Christian Lacroix Haute Couture

Personal research led to the creation of this piece, which pays homage to the work garment and the blue color associated with it. The cotton serge has been bleached, symbolizing wear and the passage of time, and is transformed into an exceptional recycled material. Each blue puzzle piece is edged with stitching, emphasizing the gradient and the nobility of the work garment's life accidents. The sleeve cuffs are embroidered with cotton thread, jet black pearls, and "crimped" sequins (transformation techniques developed by Aurélie Lanoiselée).
