A few weeks ago rumours emerged that Spanish streetwear brand
Desigual were teaming up with
Christian Lacroix to collaborate on 30 garments for their AW11 collection which I was sceptical of – until the catwalk images circulated last week proved it. In what looks set to be an ongoing partnership, Desigual’s aim is to ‘add a bit of fresh air to the brand’, blending Couturier Lacroix’s unique aesthetic with the urban and casual stance the brand are better known for.
Speaking about Desigual, Lacroix said:
“I was awestruck by the first girl dressed by Desigual that I saw in Paris. As I watched her, I could recognise in her a member of my own tribe. It was an explosion of colors and patchwork under the elegant, discreet and always monotonous French sky. It was fantastic, truly love at first sight, a breath of fresh air, all multicoloured, scorching, revitalizing, radiating Mediterranean colours and flavours and creeping into this global and colourless magma inhabited by zombies and clones.”
