Christian Lacroix Pre-Fall 2009

Christian Lacroix tapped into a rich well of inspiration for pre-fall: his own couture oeuvre. The designer plucked some ribbon-festooned pumps from his first haute collection, and he also showed archive-inspired dresses, including a floral-print gazar chemise and a pleated, paisley-motif tent dress. Some silhouettes had a suggestion of the Eighties, such as the cocoon-like men’s jackets and coats.
