Christian Lacroix

Christian Lacroix was born in Arles, Provence in 1951 and opened his own couture house in Paris in 1987, the first new house to open since Yves Saint Laurent in 1961. His work referenced the clothes of 18th-century court, matador jackets, traditional Provençal prints, ecclesiastical embroidery in bright, vivid colours, reviving the pouf skirt and reintroducing the crinoline. He was named most influential foreign designer by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1987. The house closed in 2009 and was acquired by Spain's Sociedad Textil Lonia in 2025.
