Christian Lacroix’s couture collection for Schiaparelli

Christian Lacroix speaks to Dazed & Confused about his one-off couture collection for Schiaparelli.

This July Chrisitan Lacroix will be creating a 15-piece one-off couture collection for maison Schiaparelli. Speaking to Dazed and Confused, he talks about his return to couture and how Elsa Schiaparelli influenced him.

Speaking about his connection to the design house, he says: “I don’t want to sound pretentious, but this seems natural to me, almost obvious. I do feel a link with her through many signs since I was a child. In my approach, I will for sure not do a caricature of her work, but will create a reflection about how the past and the future are connected in the present.”

He also seems to be happy back in the land of couture creation. “It’s all very natural,” he says. “This kind of project that links history of costume and fashion really appeals to me. When I was young, I had planned on being a fashion museum curator… I became a stage designer after 25 years of couture!”
