Angel has more than a dozen Desigual pieces designed by Paris couturier Christian Lacroix from the Fall-Winter 2015 collection, including some stunning new coats, dresses, T-shirts and blouses.
Here’s how Lacroix described the first time he saw a woman wearing Desigual:
“I was awestruck by the first girl dressed by Desigual that I saw in Paris. As I watched her, I could recognize in her a member of my own tribe. It was an explosion of colours and patchwork under the elegant, discreet and always monotonous French sky. It was fantastic, truly love at first sight, a breath of fresh air, all multicoloured, scorching, revitalizing, radiating Mediterranean colours and flavours and creeping into this global and colourless magma inhabited by zombies and clones.”

And since this post features the stylings of Monsieur Lacroix, here is a song by one of the original stars of French cinema, Jean Gabin, who started out singing at the Moulin Rogue in the 1920s, imitating the style of Maurice Chevalier:
Speaking of the Moulin Rouge — can you sing the chorus: “Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada”:
