FASHION TRENDS:CHRISTIAN LACROIX OFFERS FASHION TIPS FOR FALL
|
The iconic fashion designer Christian Lacroix offers the following fashion tips and style guide for the upcoming season:
STRICT, SNUG-FITTING, SOPHISTICATED,
“LASER” WITHOUT AGGRESSIVENESS,
BAROQUE WITHOUT EXUBERANCE,
FEMININE WITHOUT AFFECTATION
ALTHOUGH THIS WINTER SEASON, ALL LINES INCLUDED, IS
SLIGHTLY INSPIRED BY PORTRAITS FROM THE RENAISSANCE
(“MUTTON” SLEEVES, BLACK OR BRONZE METAL CHAINS,
MINAUDIERES, FUR COLLARS),
MORE ESPECIALLY IT REDEFINES, WITHIN A CRITICAL CONTEXT
FOR WHICH NEW RESPONSES MUST BE FOUND, THE SILHOUETTE
AND THE SPIRIT OF THE HOUSE:
A PARISIAN FASHION HOUSE OF THE THIRD MILLENARY WITH
“87″REMINISCENCES.
VERY “COUTURE” PRECISION TAILORING FOR THE DAY,
DRAPING AND RUFFLING FOR THE EVENING, PRECIOUS MATERIALS
AND ACCESSORIES (IRIDESCENCE, HARD STONES, JET, CROCODILE,
SILK JACQUARDS, SOPHISTICATED, INTRICATE AND ILLUMINATED KNITS).
VERY “PARISIENNE” THE SHORT, SNAPPY SILHOUETTE, THE CINCHED WAIST,
THE “NEO-CHIC” OF A COLLECTION MORE “SOBER ET SOMBER”
(BLACK, CHOCOLATE, POWDER) THAN “SOL Y SOMBRA”.
(NONETHELESS WITH TWO MULTICOLOR PRINTS ON A PEACOCK BLUE, MUSTARD
AND BRONZE GREEN BACKGROUND IN ECHO OF THE SCARF
AND STOLE COLLECTIONS.)
FINALLY THE “HOUSE” SIGNATURES FROM THE 80S ROUND,
TULIP OR LANTERN SKIRTS, LACE BODYSUITS AND TIGHTS AS WELL AS
A WELL-EMPHASIZED SHOULDER LINE,
COCOON SHAPES, A NEAT SILHOUETTE AND PRECISE LINES: JUST
WHAT WE NEED NOT ONLY TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE RIGORS
OF THE CLIMATE BUT ALSO TO CHALLENGE THOSE OF
CHRISTIAN LACROIX

As we have reported previously the French fashion design house was facing imminent bankruptsy.It now appears to be saved from that fate by two serious proposals from financial backers.
WWD reports that Italy’s Borletti group which owns numerous retail outlets was one and the other serious bid came from Bernard Krief consultants.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the bids are accepted, as otherwise the company would be liquidated , it’s employees reduced to 12 from 124 and it’s 22 year reign as one of France’s iconic fashion houses would effectively be reduced to a licencing operation.

great info! fingers crossed he stays in business
i have heard alot of these design houses are in trouble. times have changed, couture and very high-end clothing is just not a proiority for many present.
I love his description of “the Parisienne sihouette”.
Love the advise, you need to invest in these types of couture pieces. If you get the right pieces they will be with you for many many years and be worth whatever you paid!!
