- Let’s talk about When Was Christian Lacroix Popular ?
The things we think we know about Christian Lacroix are restricted to the what, and the when, rather than the why. Lacroix is the designer whose bubbled and puffed volumes defined the latter half of the 80s - a riposte against the aggression of the decade’s shoulder pads, aerobicised bodies, and paralysing good taste. Lacroix’s clothes, by contrast, were fun, flirtatious and frilly, characterised by coquettish layers of petticoats abbreviated, like a Western saloon wench’s, about the thigh. He had a fondness for the high-gloss of duchesse satin, clashing together various colours - like his signature shades of shocking pink, hellfire orange and a sickly gooseberry chartreuse - in a single outfit. In all likelihood, those jarring colours would then be paired with further hues, or juxtaposed against brocade or embroidery, perhaps swooshed over with an old-fashioned fichu or apron, the fabric knotted up into a bow, or a bustle, or a big fat cabbage rose. Christian Lacroix’s style was about excess and abundance. It was, simply, about more…

I absolutely ADORE Christians work. It is amazing how we tend to look to the past for inspiration when times are grey in our world. You are so correct! That is why I love the past so much! Back then, say, the 1700's human beings drew from deep within themselves to create. I believe it's because the world was void of modern technology, so digging deep from within was the norm. I'm sure the poor had no money to spare which would aid them in creativity, yet I've seen how even the poor created beautiful things back then that we just can't grasp today!
Thank you ❤️
@@FashionQuestion You are very welcome, and thank You! 💜
To me, his design look similar to John Galliano and Alexander Mcqueen, but they way he presented his collection (his runway show) are very simple and no drama, that's probably why critics said its too costumey..
Very interesting…thanks!❤️
Amazing
Thanks for watching ❤️
Why does today chime with back then? Why are designers resurrecting these styles? Perhaps it’s the political strife and conservatism which seems, conversely, to be forcing fashion in the opposite direction. When the outlook is grey, the impulse is to grasp at colour, frivolity, exuberance and eccentricity. It’s something the French are particularly good at: look at the - entirely accurate - fashion plates of women walking around with powdered hair piled high with miniature windmills and rigged frigates in the 1770s, before the monarchy was deposed and executed. Those hairstyles, incidentally, were also called “poufs”, just like the ones Lacroix produced on the edge of another collapse of society as we knew it…How do you think?

Lacroix was discontinued to compel all potential HC clients to go chez maison Christian Dior
🤔
@@FashionQuestion It is a simple principle of marketing inside the same conglomerate: similar enterprises comport the risk one cannibalizing the other. Lacroix was the most successful HC atelier but it couldn't sell anything else, meanwhile Dior was big selling all kind of merchandise: the choice was obvious. Even Givenchy, which could sell perfumes at best, could not produce HC at its real potential, to save Dior interests...
@@massimosquecco8956 very interesting,thanks!I Will think about it..
Say it aint so!!!😮
@@janusconner3710 Cannot! The Owners always have been ruthless! Remember Gianfranco Ferre' treatment? I ve read on paper at the time but there is nothing to be found online GFF has been destroyed by his 7 years at CD, and the consequences brought hem to his final doom. It has already been almost 30 years, and they think everybody has forgotten their politics, but many don't.
