I'm a fan of the 'Christian Lacroix' facebook group and the brand seems to be doing some interesting things.. without the presence of Lacroix.
To me, it appears that they are starting to build the brand from the ground again - they're doing ordinary but wearable menswear and now they appear to be shooting a campaign for glasses/accessories.
What confuses me is that they keep posting archive fashion shows from Lacroix (the hour-long haute couture spectacles that the brand is celebrated for) with what appears to be little intention of bringing it/the fashion/the designer back.
It seems that the only reason this brand is continuing to live is to make as much money as possible from the sales of mundane objects [the polar opposite of the entire Lacroix aesthetic] that a famous name can draw in. If it's come to that, somebody please turn the life-support off!

How does it all work? Does Lacroix still gets money from his brand / name being used to design clothes? Because if I were him and didn't need the money, I'd rather have the clothes department of my house closed than witness what they're doing using his name... I also wonder why they decided to focus on the mensline and for what it seems to be a relatively young audience when I'm sure that their target customers barely care for Lacroix.

I never know we could buy his shoes now! See here. I thought his women's line is completely out of business....

Personally it would have been nice to see some Lacroix dresses on MET this year. His use of floral elements is joyful and fun.

Joyful and fun, so the exact opposite of the Met Gala.
