Fashion Designer Oldfield: Cloud Dress Conquers The Most Beautiful Women In The World
Prince William is getting married soon. It is widely believed that bride Kate Middleton will wear the wedding dress of British fashion designer Bruce Oldfield to attend the new "century wedding".
If public recognition is used to measure success, then he is no doubt a success.
His name is a synonym for fashion. He is generally acknowledged to have a unique view on how to make women wear the most beautiful side.
Oldfield's clients include the most beautiful women in the world, such as late Diana Wang Ki, Jordan queen Nur, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and of course, the future British Princess Kate Middleton.
Few people expected that Oldfield, who conquered the celebrities with cloud clothes, originated from a humble beginning. He was a bastard of black and white, grew up in an orphanage, loved to sew clothes for a doll, and dreamed of becoming a star.
Rumor has it that he will design wedding dress for Kate.
On the 10 day, British fashion designer Ben de Chis revealed that his strong rival, Bruce Oldfield, will design the wedding dress for Prince William's fiancee Kate Middleton.
Although the news has not yet been confirmed by Buckingham Palace, many people in the fashion industry bet that Bruce Oldfieldman will win the honor.
Ben de Chis said, "there are all kinds of rumors now, but I heard it was Bruce Oldfield.
I certainly did not.
However, he refused to reveal the source of the news.
Oldfield, a fashion designer who was the late Princess Diana, thought it would make him more likely to be invited to design wedding dresses for Kate.
For the rumors of the outside world, Oldfield kept a low profile but did not deny it.
His spokesman said: "Bruce has no comment on this.
That's just what Ben said.
In fact, Oldfield did not hide his desire to design wedding dress for Kate.
"If I were lucky enough to get the invitation, I would be very happy."
Oldfield said, "Kate has a very good figure. She will be very charming in anything she wears.
If I were me, I would design a wedding dress with concise form but exquisite details.
It is grand enough, but it will not win the competition.
The style will be traditional and elegant, or even retro, but I'm sure she will add a bit of modern fashion. "
Oldfield said he did not like surprises in design. He hoped people would feel confident and beautiful when they put on his clothes.
Oldfield's experience is quite good for designing wedding dresses.
According to reports, the current British Prime Minister Samantha Cameron, when he was married, wore the wedding dress designed by him.
Diana: at the beginning, she knew nothing about fashion, like a country girl.
As a famous fashion designer, Oldfield's guests are either rich or expensive.
But for the distinguished guests, Oldfield said one thing and would never flatter.
"Once a Duchess asked me," don't you like my skirt? "
I said, "no, I can't say I like it.
Take her off to your daughter. She will be more happy to wear it.
Oldfield's outspoken attitude has been appreciated by many customers including Princess Diana.
Oldfield introduced Diana in Vogue magazine in 1980, when Diana was preparing for the wedding.
In the next ten years, Diana has been a loyal customer.
Oldfield said that Diana's family education and cultivation were very good and her manners were natural and unnatural. She was a very simple country girl.
He said: "at the beginning, she (Diana) knew nothing about fashion.
She's just like a country girl. She's totally out of touch, unlike Kate. "
Oldfield said that for Diana to design clothes, clothes should always be done longer and shoulders should not be exaggerated.
Diana is very friendly to designers and is willing to accept others' opinions.
With the help of Oldfield, Diana pformed from the unfamiliar girl in the 80s to the most dazzling fashion model on the international stage in 90s of last century.
However, in 1990, Diana suddenly abandoned Oldfield and did not explain it at all.
Oldfield understood this: "I was troubled at that time, but I also remember that I used to wear Armani until I suddenly did not want to wear it one day, I was tired of it, and I think she did."
Kate: her dress always looks neat and concise, without exaggeration.
In addition, Oldfield feels that Diana is trying to get rid of the Royal responsibility, and may also want to say goodbye to the days he spent in the past.
In Oldfield's eyes, Diana's elegant demeanour was still restored.
"In my opinion, she is more attractive than her costumes in her neat hair and white shirt and jeans."
Diana's future daughter-in-law Kate is known as the most natural heir of royal style, and Oldfield also appreciates her.
"I do think Kate is very beautiful.
Her dress always looks neat and concise, without exaggeration, with fresh temperament.
He thought that "grace is dead" in this era.
Oldfield's fashion design adheres to the elegant line.
Therefore, not everyone can afford the clothes he sews by himself -- the retail price of casual wear is between one thousand and two thousand pounds, and high fashion is often tens of thousands of pounds.
However, Oldfield said, "I was born poor, so I would not like to use snobbish eyes to those who can not afford to buy clothes in my shop."
Oldfield thinks that the cheap clothes produced by mass production, some stars who dress up for the purpose of sacrificing their dignity, and the huge backpacks are ugly, which makes him feel sick.
But what makes him most hopeless is that he believes that in this age, "elegance is dead".
Oldfield said, "I can imagine many of my clients who will be as graceful as they were when they were fifty or sixty years old.
But in the younger generation of women, I can't see who can be an example.
Oldfield's view is certainly a bit unexpected. After all, his client stars are gathered together, and there are many young people who are generally recognized to have the best fashion taste: Catherine Zeta-Jones, not to mention "ultimate clothes" - late Princess Diana.
However, in this regard, Oldfield seems to be very opinionated.
When asked about a woman who is under 60 years old and who thinks he has a graceful and elegant style, he said, "I can think of many women over the age of 60, such as Catherine Deneuve who is still alive, but I can not even think of a woman under 50 years old.
The only thing I can think of is that Caroline, Princess of Monaco, will not make too many mistakes in dressing. She is always very bright and fashionable, but she is also more than 50 years old.
Oldfield believes that young women's dress problems tend to be overdone, and few people can show the implicit elegance of Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly.
Like Hepburn and Kylie, they are always simple and elegant. They can wear their own taste whether they wear casual clothes or high fashion.
Oldfield said, "I often see a woman who wants to tell her," don't give up. "
It's better to think about whether these three things are necessary rather than considering hat, backpack and belt. "
Skeptic: if he designs Kate wedding dress, don't expect any surprises.
Though Oldfield is in the fashion industry today, some people have questioned his style of design.
Critics say that if he was chosen to design Kate's wedding dress, then don't expect any surprises.
In the eyes of the opponents, Oldfield has always been conservative and not fashionable enough to keep pace with the times, including luxurious fabrics, conservative tailoring, most of the customers are old, no fashion shows, and only shops in a very upscale London area.
As for conservatism, Oldfield himself once said, "if I were born in an earlier age, it would be better because I care about sewing skills."
In the 70s and 80s of the last century, the fashion industry began to roll up the trend of abandoning Seiko and converting to mass production. Oldfield was rather disgusted with it. He even couldn't bear to divide the same design into different codes. He still sticks to the traditional hand-made high standard and meticulous carving, hoping that every dress is a unique product.
The orphan Dean has a star dream.
In Britain, few fashion designers dare openly praise celebrities, but Oldfield has a strong reputation.
He came from a poor family, and finally depended on his talents and efforts to get ahead in the snobbish fashion circle.
When he was 6 months old, he was sent to an orphanage and never saw his parents again.
Oldfield was born in London, England in July 14, 1950.
The reason why he came to this world is the result of a indulgence of a young Irish married woman and a Jamaica boxer.
Mother is a sheep with epilepsy, and his family can not tolerate a illegitimate child with black blood.
So, when he was 6 months old, he sent him to the orphanage.
Since then, Oldfield has never seen his own biological parents.
At the age of 6, a woman named Wheelwright Masters adopted him.
Masters is a tailor. Oldfield loved to look at his mother and sew clothes from an early age, and tried to imitate mother and embroidery on the broken cloth.
By the time she was 8 years old, Oldfield began to sew her sister's doll.
But by the age of 13, the foster mother had sent him back to the orphanage.
Recalling childhood, Oldfield said he wanted to be a star from an early age - an industry.
He said he wanted his life to be better, rather than the future of other orphanage children.
At that time, most children born in orphanages would eventually become workers at the bottom, or join the army or even go astray.
Later, when Oldfield was admitted to Saint Martin College of art, or he was a student, he began to show his talent in fashion design and was invited to design clothes for a fashion department store in Manhattan, New York.
In those days, for fashion designers, attractive and famous women were willing to choose the clothes they design, which is very important for their career development.
It was British actor Charlotte Rampling who introduced Oldfield to the top customers in the fashion industry.
He invited Oldfield to design costumes for the upcoming film, and the two became friends. Oldfield became famous and became one of Princess Diana's designers.
Individual speech
"I don't know that I will succeed, but there is always a force in my heart that pushes me forward.
It was a strange feeling - but it was completely natural, even though the people around me asked me, 'who do you think you are?'
"I love quality, refinement and classics, and I'm afraid that the fashion season is out of season," it seems to depress the whole creative process.
If in 2050, someone would see a costume designed by me at a second-hand store, I would love to have to buy it, and I would be very happy.
