Couturier Christian Lacroix is renowned for his exquisitely imagined womenswear. The finest fabrics, prints, and details confirm the designer’s status as one of the world’s most creative visionaries in fashion. The Summer 2024 optical collection takes its cue from sculptural forms, metallic embellishments, lavish patterns, and colorways, offering a window into Lacroix’s magical world.
Christian Lacroix’s standout optical style of CL1150 is a symphony of rich, marble-like acetate. The multi-colored floral acetate of colorway 601 Blue Floral bleeds into a solid blue acetate. A metal chevron charm decorates the temples for added style.
Multi-color CL1151 features a bespoke Christian Lacroix acetate design taken from one of the many silky scarf prints in the fashion designer’s archives. The bold yet wearable square fronts make the style fashionably adaptable for the wearer’s needs.
The striking CL1154 style combines a generous mix of metal and high-quality acetate. Taking its inspiration from sunwear, the oversized front is contrasted with smooth gold metal temple hinges, tapering into complementary acetate tips. The designer’s signature butterfly flutters onto each temple tip.
About Christian Lacroix
When the fashion house was founded in 1987 by the LVMH Group, Christian Lacroix, its first Artistic Director, laid the foundations for a unique, exuberant, colorful, and baroque style rooted in the couturier’s birthplace of Arles. His Hispanic inspirations, colors, and innovative, theatrical shapes amazed the fashion world and brought a breath of fresh air. His creations, such as the “pouf” skirt, were soon worn by the world’s biggest stars, including Madonna, Julianne Moore and Uma Thurman. His collections toured the world, and the most influential fashion editors supported him.
