AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Christian Lacroix Bazar wool jacquard jacket - early 2000s, made in France
HIGHLIGHTS: experimental multi-layer jacquard • Japan-tinged pastel palette • Lacroix’s graphic-textile period • precise French tailoring
A Christian Lacroix Bazar jacket from the early 2000s, crafted from a complex, technically demanding wool jacquard. The fabric is not printed but woven in layers: a melange base, a structural mid-layer and a top layer of ink-like, calligraphic strokes - a rare textile technique that produces a multidimensional, tactile surface.
A dry, Japan-inflected palette of muted pastels contrasted with ink-black strokes gives the piece its intellectual tone. It reads as an art jacket, but with restraint. The pattern is deliberately composed: the motif aligns along the lapel line without breaking - a precision rarely seen outside high-end tailoring.
Clean French tailoring: the silhouette appears structured and composed, yet the shape comes from the cut rather than rigidity - the jacket remains soft and comfortable in wear.
CONDITION:
Exterior: excellent, the jacquard is crisp, clean and structurally intact, no odour issues
Lining: a gentle even colour change around the upper back/under-collar area, consistent with early-2000s acetate linings; a small tear in the lining fabric along the shoulder area (approx. 1 cm), not visible when worn. All interior elements remain stable, and the piece has been professionally cleaned.
PROVENANCE & SIGNIFICANCE
This jacket comes from the early 2000s, when Christian Lacroix was actively experimenting with textile engineering. The multi-layer jacquard used here is a technically demanding weave, produced in small quantities due to the time and skill involved - pieces from these series are seldom seen today. Its clean, Japan-influenced graphic language reflects the moment when fashion moved away from decorative maximalism towards artistic restraint - a shift that now feels strikingly contemporary.
