Jean Touitou 以「Last Ni**as in Paris」命名 A.P.C. 2015 秋冬系列

法國時尚品牌 A.P.C. 創始人 Jean Touitou，最近頂著輿論的風波將品牌 2015 秋冬系列命名爲「Last Ni**as in Paris」。衆所周知，這是 Kanye West 與 Jay Z 的一首熱門單曲的名字，並且靈感來自于 1972 年的一部意大利浪漫電影《Last Tango in Paris》，至于品牌與 Timberland 最新合作的靴子和褲款，象征了前者所代表的 Hip-Hop 文化，而 A.P.C. 經典裸色夾克的設計則與電影主角的標志性著裝不謀而合。對此 Jean Touitou 表示：

I call this one look Last N****s in Paris. Why? Because it’s the sweet spot when the hood meets Bertolucci’s movie Last Tango in Paris. So that’s ‘N****s in Paris’ and Last N****s in Paris. [Nervous laughter from audience.] Oh, I am glad some people laughed with me. Yes, I mean, it’s nice to play with the strong signifiers. The Timberland here is a very strong ghetto signifier. In the ghetto, it is all the Timberlands, all the big chain. Not at the same time—never; it’s bad taste. So we designed Timberlands with Timberland.

之後接受 Style.com 的采訪時，Jean Touitou 提到這一決定也得到了好友 Kanye West 的支持：

I am friends with Kanye, and he and I presented a joint collection at the same place, one year ago, and that this thing is only a homage to our friendship. As a matter of fact, when I came up with this idea, I wrote to him, with the picture of the look and the name I was giving to it, and he wrote back immediately saying something like, ‘I love this vibe.’
