Generous floral sprays also adorn two large velvet pillows , « Flowerworks » and « Fleurs d ’ Artifices ». « Floribunda » a round cushion decorated with the House ’ s signature chevron , portrays other equally original , sparkling blooms .
The colorama of these imaginary plants offers a multitude of possibilities and the eye is inextricably drawn to the playful « Nature Games » pillow . Another finely embroidered linen pillow , « Jardin des Hespérides », proposes an illuminated flower garden .
The eponymous Merino wool plaid offers welcome comfort to travellers dazzled by this trip through space and time . Finally , the soft velvet cushion « Cosmos Eden » and its myriad of flowers and butterflies perpetuate the euphoric effects of this awakened dream .

CHRISTIAN LACROIX AND DESIGNERS GUILD “ ATLANTIS ”
Christian Lacroix Maison presents “ Atlantis ”, the new capsule collection for autumnwinter 2021 : a floral voyage through a world of legends .
Dawn breaks over the island blessed by the Olympian gods , home to gigantic hybrid blooms draped over a spectacular panoramic wallpaper of the same name . The iridescent background echoes the vibrant rays of the sun , blending with wisps of smoke from a recently erupted young volcano .
With a background originating from French , Swiss , Slavic and African roots , Sacha Walckhoff ’ s influences are as diverse as his origins . Walckhoff ’ s long association with fashion icon Christian Lacroix began in 1992 and continued for most of the ensuing two decades , with interludes designing menswear , womenswear and accessory collections for Kenzo and Michel Klein along the way .
His tenure as hand-groomed successor to Lacroix culminated with his appointment to the post of Creative Director in 2010 , from which he has led an ambitious expansion of the Lacroix brand into new areas .
