The Cross of LaCroix

The couture shows for Fall 2009/2010 have come and gone. And, unfortunately, daily life and it's current struggles have kept me from commenting. But, there is one blog that cannot be ignored, and that is on what is probably the final haute couture collection for Christian Lacroix. His company's own financial woes had forced his investors to file bankruptcy protection back in May. He, lucky for us, persevered in presenting his Fall collection. Despite being more restrained than usual, it displayed his talent of finding beauty in the form and detailing. The collection embodied the sophistication and elegance that is Christian Lacroix. Hopefully it won't be the last we see of his designs, because the fashion world will surely be at a loss.
