上周的奥斯卡颁奖礼风波连连，除了“搞错最佳影片信封”的乌龙，还有影后梅莉·史翠普（Meryl Streep）与香奈儿（Chanel）创意总监，有老佛爷之称的卡尔·拉格斐（Karl Lagerfeld）的晚礼服风波。
1）2月23日时尚杂志《女装日报》（Women's Wear Daily，简称WWD）刊登拉格斐单方面爆料史翠普出尔反尔，找到服装赞助商后就对香奈儿喊停，然而品牌的高定工匠已开始裁剪她的奥斯卡晚装。WWD未与史翠普查证便刊登了报道。正如预料之中，这则新闻短时间内便在网上疯传。拉格斐对WWD的发言如下：
I made a sketch, and we started to make the dress. [They said] don't continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us. After we gift her a dress that's 100,000 euros, we found later we had to pay [for her to wear it]. We give them dresses, we make the dresses, but we don't pay… A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?
我已画了设计图，等到我们开始制作她的晚装后，她的人才说：不用做了，我们找到肯付我们钱的人了。我们拱手送她一件价值10万欧元的华服，却发现我们还得付她钱来穿我们的衣服？我们送这些女星衣裳，我们自费制作这些衣裳，但我们是不会付钱给她们来穿我们的衣服的……她或许是个天才女演员，但却也很没品，你说是不是？
2）老佛爷之后发表第二个解释声明，表示“歉意”：
Chanel engaged in conversations with Ms Streep's stylist, on her request, to design a dress for her to wear to the Academy Awards. After an informal conversation, I misunderstood that Ms Streep may have chosen another designer due to remuneration, which Ms Streep's team has confirmed is not the case. I regret this controversy and wish Ms Streep well with her 20th Academy Award nomination.
香奈儿在史翠普女士的要求下与她的造型师对话，为她定制一件礼服穿去金像奖颁奖典礼。经过一段非正式的对话后，我误解了史翠普女士或许因为得到报酬而选穿了另一位设计师的礼服，而史翠普女士的团队也证实这并非属实。我对这个争议深感遗憾，并祝史翠普女士在第20度奥斯卡提名旗开得胜。
3）然而史翠普不肯息怒，透过《人物》（People）杂志发表正式声明：
In reference to Mr. Lagerfeld's "statement", there is no "controversy" : Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist, and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication. That publication printed this defamation, unchecked. Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues, globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honour in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience.
I do not take this lightly, and Mr. Lagerfeld's generic "statement" of regret for this "controversy" was not an apology. He lied, they printed the lie, and I am still waiting.
拉格斐先生的“声明”毫无“争议”可言。卡尔·拉格斐，一位著名的设计师在一份重要的业界刊物中严重地诋毁了我、我的造型师，以及我最终选择穿去颁奖礼的那位鼎鼎大名的设计师的名声。那份杂志未跟我证实之前就刊登他的诽谤言论。这不实的报道引发了全球转载的连锁效应，直到我出席奥斯卡颁奖礼当晚仍持续地在全世界抹黑我，让我破纪录的第20度提名笼上莫须有的乌云，在全球媒体、我们的同行和观众面前损害我的名誉。
我不会轻率地让这件事就这么过去。拉格斐先生之前“发表”对这个“争议”感到遗憾并不等于道歉。他公认撒谎，他们刊登了他的谎言，我还在等他们的正式道歉。
