The company is headed and owned by sister and brother – Tricia Guild, Founder and Creative Director & Simon Jeffreys, Group Chief Executive. International showrooms are in New York, Paris & Munich with a store and showrooms in Kings Road and Marylebone High Street London.
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, women’s 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 has 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.
Designers Guild has carefully researched the archives in order to produce, and make available to the public, collections inspired by the royal palaces which not only possess integrity and splendour, but are of the highest quality. The range has been produced using the finest weavers, printers and specialist mills whose expertise will ensure a balance of remaining faithful to traditional weaving and printing methods and the very latest in modern technology.
This is the first licensing agreement of this kind that the Royal Collection has undertaken. Designers Guild is therefore honoured to present this inaugural collection of jacquard woven silk damasks, embroidered silks, silk velvets, sumptuous jacquard velvets and wonderful flock printed and surface printed wallpapers.
