    Every time I hear the name Christian Lacroix I think of Edina from Absolutely Fabulous. I don’t think she would like Lacroix being in buisness with Avon.

      Same here!! (And can’t wait for the movie, I’m so excited)

      And so agree. Edina would not be caught dead buying Avon.

    Avon & Christian Lacroix – 3 words I never thought I’d see in the same sentence! I remember his original fragrance, with the (fake) piece of coral on the bottle stopper – I worked with a lady who wore it & she always smelled gorgeous. Chuckling at the Ab Fab observations – I loved that programme.

      Oh, he’s been doing scents with Avon since 2007! Or I should say, the brand has…I am a little confused as to whether or not Christian Lacroix, the man, owns his name for business purposes or not, but I don’t think he does. When he did work for Desigual he used “Monsieur C. Lacroix” or “Monsieur Christian Lacroix”, I think for contractual reasons.

        I had no idea, Robin, thank you for the info. I know what you mean about him &/or his named business being involved or not. We’re currently in the middle of a series of half hour programmes about fashion designers (we’ve had Givenchy, Dior, YSL & this week, Chanel) & in the Chanel one we were told that it’s the only major design house still in private ownership, which I thought was interesting. It also mentioned Chanel No. 5 as being the original ‘designer’ fragrance, though it also said that Paul Poiret had started Parfums de Rosine (which I didn’t know, to my horror!) although he never actually attached his name to it publicly.

          Yes — if only he’d named it Parfums de Poiret! But many designer brands, even some where the designer is still alive and working, don’t own their own name for perfume and sometimes even fashion purposes. Jil Sander still designs, but not under her own name since she doesn’t own it, and there are many other examples. Lanvin sold their rights (as opposed to a limited contractual license) to the name Lanvin for perfume to InterParfums. So when you buy a “designer” perfume, well, it goes without saying.

            So true, Robin. My main bugbear in this situation is Jo Malone, especially when I see so many visitors from the US & Japan in London stores at Christmas time, thinking they are buying an iconic British brand – I just want to scream “Estee Lauder” at them & direct them to Ms Malone’s new(ish) shop in Elizabeth Street!
