FW 1999 Christian Lacroix Runway Ensemble

Stunning 3 piece ensemble from the Christian Lacroix Ready-to-Wear Runway Collection Fall / Winter 1999. Christian Lacroix designs the most impressive, colorful, unique and astounding gowns and cocktail dresses that one can only describe as 'masterpieces'. Christian Lacroix favors the colors of the Mediterranean region, a hodgepodge of patterns and experimental fabrics. This breathtaking embroidered one-shoulder evening gown is a perfect example of his genius. This 3 piece ensemble features a black asymmetric layered skirt embellished with colorful threading and an organza overlay. The floral print embroidered one-shoulder bustier body is super seductive and comes with a dramatic colorful embroidered stole for an added touch of glamour.
