It might be surprising to learn that one of the world's most dramatic, unapologetically elegant and glamorous designers almost didn't become a fashion designer at all. Christian Lacroix originally wanted to be a museum curator, and studied at the Sorbonne and Ecole du Louvre in Paris. Can you imagine? Lacroix's talents almost went to waste – maybe he could have embroidered the walls of the museum?
Lucky for Couture.Zappos.com that Lacroix fell into fashion by chance, landing a job as an assistant at Hermes and the rest is history. The Spring 2008 shoe collection is full of the design flourishes - sumptuous velvets, satins, crystals, color and prints, that Lacroix is famous for. The Christian Lacroix flower-embroidered pump is both perfect for jeans and a tee that need a bit of dressing up or a pencil skirt and blouse for work. The high-heeled sandal with rhinestone detail is elegant without being too formal and pairs beautifully with a little black dress. No wonder he's sustained longevity in the business!
