“Offbeat, Provençal, close to costume and wholly charming” is how Vogue described ChristianLacroix’s debut collection in 1987. But Lacroix never intended to become a designer, and now he's is celebrating a new exhibition of his costumes at SCAD Lacoste.
described Christian Lacroix’s debut collection in 1987. But Lacroix never intended to become a fashion designer. “I was a fashion designer by accident,” he said this weekend at the Savannah College of Art and Design’s campus in the French commune of Lacoste where a new exhibition celebrating his partnership with the Comédie-Française was opening.
The exhibition showcases the beauty of Lacroix’s work and his talent for blending multiple references. But above all, it has something to teach us about how fashion should operate moving forward, from the importance of research, to the value of designing for “real people,” to the necessity of a sustainable mindset. Read on for a masterclass from Christian Lacroix and Olivier Saillard.
Olivier Saillard: You can look back. We need to forget this concept in fashion to think about tomorrow. Tomorrow is worse [laughs]. When you are doing costumes, you’re not always thinking about the future like you do in fashion. It’s important to suggest to students that you have to learn a little bit of everything, learn about history, culture, it’s important, and it doesn’t happen in the future.
