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\n\n\u003cp\u003eMy 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, colour, flowers, ethnic styles and so forth - and linked them with pieces from the museum collection. - \u003cem\u003eChristian Lacroix\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristian Lacroix on Fashion\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable work by Christian Lacroix, 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 delightful imaginary museum of historic and contemporary fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach featured piece - whether from the museum's collection or the House of Lacroix - is distinguished by its cut, its detail, its colour and its texture; and the pieces are juxtaposed and photographed in a way that emphasizes their relationships across the centuries. Fashion is a fascinating story that never ends, and Christian Lacroix is the most seductive of storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596003786988,"sku":"9780500287972","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/583e09bd437c3550cc4083721888ffca.jpg?v=1777932362","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/christian-lacroix-on-fashion-by-patrick-mauries-9780500287972","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
