As we told you previously, the iconic house of Christian Lacroix had filed for bankruptsy and was facing liquidation. This threw the entire high fashion industry into a state of angst as clearly if one major fashion house falls, others will follow. So you can practically hear the collective, yet still tentative sigh of relief as a sheikh in shining armour has submitted a bid for the company which would preserve all operations in tact. Lacroix told WWD :
“As a Latin guy, I’ll believe it when it happens,” Lacroix told WWD on Wednesday. However, he added, “I feel confident,” particularly because the approach came to the designer directly via his XCLX company, through which he does a variety of projects, from signature hotels and opera costumes to tramways for French cities. “They understood my true work: crossing fashion, art and design,” Lacroix said.

These big fashion houses should make their clothes more accessible to regular people. Most aren’t going to spend thousands on a dress or shirt. They can make more money if everyone could wear it.
