{"product_id":"christian-lacroix-on-fashion","title":"Christian Lacroix on Fashion","description":"‘This is not a retrospective, but my own look at the costume collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, from which I chose pieces from all eras, some never before exhibited. I chose those that were most inspiring, those that best told the story of fashion that I would have wanted to tell if I were the museum curator that I intended to be when I was a student\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy twenty years in the fashion business are another way of telling this story, and I selected the strongest designs from the haute couture collections of the House of Lacroix between 1987 and 2007, then arranged them according to themes - black and white, colour, flowers, ethnic styles and so forth - and linked them with pieces from the museum collection.' - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Lacroix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Lacroix is one of the most inventive and admired fashion designers in the world. He is also incredibly well-versed in fashion history, and he brings that expertise to bear in this delightful imaginary museum of historic and contemporary fashion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach featured piece – whether from the museum’s collection or the House of Lacroix – is distinguished by its cut, its detail, its colour and its texture; and the pieces are juxtaposed and photographed in a way that emphasizes their relationships across the centuries. Fashion is a fascinating story that never ends, and Christian Lacroix is the most seductive of storytellers.","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48890917486869,"sku":"9780500287972","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0503\/0165\/products\/9780500287972_christian-lacroix-on-fashion.jpg?v=1696326629","url":"https:\/\/www.thamesandhudson.com\/products\/christian-lacroix-on-fashion","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
