4.0 out of 5 stars Delve into the creative process of a famous designer, October 27, 1998
This review is from: CHRISTIAN LACROIX: The Diary of a Collection (Hardcover)
I recommend this as a must have for anyone interested in couture. It is a very detailed and revealing book on the working methods of Christian Lacroix. No other book follows the mind of a famous designer as he creates a collection the way this book does. It draws on Christian's very own notes and scrapbook. Great content, great visuals, great book!

This review is from: CHRISTIAN LACROIX: The Diary of a Collection (Hardcover)
each page is worth becoming a central piece of decoration in you bedroom or your entrance hall. Hand-written notes, collages, intimate comments. Everything in this book talks to the heart. You will love this masterpiece. More than a book!

5.0 out of 5 stars extreme couture, February 19, 2006

This review is from: CHRISTIAN LACROIX: The Diary of a Collection (Hardcover)
An extremely personal record of the inner workings of one of the most brilliant romantics to work in french couture. If you admire artists that follow their own vision (and a wonderfully extreme vision at that!) this "scrap-book" will forever inspire and delight you. Mr. Lacroix's strong interest in historical research, passion for color and textiles. and fascination with creating one-of -a-kind-looks for a dramatic, glamorous, accentric woman fills his book of ideas with an unusual richness. A true fashion original.
