“Mr. Lacroix’s Pearls” a film by Diane Pernet and Matthew Hawkins – a tribute to both Christian Lacroix and Mr. Pearl from my archives

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Over lunch today I was talking about my dear friend Mr. Pearl and also Christian Lacroix. More than a decade ago I had the pleasure to meet with Mr. Lacroix, a most charming man and supreme talent as we all know. Anyway, I came back from lunch and decided to post these two films from my archives.

Later,

Diane
