The end of the haute couture and ready-to-wear activities of Christain Lacroix was announced recently, despite the support from the fashion industry and the hope of thousands around the world.
Christian Lacroix's talent is indisputable and his signature opulent creations including his short puffball skirts are legendary although in reality his collections didn’t sell enough to keep the company alive.
But isn't fashion about continuity and longevity? Shouldn't Christian Lacroix be given financial support in addition to the moral support he received from his contemporaries? Don't you think that the French government should save this national treasure?
Do you think Christian Lacroix deserves to be given a second chance?

"Yes! Mr. Lacroix shook up the fashion world with his innovative style, we need paradigm shifters!"

"No, not really (but I don’t want to sound mean). I think he had enough chances."

"No. Christian Lacroix has a lot of talent and a strong personality, but he doesn’t know (or he doesn’t know how to be surrounded by the right people) to make it work as an economic activity."
