High Profile Train travel


Traveling in trains is one of the most convenient ways of commuting. It may be boring when it comes to ambiance and décor, but who really thinks of it as long as the purpose is served? Well, the French would beg to differ all thanks to Christian Lacroix. Iconic French designer Christian Lacroix is the latest couturier to lend his unique sense of aesthetics to the non-fashion realm. In this case, Lacroix was chosen by the French Railways to renovate the interiors of their high-speed trains. Over the next 5 years, all high-speed trains on the Atlantic route and the new route to Eastern France will be made over by Lacroix and his design team, promising to transform their drab interiors into ultra-modern, stylish, boutique-hotel-like environments.


It’s actually the second time Lacroix has delved into the world of interiors. He transformed the Hotel du Petit Moulin in Paris into a stunning art hotel, creating different themes for each room. As far as we know this is the first time a high fashion designer has been charged with revamping the railways. Could train travel get any more hip? I can’t answer that but I sure know where I am heading for my next swank date!
