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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"My 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, color, flowers, ethnic styles, and so forth--and linked them with pieces from the museum collection.\"--Christian Lacroix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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 delighful imaginary museum of historic and contemporary fashion. Each featured piece--whether from the museum's collection or the House of Lacroix--is distinguished by its cut, its detail, its color, and its texture; and the pieces are juxtaposed and photographed in a way that emphasizes their relationships across the centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500287972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 9.10w x 0.97d","brand":"Christian LaCroix, Patrick Mauri\u0026#232;s, Olivier Saillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43544047517877,"sku":"9780500287972","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2fa18524-f102-41e6-8893-490ddd80e5e3.jpg?v=1706118068","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/christian-lacroix-on-fashion-9780500287972","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
