Lacroix shines in colourful pageantry July 05, 2007 10:22am Article from: The Daily Telegraph WATCHING the gowns at the Christian Lacroix haute couture show was like seeing fabric sculptures come to life. The French designer celebrated his 20th year in business with a sumptuous line-up that swathed the body in folds of rich velvet or puffs of featherlight chiffon. The display came on the second day of the autumn-winter haute couture collections, which also featured shows by Givenchy and Chanel. The setting chosen by Lacroix was almost monastic in its simplicity - a plain white catwalk in a white room at the Palais de Tokyo modern art museum. That left guests free to contemplate lush embroidery and intricate weaves as complex as any work of art. Models with hair mounted into huge coifs paraded in coats embellished with ethnic details, such as silver studs, rustic embroidery and monkey hair trim. "I like it when couture is a bit spectacular and a bit moving," Lacroix said after the show. "I think we need that kind of sharing and exchange of poetic images like these." |
