Christian Lacroix will get to play curator this year – which is actually what he originally intended to do professionally, as reported here in an earlier blog. He’ll guest curate the annual Arles photo show in his native Southern France. Some 55,000 visitors attended last year's event, and with Lacroix on board, the 2008 show is set to be even bigger. Lacroix will also show Polaroids from his fashion house, as well as behind-the-scenes shots. Guess we should add amateur photographer to that bursting creative resume.
The event, called Rencontres de Photographie d'Arles, runs from July 8 to September 14.
