Vintage jewelry CHRISTIAN LACROIX and JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

ABOUT CHRISTIAN LACROIX

Around the 1980s /90 Christian Lacroix was able to stand out with original Clothing, prone to an undisguised audacity he was able to transport us with luminous collections.

His creed was more related to theater than to fashion, it appears very clearly as much as to the choice of his creations, such as corsets, and other bustiers borrowed from the times, and past history.

He also naturally headed for the opera, and it seems obvious that at the time of inflated epaulettes this one had hours of glory.

After graduate studies at the Sorbonne and the Louvres, his wife Françoise Rosenthiel, had the bold idea of giving her sketches to Hermès who was then able to detect his creative genius and then committed her as second to creation.

He then created his own label in 1987, he was strongly noticed, he created, among other things, a ready-to-wear line for GENNY, and in the process dressed the dancers of the AMERCIAN BALLET THÉÂTRE.

His jewelry creations were then very noticed to us...

In 2002, he became the artistic director of the Emilio Pucci house, he will be assigned other equally important missions such as for stella Mac cartney or for Madonna in 2004.

Today he is no longer at the head of the famous house, it is Gallic fashion group, which has taken over his favorite themes through furniture and jewelry mainly.
