Christian Lacroix - In the Universe of Fashion, Christian Lacroix is one of the more "avantgarde" designers. Lacroix's bright and witty clothes have become a fabulous introduction to one of fashion's "alternatives" with the Neo Romantique and Mademoiselle Irma lines for juniors, children, and kids alike!
It was in 1987, forty years exactly after the opening of the House of Dior, that Christian Lacroix founded his own house, financed by LVMH. Born in Arles, in the south of France, in 1951, Christian Lacroix has brought sunshine into haute couture with his palette of colours, daring to blend every one of them, making him an advocate of the "neo-Baroque" style. His hammer-wrought, gilt metal jewellery, his lace of Arles and his taffeta bustles continue to infuse life into luxury which, in his hands, is drawn from its customary reserve to venture between modernity and tradition, technology and heritage, reinterpreting with brio the popular cultures of all the countries of the world.
His story is that of a theatre enthusiast who dreamt of making costumes for the stage. After a spell at Hermès, he designed his first haute couture collections for Patou before launching his own house, the latest to be founded to this day. Christian Lacroix, to whom the Marseilles Museum of Fashion recently dedicated an exhibition, also designs costumes for the theatre and opera: for Carmen by Bizet, staged at the Nîmes arena in 1989, and, more recently, for Phèdre by Racine, at the Comédie Française, in Paris. His recent haute couture collections received standing ovations from the public, heralding as they did a new romanticism with the magic of colours cast like shadows, the flows of muslin and silk inspired by the American artist Whistler. At the same time, his "Bazaar" ready-to-wear collection is enjoying an encouraging commercial success. Like the Neo Romantique and Mademoiselle Irma lines for juniors, children, and kids alike only at Pout Child... the most fabulous & unique children's boutique.
