Designer Christian Lacroix French
Not on view
Mrs. Kempner's jackets, coats, and ensembles from Christian Lacroix are in the designer's signature style. Lacroix, famed as a master collagist of materials, employs the entire spectrum of the artisanal tradesmen, les petites mains, who are responsible for the embroidery, trimming, and other handwork of haute-couture embellishment. Lacroix's fascination with nineteenth-century dress styles still persistent in traditional regional costume emerges in both the silhouettes of his garments and their applied patterning.
