Collection
Lacroix STRAVAGANZA
This collection celebrates all Southern cultures and landscapes. From Africa to Florida and from the Amazon to Sicily by way of Mexico and Rajasthan, they are so richly intertwined that none of them are truly recognisable.
To celebrate my 30th anniversary at the House, I came up with this extravagant kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and shimmering materials to which only Christian Lacroix holds the secret.
Sacha Walckhoff, Creative Director
With its eclectic mix of patterns, this new season evokes a wide and varied range of stories while affirming its fanciful, singular and eclectic nature, which constitutes the very essence of this House that has been plotting its course for over 35 years.

Lanzarote Garden
Lanzarote Garden is an exuberant, as if hand-painted, panorama of cactuses blooming in the middle of the midnight desert; it is accompanied by Guatiza, a cotton fabric embellished with large sensual cannibalistic flowers.
Novafrica
The Novafrica Sunrise and Novafrica Sunset panels depict an imaginary, spatial and Baroque Africa, where Kaoscope satin and velvet can display their psychedelic polychromy. A rug, whose design evokes an unknown planet or island, supplements this decorative scheme.
Inhotim park
Inhotim Park is a vast landscape of trees where giant swirling leaves are set upon shimmering silk ribbon trunks. Belorizonte velvet, satin and wallpaper accompany this stylised forest clearing.
Fretwork garden
With Fretwork Garden, reminiscent of an elegant winter garden, climbing bamboo and exotic irises are arranged on a panoramic design, a wallpaper and satiny cotton fabrics.
empuria
The Empuria panoramic wallpaper and its matching cotton sateen evoke a forgotten palace where vegetation gradually takes over and adorns the stucco of the past.
Jaipur stripe
Jaipur Stripe is a sheared velvet with colours of spices whose graphic design with an Ikat chevron was inspired by one of the iconic symbols of Maison Lacroix.Lastly, Vallarta, comprising a cotton fabric and a wallpaper full of poppies and yellow cosmos flowers, is an opulent addition to this decidedly joyful and optimistic collection.
