Christian Lacroix to Roll Out New Products Not Designed by Christian Lacroix

在2009年抵不過金融海嘯的設計師品牌Christian Lacroix今年有了新的動作。
接下來將會看到Christian Lacroix label推出新的設計，但並非出自Christian Lacroix 本人。CEO Nicolas Topiol 正計畫取得執照後，將會推出一系列的太陽眼鏡/眼鏡、文具以及居家紡織品。並且正商討將推出內衣系列、童裝、以及其他飾品。Ready- to-wear系列將要等到2012年才會重出江湖。




In the coming months and years, you may see new product lines bearing the Christian Lacroix label, but those will not be designed by the man himself. Christian Lacroix has severed all ties with his namesake house, which is currently restructuring and racking up licensing deals after failing to get bought out of bankruptcy. CEO Nicolas Topiol plans to roll out new licensing deals for Christian Lacroix eyewear and sunglasses, stationery, and home textiles. He's in talks to launch innerwear, childrenswear, and other men's and women's accessories. Women's ready-to-wear may not return until 2012, and the current staff of 30 will probably be cut to around 12.

Meanwhile, Lacroix is busying himself with things like train-worker uniforms, theater costumes, and designing hotels under his own company, XLCX. Too bad he can't retain rights to his own name.
