1990s–Early 2000s

France

An exuberant silk skirt by Christian Lacroix, constructed from a vibrant patchwork of printed textiles arranged in cascading asymmetric ruffles that form a dramatic handkerchief hem. Drawing on travel ephemera, baroque references, and folkloric motifs, the piece reflects Lacroix’s maximalist vision and couture-informed construction. Movement and visual richness are integral to the silhouette, resulting in a quintessential expression of the designer’s romantic and theatrical language.
