The magic that is Haute Couture Fashion Week wrapped up last week in the glistening
city of Paris. It is an event which occurs twice a year, once for Spring/Summer
collections in January and a Fall/Winter collection in July, and is the time
when the dreams of fashion grace the runways, unbound by the needs and demands
of ready-to-wear (prêt-à-porter)
fashion.
These two weeks a year I always sit
fascinated on my computer watching seemingly impossible works of art grace the
runways. Being able to actually watch these shows live and have my own piece of
Haute Couture both have proud places
on my fashion bucket list. But what is Haute
Couture really?
