The house of Christian Lacroix
When the fashion house was founded in 1987 by the LVMH Group, Christian Lacroix, its first artistic director, laid the foundation for a unique, exuberant, colorful and baroque style rooted in the couturier's birthplace, Arles. His Spanish inspirations, colors and innovative, theatrical shapes amazed the fashion world and provided a breath of fresh air. His creations, such as the “pouf” skirt, were soon worn by the world's biggest stars, including Madonna, Julianne Moore and Uma Thurman. His collections toured all over the world and the most influential fashion editors supported him.
