As in his couture collections, Lacroix intentionally mismatches fabrics and textures - think orange leather sofas, chocolate brown canvas walls, sequined drapes and lots of feathers. And when guests lie on their beds, they look up at ceilings fitted with gemmed headdresses, 18th century French prints and mirrors...
