Iconic French designer Christian Lacroix
is the latest couturier to lend his unique sense of aesthetics to the
non-fashion realm. In this case, Lacroix was chosen by the French
Railways to renovate the interiors of their high-speed trains. Over the
next 5 years, all high-speed trains on the Atlantic route and the new
route to Eastern France will be made over by Lacroix and his design
team, promising to transform their drab interiors into ultra modern,
stylish, boutique-hotel-like environments. It's actually the second
time Lacroix has delved into the world of interiors. He transformed the
Hotel du Petit Moulin in
Paris into a stunning art hotel, creating different themes for each
room.
As
far as we know this is the first time a high fashion designer has been
charged with revamping the railways. Could train travel get any more
hip? by Billy T
