LACROIX.folding.

everyone remembers the Lil'Kim lyrics that put them on for the Hip Hop community....

"Lil Kim the Queen Bee, so you best take heed. Shall I proceed? (Yes indeed!) ...

So I look slick, in my six, with my Christian LaCroix"

I wonder if that helped lead to the bankruptcy. i kid.

But yesterday at the couture show in Paris, there were no red carnations in the seats (a custom to toss during the final model walk since '87). And many of the shows administrators, caterers, and mdoels worked for free.

CL filed for bankruptcy in May and told employees last Fridat the workforce would be cut from 124 to 12 unless a buyer swoops in and saves the infmaous fashion house.

Lacriox is patiently waiting got a billionaire somewhere to ensure that his couture clients get their orders. I hope he's wooing the "actual" couture clients since without the line they'll def have the extra stacks to help him out...

Hopefully the tears of the visibly emotional couturier, during his "final" lap of honor, are not in vain.
