be divided into fields related to art and fashion in the end. This is because fashion and art should not have too strict definitions - "Art comes from life."
When people continue to pursue fashion and luxury, a single brand can no longer satisfy their desires. Therefore, the fusion, coexistence and mixing of multiple elements has become a natural trend.
Whether it is fashion and mobile phones, jewelry and watches, or even red wine and cigars, when everyone sees the gimmicks of cross-border marketing behind it, they have to admire the beauty of the cross-border and fusion of the kings in two different fields, making this new trend deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When we first saw the joint phone of Huawei and Porsche come out, when we were talking "why is it so expensive", we have to admit that the beauty has indeed increased by more than one level, which is the difference between practical and luxury goods.
On December 20, 2016, Galeries Lafayette appeared in Shanghai to participate in the 2016 Digital Fashion Festival Charity Night event. Of course, more importantly, the SAIC General Motors Buick brand has officially announced a cross-border cooperation with Lafayette, and will work together to create an art car for the first model of the new generation of GL8 Avenir, the first model under Buick's high-end sub-brand Avenir.
Rhombus checks have always been a classic element of Chanel. GL8 Avenir naturally incorporates a large number of diamond-woven aesthetic symbols, and this inspiration also comes from the chain mail of the medieval aristocrats of the Buick family logo.
For the cooperation with Buick, the Lao Fo said bluntly, "The Buick brand has a century-old history and profound aesthetic background. My father once owned a classic Buick sedan. For me, designing an art car for the GL8 Avenir is a tribute to the classic innovation attempt... What I love is trying to try something I have never tried.”
The last sentence points out the key points, we can vaguely feel that Lafayette has a little expectation in his heart for designing an artistic car, and this cooperation with Buick seems to be a simple test. Unfortunately, after more than two years of change, the GL8 Avenir has been launched, but the Laffer, who awakened Chanel, has been buried. We have never seen Laffer officially cross-border into the car circle.
God of Lafayette passed away What should I do with Chanel's dream of making a car?
Countless people have fantasized that if Chanel can produce a model across the border, it will definitely become the greatest mobile artwork. Before Lao Fu could make too many attempts and designs in this new field, he suddenly became a past trend.
In fact, as early as when Lafayette was still alive, a college student in South Korea designed a concept car that paid tribute to the Chanel brand - it was even rumored that it was written by Lafayette.
This concept car named Fiole is a 2+2-seat GT sports car. maintains an elegant and luxurious appearance while not lacking in dynamics. The smooth surface is like metal flowing. In order to conform to the unique temperament of the Chanel brand, this car only has two colors: black and white - in fact, this design language is really similar to the work of Lord Lafayette.
Half once said, "My design must be something that Cocoa (Chanel) doesn't like. Chanel has formed an image, and my task is to constantly update this image. I must find my identity." The reason why
said this is precisely because of the arrival of Lafayette that injected fresh blood into Chanel. The more vibrant and elegant design is the style of Lafayette, but in fact, those who really know it know that Lafayette did not design such a car by himself.
Although the possibility of mass production of this Fiole concept car is almost 0, I can be sure that Chanel will have further communication with the car sooner or later - fashion is inseparable from cross-border.
Currently, Fendi Although there has not yet been a statement on the successor of God Lafayette, Chanel officially announced on the 19th that it plans to appoint Ms. Virginie Viard, director of the fashion and creative studio, to be responsible for the company's design work and replace the vacancy of "Godlava". Viard is a close partner of "God Lafayette" for more than 30 years.
Perhaps one day, we will see a lot of shadows of Lafayette in Viard, and Chanel and Lafayette's dream of not being a big shot in the automotive industry may be realized by Viard.

Chewenshe postscript
Laofu himself once said, "Luxury should be something that people match after they have received good education and cultivation. Unfortunately, reality is different from it."
Luxury should coexist with its own status and cultivation. Luxury goods are not only expensive but also represent art, but in China, luxury goods seem to have become the capital for nouveau riche, and even some middle-class and even white-collar workers to show off. I believe that such a luxury environment is not something thatLaofu is willing to see.
So instead of lamenting that I didn’t have time to buy a Chanel bag before Lord Lafayette’s lifetime, the correct way to pay tribute to the old man is not to force a Chanel product, and then take a photo and post a message on Moments, “Salute to Lord Lafayette” is so superficial.
It is better to improve your cultivation and social status. The most important thing is your aesthetic taste. Otherwise, you can buy a package now, but if you wait until Chanel crosses the border with cars, you can only sigh through the ocean.
