  • Story Text: Christian Lacroix has unveiled a sumptuous autumn/winter collection at the Beaux-Arts school in Paris.
    Christian Lacroix for his autumn/winter collection returns to his pagan and Christian icons, with clothes and accessories slapped with motifs such as the ex-voto heart and gigantic crucifixes. Florentine and Venetian beauties wear net masks to hide their faces. It is high-couture meets the high-street.
    Lacroix says that he has no message to deliver but dresses women who live in reality and streetwear.
    To the sound of symphonic or latin music the models show luscious dresses with Spanish, Japanese and Chinese influences.
    For the fabrics he used metal, wool, velvet and lace. Red and gold were the dominant explosive colours, and the show ended with a spectacular bride inspired by the Spanish court.
