but by the 1980s, he had become a fashion impresario who was widely credited with single-handedly saving couture, wooing the media with his wildly photogenic designs. In the 1990s, he took this one step further, raising the bar in the world of perfume with Christian Lacroix fragrances, and today, you can save on these delightful scents with FragranceX.
In 1980, Lacroix collaborated with the couturier to the Tokyo imperial court, and the following year, he joined the house of Jean Patou with Jean-Jacques Picard. Together, they took up the challenge of haute couture, a level of dressing that was generally felt to be in decline at the time, and introduced the extravagance and baroque lavishness that became a hallmark of the 1980s. Lacroix’s work was recognized in 1986, when he first won the Golden Thimble (an accolade he was to win again two years later), and in 1987, he was proclaimed Most Influential Foreign Designer by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. That same year, Lacroix and Picard joined forces with Bernard Arnault of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton to found the house of Christian Lacroix.
Their first couture collection was presented that July and greeted with rave reviews: “Vive Lacroix! There’s been nothing like it in 25 years,” sang The Sunday Times, while Vogue labeled him “Paris’s most talked-about designer,” celebrating his “irreverent spirit” and his extravagant use of detail. Not since Dior’s New Look had couture generated such a blaze of publicity. This paved the way for branching out into new areas, such as luxury Christian Lacroix perfumes.
