Originally published to accompany the recent, hugely successful exhibition at the Musee de la Mode et du Textile in Paris, which Christian Lacroix styled and co-curated, this book draws on the Museum's staggering archives to tell the story of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, as seen through Lacroix's inimitable eye. It also juxtaposes the collections with the most significant designs from Lacroix's own career, bringing to light the fundamental stylistic and formal principles that make up the history of fashion.

Christian Lacroix casts his eye over the costume collections of the Musee des Art Decoratifs in Paris
