Have you seen the exhibition of Christian Lacroix the Costumier yet? Oui? Non? Well, visitor to National Museum of Singapore, Ingrid and her friends did and judging by her review, they sure enjoyed themselves. Here’s a taster of what the French master of haute couture has brought to Singapore:

“Design wise, you will definitely be impressed by the details and depth of his work. His sketches were stunning to begin with and I love his dramatic use of color and fabric. In case you have no idea, he first began with ready-to-wear designs to the displays you see in National Museum which are his works for operas, theatre and dance.  For example, you will probably know “Carmen” and Shakespeare’s “Othello”. I think it is quite a rare opportunity for Singaporeans to be in touch with this aspect of the Arts since Opera is not a very “hip” thing in town.”

Christian Lacroix the Costumier is showing till 7 Jun 2009 and if you wear RED to the exhibition this weekend (9-10th May 2009), you’ll enjoy free entry. French lace completely optional.
