Christian Lacroix was born in 1951 in Arles and he had founded his own house in 1987, which brought a very unique feel for Mediterranean colors to the world of fashion.
His venture was financed by LVMH where Bernard Arnault had been his protégé.
Before he had gathered experience at Hermès and later the Marseilles Museum of Fashion had dedicated a special exhibition to Christian Lacroix, who somehow brought a new type of romanticism into life.
