Christian Lacroix’s Couture Show for Fall 2009 could (very) sadly be his last.
The folks who own his business have placed it under administration and Lacroix’s fate remain in limbo.
At any rate, the Christian Lacroix’s Couture Show for Fall 2009 was a beautiful collection. The pieces resembled the clothing a peasant might wear, but no doubt, this would be the most expensive peasant clothing ever bought, and the finest ever made.
Implications - So hopefully consumers and the public treat Christian Lacroix's incredible collection with the reverence it deserves. He has been at the forefront of emerging style fads since he started his business, and it would be a shame to see it go under without so much as a fitting tribute. Look through our gallery and see what the hype is about.
