ISBN: 9780500513910.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of fashion from the eighteenth century to the present day, as told by Christian Lacroix and illustrated with examples of his own designs and historic costumes.\n\"This is not a retrospective, but my own look at the costume collections of the Musèe des Arts Dècoratifs, from which I chose pieces from all eras, some never before exhibited. 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.\n\"My 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 Maison Lacroix between 1987 and 2007, then arranged them according to themes-black and white, color, flowers, ethnic styles, and so forth-and linked them with pieces from the museum collection.\" -Christian Lacroix\nChristian Lacroix is one of the most inventive and admired fasion 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 fasion. Each featured piece-whether from the museums collection or the Maison Lacroix-is distinguished by its cut, its detail, its color, and its texture; and the pieces are juxtaposed and photographed in a way that emphasizes their relationship across the centuries.\nPatrick Mauriès is the author of numerous books, including Cabinets of Curiosities. Olivier Saillard is a fashion historian and curator at the Musèe des Arts Dècoratifs in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986488979509,"sku":"ByrdShop_0500513910","price":123.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780500513910_c1297bb8-2ffd-4069-bec9-08427656a314.jpg?v=1778707445","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/christian-lacroix-on-fashion-9780500513910","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
