Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Couture

Theme: An Explosion of Cyndi Lauper meets Anna Karenina meets the Hilton Sisters circa 2001, on LSD


One word: wow.
Quite simply put, there was everything. Everything you could imagine, all in one collection.

It was cohesive, though, which must be very difficult to pull off when the collection resembles something that a colour blind five-year-old would have put together (but in a good way).

It was a collage of patterns, colours and fabrics.

So mind-blowing it was, that you have to take a triple take of the collection in order to really undestand each look.

From the stripes to the drapes, from the bows to the bangles, and from the poufs to the patterns.. Oi, vey.

There was a little bit of Africa, a little bit of the 80s, a little bit of Queen Elizabeth I, with military influences and a little bit of society lady.

One thing that sums up the whole collection: it's all party girl.

Overall: Brilliant. Love it all.

NOTES:
- Accessories and jewelry was fantastic.
- Eccentric purses and clutches were to-die-for.
- New trend: BIG hoop earrings.


Rock on.
