Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lacroix's ready-to-wear and haute couture might be things of the past following the French fashion label's bankruptcy last year, but the label will be branching out into stationery, sunglasses, and home decoration.
According to fashion trade paper Women's Wear Daily, Christian Lacroix has already signed deals for all four collections: his sunglasses range in collaboration with Hong Kong-based label Mondottica will launch in September, New York company Libretto Holdings will introduce Lacroix-branded stationery the same month, and his home textiles will be released together with England's Designers Guild next year.
A range of 'decorative wood panels' will launch as early as June but is considered a business-to-business venture for decorators.
Lacroix CEO Nicolas Topiol also told WWD in the exclusive interview that the brand was looking for new licensing partners for the children's line, while those for its bridal and men's wear ranges were standing by the company. The designer Christian Lacroix himself will have nothing to do with these projects, however.
