Lacroix Couture: Alert Ab-Fab Pats and Edina

For the Lacroix show, Style.com sites Mssr. Lacroix's inspiration as "Little drummer boys, chichi soubrettes, Belle Époque madames, southern Mediterranean exotics". I get a little more quinceanera and House heritage; but there is no confusion over the sensory overload the viewer experiences in each look. Full of textures, pattern, volume, layers, and contrasts each look is a complete idea as opposed to a piece of a whole; in contrast to the equally gorgeous clarity seen below at Chanel. It is clear as to why , "darling it's LACROIXXXXXXXXX" was a phase with celestial-like power on the fashion fiend series, Absolutely Fabulous. If only the characters in the remake of Ab-Fab hold on to the O.G. legacy and continue pedestalling Lacroix and his luxurious, imaginative signatures. Fingers crossed!
