Inspiration
I have many, many books on art and design, but only one on fashion. It is a lovely book to turn to for inspiration, as it is more about the process than the end product. Christian Lacroix - The Diary of A Collection contains many of the designer's scrapbook pages, illustrating the process he followed when designing this particular collection.

I love his scrapbopoks!!!
Wow, these are gorgeous pages!! And what really strikes me is that they are not that different to something that we mere mortals might make... Inspiration indeed!
I absolutely love this...thanks for sharing. Great inspiration for ideas to do on journal pages.
lovely. and i love the handwriting.
karina - Yes, aren't they beautiful? I love his designs in general - they are so wonderfully dramatic and theatrical!
kendalee - Oh, there are many more pages I could show! I wish they published a diary of each of his collections ...
bronwyn - That is exactly why I dug this book out! I sometimes feel like weeping when I look at my own journal pages, though!
editor - I love the handwriting too! It actually struck me when I looked at it again yesterday - how a beautiful handwriting can transform something! I was blessed with a particularly ugly scrawl. I blame it all on a Grade 5 teacher who said I had a very adult handwriting style, which I took as a compliment. So I never tried to write beautifully (or even just legibly). I wonder if I can change it at this late stage?
