Whoever said that polka dots and stripes don’t go together?

Meanwhile, polka dots large and small played hide and seek on a tulip dress with striped ruffles at the sleeves.


Lacroix, who studied art history before turning to fashion design, is famed for his irreverent use of colors inspired by his native Provence.

Hothouse pinks, citruses and aqua colors have emerged as a major trend for next spring, but basically, anything goes.


And why stop with an arresting outfit? The accessories on display included bold statement jewelry like huge silver bauble necklaces and full-frontal perspex bibs that were laser-cut into shapes resembling a cross between a skeleton and a chandelier.
