Since its inception in 1987, the house of Christian Lacroix
has electrified the fashion world with its many collections
inspired by gypsy and Provencal traditions and by the flamboyant
Haute Couture scene in Paris and London during the swinging
60s.
Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with an innate,
complex glamour and a vivacious confidence. Its reputation as the
maison for haute couture was well founded and built upon a
distinctive and passionate creative energy.

Sacha Walckhoff on the latest collection - 'Air de Paris'
"This story is of many journeys. It is the journey of one
woman from Arles to her new home in cosmopolitan Paris. The crackle
of magic in the meeting of these two cities the mixing airs of two
worlds, perfumes in the empty room with an essence of something
entirely newborn. In the journey from Arles to Paris we pick up
mementos en route and reference to iconic elements which, are part
of the eclectic heritage of the house of Lacriox"

"It has been a wonderfully exciting experience translating the
spirit of Lacroix couture into a beautiful collection of fabrics
for the home."
Tricia Guild.
"We are delighted to add the very prestigious creative House of
Christian Lacroix to our portfolio of brands." Simon
