Christian Lacroix — 1990s Vintage

Not everything worth collecting belongs on a wall.

From the 1990s Bazar de Christian Lacroix collection, these extraordinary trousers capture the designer’s exuberant approach to color, print, and unexpected combinations.

Inspired by the layered, torn street posters of Paris, the vibrant collage brings together fragmented French typography, vintage advertising imagery, and a riot of contrasting colors.

Reminiscent of the décollage works of French artist Jacques Villeglé, the print transforms everyday street graphics into something wonderfully irreverent.

Cut with a flattering high waist and straight-leg silhouette, the trousers balance their exuberant print with classic tailoring. Wear them with a simple black knit, crisp white shirt, or oversized blazer and let the artwork do the talking.

A little art history. A lot of attitude.
