Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Christian Lacroix Fall/Winter 2013 is Utilitarian Chic

— January 21, 2013 — Fashion
Sacha Walckhoff redefines classic utilitarianism in her latest Christian Lacroix Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Inspired by everyday uniforms, the designer took creative cues from construction workers and painters among other trade workers when creating her expressive jump suits and all-over denim style pairings.

Tailored to perfection, the Christian Lacroix Fall/Winter 2013 runway presentation explores the idea of the modern uniform. From suiting and matching separates to draped outerwear, this menswear line is a modern take on classically utilitarian aesthetic.

From fitted silhouettes to exaggerated design details, this chic and sophisticated collection transforms a uniform from its drab associations to something that is edgy and youthful. The fashion forward menswear line marries clean lines and simple shapes along with expressive patterns that range from linear stripes to painterly strokes.
