Christian Lacroix

 

Christian Lacroix studied Art History at Paul Valery University and Museum Studies at the Sorbonne, Paris. He started as a fashion sketcher and worked as an assistant at Hermes. He was a designer and Artistic Director for the House of Patou before he opened his own couture and ready-to-wear business in 1987. A great colorist, the designer is well known for his "technicolor" collections and a penchant for interior decorating. With Christian Lacroix, Hollywood found its home in a Paris couture house. He loves "period" collections, with references to Hollywood greats like Marlene Dietrich or real life personalities. Very much aware of the advertising and public relations aspects of haute couture, Christian Lacroix is also very cognizant of the value of couture in pushing fashion to upper limits. In 1989 he began to design shoes and in 2002 he was appointed Artistic Director of the Florentine fashion house Emilio Pucci. One of his biggest fans, Uma Thurman.
