Interview with 'Monsieur Christian Lacroix'

MONSIEUR CHRISTIAN LACROIX

World-celebrated couturier and curator, Monsieur Christian Lacroix brings his personal touch of theatrical flair, fantasy and folklore to the fore at Sofitel So Bangkok; his uninhibited imagination emanating throughout every element of the experience. His magnum opus is the creation of Sofitel So Bangkok's Tree of Life, a perfect harmony of The Five Elements.
Blending the delicate with the spectacular, Monsieur Christian Lacroix's opulent designs have come to embody French haute couture at its most splendid and extravagant. A world-renowned fashion designer, he has created everything from lifestyle products, accessories and perfumes to stage costumes for The Metropolitan Opera in New York and Opéra National de Paris.

ARTISTIC FLOURISHES
For Monsieur Christian Lacroix, Sofitel
So Bangkok is a canvas full of creative possibility, with inspiration derived from beauty both palpable and ethereal. The innovative uniforms, unique to each staff member, are imbued with bold style, enhancing the personalised experience of Sofitel So Bangkok. His creations are rich in colour and texture, a brave and refreshing
fusion of traditional Thai design and French sartorial style. The visionary installation, suspended from the ceiling of the street lobby, artfully embodies the raw symmetry of The Five Elements. Ignited by Monsieur Christian Lacroix's oneiric spirit, mythological creatures play and ramble in mid-air, brought to life with unexpected materials and vibrant details.
