Lacroix, You’ve been on my Mind
In light of recent events concerning Christian Lacroix, like the PETA streaker and Helen Mirren wearing a gorgeous Lacroix gown to the Oscars, I decided I just had to check out what he sent down the runway for Fall 2007. At first I was a little bored. I wasn’t exactly bored with the clothes, but with the color scheme, if you can call all black a true color scheme. Then all of the sudden the ultra cute minis I was seeing before began to pop. The blacks and gun metals turned to electric blues and hot pinks. It was almost as if the skies were opening up after a gray snowy day. Even after the burst of bright, Lacroix continue the electric them with a bright yellow belt over a little black dress or a hot pink bow to make the cutest black shift dress pop.

I absolutely adored the graphic prints on some of the more vibrant dresses. There is the cutest mini dress with a super deep v-neck and a drop waist. It reminded me of the female version of Peter Pan, and anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Peter Pan! I also like the killer hot pink mini with the black bow. I love how bad-ass the dress looked with the studded elbow-length leather gloves.

I think my favorite part of the show was the accessories. The boots the models wore were absolutely fabulous. They were sort of biker, sort of cowboy, but completely girlie with the studs creating a floral print across the toe. I also was really psyched to see the prettyful over-sized hair clips the models wore in their hair. I have a clip similar to the ones they wore, but I never thought to wear it in the front instead of the back.
