And meanwhile Futurism and decaffeinated trends to boring, became the, Christian Lacroix and its continuous homage to the most cañí Spain, poetry, theater, the color, and although summer collections do not give for more and tends to be rather bland and repetitive, with four departures of Lacroix one occurs happy for the entire week of the fashion of Paris and some of the others.
Lacroix is the only one able to do Haute Couture magic pure and ready-to-wear Couture silhouettes and proposals over and charged to street fashion. Everything in it is extravagant, to the more simple dress, until more normal pants.
Because all cared for to the smallest detail, beautifies it, it adorns it, without ever falling into the Baroque but making women a benchmark of style half way between Marie-Antoinette and Madonna.
This collection does not leave out his love for Spain and theirs is a heart divided between the French court and the infantas painted by Goya. The luxury of Lacroix is neither insulting nor wasteful.It is artistic. Pictorial. And it offers cheerful and hopeful note such proposal outright. It never disappoints himself and us never disappoints others. Although I Lacroix, like Galliano I prefer them in the HC, because your mind is not made to create things that come to the banality and so when they are, they pale a little, because they are made to go beyond the purely casual.
So its ready to wear is different from the rest; It is full of details and clues that reveal them. The dresses are not simple dresses, has details that make them great, as a huge shoulder pads almost architectural, magnificent puffed, rosettes, and draping ; t-shirts are not simple t-shirts are all hand embroidered with fine silk thread; and jackets, cutting Edwardian, take us to another era.
Her prints are always a mix of Polka dot and animal print, all in gorgeous chiffon silk, Lacroix mix fearless and always gets it right.
The flowers they are another of its constants, as well as the figures geometric type Mondrian, everything under inevitable bath, that so lavish that never color blind.
A collection of fully faithful to the spirit of the House (which doesn’t mean that it is predictable): exquisitely decorated but far from the raucous. I’m dying of desire to see Naty Abascal with any of these designs.
