Aurevoir Couture

I know I'm late but I was in the US when this tragedy occurred, so I'm paying my respects now, as should you... also I've done fuck all on fashion in ages. SHAME ON ME.

Bye Bye Lacroix you gave us works of elaborate, ostentatious, flamboyant and magical art!



R.I.P. small business couture... After 22 years of business the French fashion house of Lacroix has announced it cannot pay it's creditors and has had to gracefully bow out.

NOOOOO I desperately wail casting a disapproving eye at my primarni floral summer dress (you know they won't go bust as they pay poor lil indian children 0.06 pence to work their filanges to the bone for our discount garms) all our... well definitely my broke arse can't resist their unethical steals. I didn't even think Lacroix counted as small business couture, I haven't even become enough of a literary G to be able to afford such an opulent statement piece of apparel. I'm gutted.

Favourite of legends such as Dita Von Teese and Sarah Jessica Parker (who used a Lacroix masterpiece wedding gown in a scene in Sex and the City the Movie) It's safe to say a tear to everyone's eye when the recession has finally reached the point of culling the beautiful and necessary! I hear through the grape vine however that he's trying to sort his ish out so we can live in sheer hope that like the phoenix and Jean Grey from X-men, he will rise again... if not burn these images into your retinas yeah.









Honestly... what the hell will we do without amazing designs like this to marvel at!? Who knows who could be next.
