christian lacroix homme a/w 2010
another one of those collections that screams my name. already have e-mails in place to secure some of these come fall. oh lacroix, it is a sad sad hand you’ve been dealt but i’m glad to see the men’s license is rolling the way gilded age or steven alan with a bit of french sensibility.
on the ninth day of christmas my true love gave to me, nine ladies dancing. so continuing with the 12 days of christmas (of which i started at 10, big whoop) i give you 3 looks for dancing holiday ladies. one of the greatest things about this season is the parties. the best ones are usually filled with really old friends who know pretty much everything about you. thus, you can dance like a crazy person and drink too much wine and eat too many cookies without feeling weird. so i took a gander through the collections and here you have three super fun party looks for all the dancing ladies out there. trouble is there are ten lords-a-leaping…somebody is going home alone. wop wop. happy holidays!
1: i hope they play single ladies: coat by isaac mizrahi, dress by matthew williamson, tights and shoes by marni
2: i’m going to drink so much egg nog it’s not even funny: coat by temperley london, dress by luella, bow necklace by kate spade, tights and shoes by milly
3: look how fancy i am: coat by christian dior, dress by christian lacroix, booties by isabel marant
it is a dark day for couture. on the heels of my previous post, talking about how awesome lacroix is and how i enjoyed my time working in their showrooms, i am faced with this cruel reality. couture and ready to wear will end and the house will be reduced to a licensing operation. what a cruel world it is.
1: you should be wearing black you crazy model person: christian lacroix haute couture.
