‘Lacroix darling, Lacroix’ are the long echoed words of Patsy in ‘Absolutely Fabulous’, and since then Lacroix has really rocketed to fame. His first couture house opened in 1985 with the memorable poof skirt, and between 2002-2005 he was the Creative Director of Emilio Pucci.
His recent haute couture collections received standing ovations from the public, heralding a new romanticism with the magic of colours cast like shadows, the flows of muslin and silk inspired by the American artist Whistler. At the same time, his ‘Bazaar’ ready-to-wear collection is enjoying real commercial success.
Lacroix clothing is frequently worn by Uma Thurman and Gwyneth Paltrow, and his jewellery is an increasing favourite of A–listers looking for jewellery that sparkles with imagination and individualism.
Gem-encrusted crosses, large chunks of amethyst set with delicate dangling silver threads, and heavily bejewelled, ornately decorated charm bracelets are characteristic of Chrsitian Lacroix jewellery. A silver heart in the ‘Mosaique’ collection is one of our best-sellers, set with rose quartz – the stone of love – and peridot, topaz, amethyst and garnet.
Fabulous jewellery from a fabulous designer!
