Since then there has been a considerable amount of talent at the house of Patou, including Marc Bohan 1953-56, Karl Lagerfeld 1960-1963, and Christian LeCroix 1982-87. The last clothing collection was in 1987, and since that time Patou has produced perfumes.&quot;</p><p>and</p><p>&quot;<b>Christian LaCroix,</b> (b. 1951) Poofs, ruffles and giant bows. Nothing said flamboyant 1980s fashion better than the designs of Christian LaCroix. The designer was working for the House of Jean Patou when, in 1987, he joined forces with Bernard Arnault to create the couture house of Christian LaCroix. After exploding onto the Paris fashion scene, LaCroix quickly earned his place as the darling of outrageous excess.&quot;</p><p>The sketch would best be referred to as &quot;by Christian LaCroix for Jean Patou&quot;.</p><p>Fabulous!</p><p>Here is a youtube video about CL&#039;s autumn/winter 1987 collection (&quot;hiver&quot; = winter), sadly there is no audio but when you have 40 minutes to kill, you might spot your gown or sketch!</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]m79RLVfxRns[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>adding:</p><p>Hmmm, I just found your ebay listing for this sketch. You may want to edit the description where you spell Patou as &quot;Pardou&quot; a few times. Your pricing is very ambitious but you may get lucky. It&#039;s a great find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
