“The crux of this exhibition is the wedding between Christian Lacroix’s couture heritage and his ardour for the theatre. These costumes exemplify his stage of mastery by means of unimaginable consideration to element,” says Gomes. “[They] have the identical method and talent stage as these proven on the runway, which manifests in these textured layered items that emphasize Pear Gynt‘s fantasy world. Whether or not the costumes are lavishly embellished or aged and painted, Lacroix achieves this in a practical, well-executed approach.”
