Christian Lacroix founded his namesake couture house in 1987 with support from the LVMH group. The brand gained immediate recognition for the "pouf" skirt, which became a defining silhouette of the decade. Lacroix is credited with revitalizing the haute couture industry during the late 20th century through his eclectic use of color and historical references. Following financial difficulties, the house filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and transitioned into licensing and lifestyle products.
