Christa de Carouge designed beautiful textiles and clothing that complimented the wearer and gave great freedom of movement and comfort. An excellent exhibition at the Musée de Carouge displays examples of her work, profiles her talent and unique personality and pays homage to a designer and human being who left an indelible mark on the community whose name she adopted. Read an interview with the exhibition curator on my blog ( link in profile). #muséedecarouge #swissfashiondesigner #swissfashiondesign #swissmuseum #genevalifestyle #clgcolorcrush #creativelivinggeneva #creativeliving #fashion #fashiondesigner
