Christian Lacroix S/S '09

Lookout for everything bright and bejeweled this coming Spring as Lacroix has a collection of clutches that comes with lots of fine details. With colors ranging from black, earthy tones like beige and browns to bright yellow, you'll definitely be on the spotlight for the evening.










Am loving this simple beige clutch with sequin details. Simple yet elegant. Just the thing to go with an LBD. As for the one right below, well, think it reminds me of those one dollar coins we used to have here in Malaysia. Not very nice..










Think the one above's really pretty as well with the big flower on it. Very pretty. Very pretty indeed. Definitely gonna make a fashion statement with this one!




And of course, oddly enough, a wicker basket with leather handles. Talk about it sticking it out like a sore thumb!

Presenting: Paris Fashion Week: Christian Lacroix Spring/Summer 2008 Collection

Spring/Summer is all about splashes of colour and Christian Lacroix delivers just that! The collection is so vibrant, a true embodiment of Lacroix's signature carefree and fun style. In this collection, we see an interplay of flourescent, psychedelic prints, that act as a collage of sorts, that is created by swatches of different fabrics, colours and materials. Geometric shapes is also a key theme in Lacroix's S/S Collection for 2008 (see Cubic Bags below).







Hm, it seems as if everyone's coming out with novel shapes and styles for bags! Yesterday, we saw the accordion-esque bag from Bottega Veneta, and today, it's the cubic bag with granny purse closure by Lacroix! Good to know that fashion is on the move once again! Finally we have different shapes as opposed to your standard Hobo, Satchel, Tote, Clutches and what-have-yous. I applaud the designers for daring to think outside of the box.

The Verdict: Love the cubic bags! As you know, Bagaholic Bag is a fan of bright colours, (and hasn't owned a black bag to date) so needless to say, I love what Lacroix has done! I'd definitely wear all of the bags in this collection!

It seems as if the Lacroix Fall/Winter Collection 2007 consists mainly of structured top handle bags, most of which are embellished. The printed fabric ones are a tad too gaudy for my liking. To be honest, they look like upholstery fabric. Perhaps this Fall/Winter Collection is for the more mature consumer. The only one I can probably see myself carrying is the last boxy bag in blue leather.

Christian Lacroix Bags from Spring-Summer '07

Christian Lacroix Embroidered Tote

Christian Lacroix White Leather Structured Bag with Gold Hardware

Christian Lacroix, whom, if you didn't know is also the Creative/Artistic Designer for the Emilio Pucci label. That aside, the 2 bags above is from their Spring-Summer '07 Collection. The first embellished Embroidered tote is a lovely colour, with its intricate and elaborate design -- almost belonging to the Baroque Era in fact.

The second photo is Lacroix's White Leather Structured Bag with Gold Hardware. Though It looks really nice and classy, the zippered bottom bit reminds me of an overnight bag as well as a sportsbag (You know, the kind where the bottom bit is where you're supposed to put your shoes in??) That said, the bag looks rather clunky and heavy though.

Bagaholic Babe is loving the First Bag!
