Of all of the many, many designer/high street collaborations we've seen recently, I have to admit, this is one of the most unexpected. Christian Lacroix has created a line of clothes, accessories and homeware for French Catalogue company, La Redoute. The items, which will be available from mid-July, include a red ruffle trench coat, a silk taffeta dress and a pair of cowboy boots, and there's also handbags, towels, bedlinen, and even a striped armchair and ottoman set. Pictured here is the trench coat and a travel bag - I can't wait to see the rest! "In design, you always have to connect with real life," said Lacroix. Well, exactly.
