Those who wanted to dismiss Lagerfeld referred to him as a “styliste”:a designer who creates his looks by changing what already exists,as opposed to inventing anything new.But he rejected the idea of fashion-as-art,and the designer-as-torturedgenius.His goal was more opportunistic.

“Iwould like to be a one-manmultinational fashion phenomenon,” he once said.他曾經說道：“我要成為獨領全球時尚風向的人?！?/p>

Ⅱ.寫作推薦

“It is inarguable that...”……是無可爭辯的。

It is inarguable that his name has been in lights from the very earliest moments of his fashion career.有一點是無可爭辯的：他的名字從他的時尚生涯最開始的時刻起就一直是光芒四射的。

【點石成金】句中的inarguable是由動詞argue加詞后綴-able后，再加上否定的詞前綴in-構成的。后綴-able表示“能”的意思，如adjustable“可調節的”、respectable“可敬的”，以及adaptable“可適應的”。 詞前綴 in-表示“不；否定”的意思，如 incorrect“不正確的”、inability“無能”，以及inaccurate“不準確的”。句中的It充當的是形式主語，代替的是that引導的主語從句。

【仿寫】卡爾·拉格斐是20和21世紀最高產的設計師，這一點是無可爭辯的。

時尚界“愷撒大帝”去世，享年85歲

卡爾·拉格斐，這位20和21世紀最高產的設計師，這個用個人事業定義了現代奢侈品時尚行業的男人，本周二于巴黎去世。

“他比我認識的任何人都更能代表時尚的靈魂：焦躁不安、目光前瞻，并且極度關注我們不斷變化的文化。”美國Vogue雜志主編安娜·溫圖爾在2015年英國時尚大獎上向卡爾·拉格斐頒發 “杰出成就獎”時這樣評價道。

拉格斐先生是當之無愧的 “時尚鬼才”。他于

1983年和1965年起，分別擔任香奈兒和芬迪的創意總監，同時還是自己品牌的創始人。在他80歲之后，當大多數同齡人都已退休，在游艇或鄉間莊園安度晚年時，他仍保持每年平均設計14個新系列的產品，其范圍涵蓋了高級定制到高街服裝，其中還不包括合作系列和特別項目。

他最偉大的事業是成為“卡爾·拉格斐”這個神話的締造者。他將“夸張而怪誕”作為自己的定義：戴著墨鏡，梳著搽粉的馬尾辮，身著黑色牛仔褲戴著露指手套，衣領因上漿而筆挺，佩戴克羅心飾品，還迷戀著喝健怡可樂。以此形象示人的他，名聲享譽全球的同時，也招來了不少爭議。2014年，價值 200美元的“芭比卡爾”由他和玩具制造商美泰聯合設計推出，不到一小時就銷售一空。

卡爾·拉格斐1933年9月10日出生于德國漢堡。不過，正如他的同齡人阿澤丁·阿拉伊亞習慣做的那樣，拉格斐經常謊稱自己的年齡、他父母的職業和背景。但有一點是無可爭辯的：他的名字從他的時尚生涯最開始的時刻起就一直是光芒四射的。

那些想趕拉格斐下臺的人稱他僅僅是位“服裝設計師”：那類不創造新元素，只通過改造現存元素來設計造型的設計師。但拉格斐本人拒絕接受“時尚即藝術和設計師是飽受折磨的天才”這樣的理念。他的目標中，機會主義的成分更多。
