THE PROBLEM WITH LACROIX IS.....
Are you gagging (not about those boots I blogged about yesterday) but about Christian Lacroix! Industry insiders offer a perspective.
Paris - Ultimately, it looks like what built lacroix's name is also what brought it to its knees: phenomenal couture pieces.
"Even if in 2009 Lacroix sold around 70 bridal dresses — an enormous number for couture — at an average of 35,000 euros a throw, it is obvious that it is not enough to run a couture house."
Damn! So dude was doomed from the start!
