    Haute Couture



    The extravaganza and spectacle of couture and couture week is something I've come to enjoy. With Paris Couture week starting of tomorrow( January 22) I though a thread devoted just to couture would be very appropriate.




    Soure:Wikipedia




    "In France, the designation "haute couture" is protected by law. A certain number of formal criteria (number of employees, participation in fashion shows...) must be met for a fashion house to use the label; a list of eligible houses is made official every year by the French Ministry of Industry. The haute couture houses belong to the professional union, the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
    The French term for ready-to-wear (not custom fitted) fashion is prêt-à-porter. Every haute couture house also markets prêt-à-porter collections, which typically deliver a higher return on investment than their custom clothing. In fact, much of the haute couture displayed at fashion shows today is never sold; it is created to enhance the good name of the house. Falling revenues have forced a few couture houses to abandon their less profitable couture division and concentrate solely on the less prestigious prêt-à-porter. These houses are no longer considered haute couture."

                Thanks, Kodak. It is amazing, isn't it?



                I am surprised to see names like Marc le Bihan on the schedule - weird. As always looking forward to Ann Valeri Hash and Boudicca (< - I LOVE them). And of course the next lunacy of Galliano is always entertaining... and Margiela, let's see what he will reconstruct this time.



                Kodak, if you want to read a bit of a socio-philosophical outlook on HC, Fashion at the Edge is a good book.

                  I always look forward to Galliano's creations. They are always spectacular yet elegant at the same time. Not quite... wearable of course, but man... "fashion as art" is epitomized by his haute couture show.
