I always felt that Christian Lacroix was far too ostentatious and bling for me - and really, for just about anyone I know, to be honest. And it seems that screeching over the top style has not survived the recession and Lacroix has run his final show - for now.
The Paris' winter 2010 haute couture sessions closed yesterday, one day after Christian's emotional last show. And of course the great irony is that the final collection got rave reviews. Put together by end of bolts of fabric left in the show room, and relying in donated time and love from those who adore Christian, the show - predictably ended in tears.
Christian is hoping that his show will make people see he should not disappear over the horizon - and that some generous soul will come to his rescue. Who knows? His over the top bling will be missed.

This collection is beautiful. I love the colours and the amazing materials used. Such a bittersweet way to say goodbye.
