Christian Lacroix.

Take a bow, the night is over / This masquerade is getting older / Lights are low, the curtains down / There’s no one here / There’s no one here, …

That video from Madame comes to mind upon hearing the news that Christian Lacroix is over . Gone now are the days of frivolous, opulence. The likes of which Miss Thurn und Taxis would have delivered to NY in a hermetically sealed Louis Vuitton trunk.

Ahh, the good old days, now Miss Taxis has turned into a librarian, albeit in Channel. Where is the loyalty today?

Hard times are all around as Lacroix never made any money during his gig run. The ladies are now gathering their beads, and lace in search of a new home. The company that gave it, it’s backing in the ME, ME, ME, decade. LVMH, said at the time that they wanted to create a brand and did not care about the loss.

Why cant I meet such people? Well they sold the company, to Falic Fashion Group, LLC, and they put it into administration.(which means this cash cow is gone, bitch).
