The Lacroix Effect
Poufs, bright florals, whimsy, clashing prints, 18th-century drama, pop-art colors...it's all Lacroix to me.

And that got me thinking. The more I thought about it, the more I could recall Lacroix's influence going beyond the Fall/ Winter 2009 season.

Here are some examples of designs that all posses that Lacroix spirit.

Balenciaga Spring/ Summer 2008

Marc Jacobs Fall/ Winter 2009

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/ Summer 2009

A bit far fetched if you have such easy criteria...

You can relate one of those words you named with probably one or two outfits in pretty much every collection made. There is enough 18th century drama and florals to make the world go round and highly likely there would be even without Lacroix

I remember Erdem being very Lacroix, and style.com put his collection in their top 10.
I was just watching that Marc Jacobs show yesterday and thought how Lacroix that black and white dress was.

Certainly fashion has more than its fair share of floral prints and historical references, and I'm not saying every time a designer uses a floral print, they're copying Lacroix...but...when Lacroix has literally been working the same themes (poufs, bright florals, 18th century drama, loud/clashing prints, etc) so perfectly for the last 22 years, they do sort of become his. It's no different, really, than Chanel's tweed suits, pearls and camellias.

I think Lacroix definately was part of these fashion "trends" and helped distribute them, but fashion isn't exactly original. These patterns appear over and over again because our perception of aethetics hasn't changed much through the years and there's only so much designers can do to add novelty to their collections...
But I do think Christian Lacroix is phenomenal!
