从木匠开始的LV传人

4月30日,帕特里克·威登(Patrick Vuitton)和法国总统萨科齐一起,出席了上海世博会法国馆的开幕仪式。

即使站在总统旁边,戴着斯文的眼镜、满脸胡子的帕特里克的风采也毫不逊色。可几十年前,他可没想能这般“风光”。他的理想只是当一 名兽医。祖父一直尝试用各种方法来说服他,说在他的血液中流淌着家族商业的灵魂。祖父去世后,帕特里克的想法改变了——作为LV家族第五代传人,帕特里克 命中注定会担任LV文化代言人。

他的家族与世博会颇有渊源。143年前,帕特里克的祖先路易·威登第一次参加巴黎世博会,并获得奖项而名声大振。不过那是太久远的 事了,以至于家族成员都无法确认那次得奖的到底是什么产品,所以官方的说法是“极有可能是一款灰色防水帆布材质的平顶行李箱”。

和 其他学徒一样,帕特里克用了近20年时间,来学习如何成为一个手工艺人。他几乎每天都要去位于巴黎近郊的一个工作坊,那是路易· 威登本人创设的工作坊。帕特里克先成为一个木匠学徒,然后又成了一个皮货匠,最后才学习如何做一个手提箱。

这一次,他带着LV参加 过历届世博会的展品,来上海举办展览。参展的最古老的箱子,产于1887年。在给展览剪彩时,他不是像别人 那样随便一刀剪下去,而是先提起彩带一角观察一下,在空白处下刀,剪下一段带有完整LV标记的彩带,仔细叠起放进口袋。据说,他每次出席剪彩仪式,都要留 下一段彩带作为纪念。

帕特里克·威登参加路易威登百年世博回顾。

将传统与创新结合,是LV始终坚持的发展理念。作为订制部门的负责人,帕特里克也坚持这一传统。几年前,他为中国某时尚杂志举办的 慈善拍卖设计了一款带有LV标记的中国麻将,被歌星那英以高价拍下。或许在他看来,麻将是特别具有中国色彩的一样有趣的用具。

虽然时常与明星大腕一起出席各种活动,帕特里克坚持保持低调的个人生活。对于本次中国之行,他只在一个月前接受了一家电视媒体的采 访要求,并声明不回答有关个人生活和公司经营的问题,只谈LV的文化。然而当本报记者在一个活动中偶然遇上他,并请他和中国的年轻人说几句话时,他欣然提 笔写下:向中国青年的未来表示我最美好的祝愿。

“帕特里克先生就是一个挺随和的人。”工作人员告诉记者,即使到哪里都能享受专车接送的贵宾待遇,帕特里克对于不太远的行程,更喜 欢步行。

帕特里克已经为LV工作了34年。当被问到他对奢侈品的理解是什么时,他说,就是在一个人旅行回来的时候,自己的宠物狗远远地就跑 来欢迎自己;或者独自享受扬帆海上的乐趣。总之,奢侈对于他来说,就是无忧无虑地度过那些短暂而美好的时光。

再有一两天,帕特里克就要回到他工作了34年的巴黎近郊的工作坊。在那里,人们会像称呼他的祖先“路易先生”那样,称呼他“帕特里 克先生”。而帕特里克先生的工作,就是用传统的办法培育LV的学徒,那至少需要十几年的时间,是个“细致活儿”。

LV starts which from the carpenter teaches other people

The Patric · wieden participates in the Louis wieden hundred year world abundant reviews.
The tradition and the innovation union, is the development idea which LV persisted throughout.As the ordering department's people in charge, Patric also persist this tradition.Several years ago, he the charitable auction which conducted for the Chinese some fashion magazine designs one section to have the LV mark Chinese mahjong, is patted by singing star that England by the high price.Perhaps looked like in him that, the mahjong specially has the Chinese color equally interesting apparatus.
Although often together attends each kind of activity with the star jorum, Patric persists the maintenance low key individual life.Trip of regarding the this Chinese, he has only accepted a television media interview request in a month, and stated did not reply concerns question which individual life and the company manage, only discusses LV the culture.However when newspaper reporter accidentally meets him in an activity, and asks him with China's young people to say when several speeches, he takes pen in hand joyfully writes down: Will express I most best wish to Chinese youth's future.
“Patric Mr. is a very amiable person.” The staff tells reporter, even if all can enjoy the distinguished guest treatment to where which the private car sends and picks up, Patric regarding the not too far traveling schedule, likes walking.
Patric already was LV has worked for 34 years.When was asked when he to the luxury goods the understanding is any, he said that, is travels in a person comes back, own pet dog by far runs welcome oneself; Or alone enjoys hoists the sails the marine pleasure.In brief, luxuriously regarding him, freely passed these short and the happy time.
Again some 12 days, Patric had to return to him to work 34 year Paris suburb labor workshop.In there, the people can call him likely the ancestor “Louis Mr.” such, calls him “Patric Mr.”.But Patric's Mr. work, is cultivates LV with the traditional means the apprentice, that needs several years at least, is “the careful work”.
