回顧Giorgio Armani先生留給世人的12條金句:
1.「創造非凡的作品,你必須時刻專注在那些最細微之處。」
“To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.”
2. 「時尚應該回應人們的需求,使生活更輕鬆、更美好。」
‘‘Fashion should respond to the needs of people, making life easier and more beautiful.”
3. 「我不喜歡那種盲目追逐時尚、成為時尚受害者的女性;我欣賞展現優雅與魅力的女性,她們是運用時尚,而不是被時尚左右。」
‘‘I don’t like women who follow fashion in the sense of becoming victims of it. I like women who have elegance, who have allure, who use fashion, rather than the other way around.’’
4.「少了『愛』其他一切事物都微不足道,錢和權力都是,愛是非常重要的。」
“There can be nothing without love. No money, no power. Love is very important.”
5.「優雅不在於耀眼,而在於讓人難忘。」
“Elegance doesn’t mean being noticed, it means being remembered.”
6.「風格意味著有勇氣做選擇,以及有勇氣說『不』。」
“Style is having the courage of one's choices and the courage to say no. ”
7.「儘管我打造了這個美好的時尚帝國,我還是喜歡只把自己當作一個平凡的小馬伕。」
“I like the idea of having built this beautiful empire but I still like to think of myself as a stable boy.”
8.「我喜歡那些隨著時間更顯價值、不會過時的事物,它們能經過時間的考驗並成為毫無疑問的最佳經典。」
“I love things that age well, things that don’t date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.”
9.「一旦我決定了某個想法,我就不會輕易放手……我在這方面蠻頑強的。」
‘‘Once I commit to an idea, then I just move forward with it, no matter what. … I’m kind of tenacious in that way.”
10.「我的設計是為真人而做,我時刻把顧客放在心上,設計不實用的服裝或配件完全沒有美德的。」
‘‘I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.’’
11.「我害怕混亂與無序,結構讓我能自由而有效率的行動,因為我可以掌控一切。」
‘‘I fear chaos and unruliness… Structure allows me to move freely and productively, because I can monitor everything.’’
12.「我的價值觀一直都是以一種可持續發展的方式——我從來沒有做過一個季節後就要扔掉的東西。」
‘‘My values have always been in a way sustainable – I’ve never done things to be thrown away after one season.’’
