Christian Lacroix

While writing a piece on the rise and fall of french designer Christian Lacroix I figured writing my blog about it my give me a little more inspiration and help the piece flow a little better.

A fashion fairy tale memoir, Christian Lacroix and the tale of Sleeping Beauty is the traditional tale of sleeping beauty but incorporating the life success of the designer, illustrated by the man himself.

Through his drawings and designs he expresses his ideas, feelings and emotions. If you really look at the image you begin to see what he is trying to say or what he he trying to make the reader feel.

 I need to look closely at what the designer is trying to say through his illustrations of the book.

Here are a few illustrations taken from the book that I have found on the internet. Using the words from the pages of the book sometimes they help to search for some meaning within the images:

Some people say it with words, Christian Lacroix says it with art. My job now is to work out what exactly he is saying and write about it. My plan was writing it in a different context such as my blog would inspire me a little, I am hoping when I start back on the article it will just flow.
