In the footwear industry, sneakers have always been a dowdy item owing to their conventional colors and style. However, with British sportswear-maker, Gola Classics, roping in the very high-end French fashion designer Christian Lacroix to design its new sneaker collection, the traditional sneakers have undergone a makeover. Lacroix’s childhood fascination for bullfights and his interest in historical costumes have found expression in the sneaker designs. The paisley pattern and the French baroque style of the Christian Lacroix Gola sneakers are inspired by the ornate designs on the bullfighter’s capes. It proves that with ingenuity even the drabbest item can don a classic look.
