Christian Lacroix Files for Bankruptcy -- Get Your Gowns Quick, Girls!

If you’d been dreaming of a Christian Lacroix wedding dress like the stunning Spanish-style one, from the designer, that Christina Aguilera wore when she wed Jordan Bratman in 2005, your time could be running out. The fashion house filed for bankruptcy in France, in a petition similar to Chapter 11. Lacroix is known for his ornamental, outlandish gowns — and for being one of the first to incorporate color. Just earlier this month, Philomèna de Tornos, who married a descendant of French royalty, marched down the aisle in a Lacroix custom gown embellished with baby blue ribbon.

We think these whimsical, romantic gowns from Lacroix's spring 2009 wedding collection would be perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. Exactly what you had in mind? Get yours while you can!
