Sweet Dream or Beautiful Nightmare


Christian Lacroix --Born in France in the 1950s, graduated with a history of arts. He had such a love to sketch famous dresses and menswear from history. By the 1980s he secured a position at Hermès, as Guy Paulin's assistant and by 1987 Lacroix was confident enough to begin his own couture venture. Lacroix grew to become internationally renowned for his gothic couture style, eccentric, historical and extravagant designs. Fashion critics said the Lacroix moment had been the 1980s, and it was over after but he continued to design and now has never been more of a success than ever. He has extended his empire into fragrance, homeware: tableware, costumes for theatre, film and has won many awards down the line. His distinct style is very much embraced by the fashion world now. He is currently exhibiting his showcase in Singapore.
