there is hope yet that christian lacroix may be saved!! rumours are rife that restructuring firm bernard krief consultants has put in a bail-out bid and will table this formally next week. if this is false however, falic group (the label's owner) will be forced to restructure and slash the current workforce of 124 artisans to just 12. these women are part of a dying breed of "petites mains" who work the couture houses. with the industry being supported by no more than a couple of hundred clients globally as well as the rise of cheap overseas labour it is no wonder that their jobs are being sacrificed. but what of france? what would french fashion be without all of this? of all photographs care of girls.pic.
