Since its inception in 1987, the house of Christian Lacroix has electrified the fashion world with its many collections inspired by gypsy and Provencal traditions and by the flamboyant Haute Couture scene in Paris and London during the swinging 60s.

Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with an innate, complex glamour and a vivacious confidence. Its reputation as the maison for haute couture was well founded and built upon a distinctive and passionate creative energy.

The house of Christian Lacroix is creatively led by Sacha Walkhoff, Mr Lacroix's second in command for over seventeen years. Under his creative direction, the house now shows Menswear and accessories, womens accessories, eye wear, a line of stationery, fragrance and of course furnishing fabrics under worldwide license with Designers Guild.

Following on from the success of the first two collections of fabrics & wallpaper, 'Arles' and 'Air de Paris', as well as previous collections of rugs and cushions, AW12 sees the introduction of a fantastic new range of cushions capturing the flamboyance and energy of the fashion house. This season Lacroix have explored both Astrological signs and some of Europe's most spirited capital cities to bring us seven new cushions alive with distinctive flourishes and vivid motifs.
