You know Couture is something French, only a few houses are granted the title, Elsa Schiaparelli was the last one to be accepted this year.
There is rigor in the selection, because couture requires the authenticity and the craftsmanship of les petites mains
It's for a seleted clientele, the wealthiest and most demanding.
Couture is not for everybody although at time the use of the word is misunderstood for made-to-measure or some sort of tailored version of clothing.
No.
If fashion is supposed to make you dream, couture is pure dream, the illusion that lifts you from reality.
REPEAT AFTER ME: #luxuryisastateofmind
I use it to escape, I use it to wipe my eyes with beauty and I suggest you do that too.
Watching and immersing myself in art, any form that pleases me, Puccini, Le Claire de Lune, An American in Paris, Monet's Les Petites Danseuses make me happy beyond everything else.
This past week I woke up earlier than normal just because Schiaparelli and Chanel were showing before the cock sings in Miami and it helped my day.
[...] "Couture is", to say it with Angelo Flaccavento, one of the most respected fashion journalists in the world at the moment, "is too slow, too elitist and too private" since "We live in a time of instant gratification and endless self-broadcasting."
The ultimate of craftsmanships, flights of fancy, enjoy the best of the best, la creme de la creme, the collections of pieces I loved the most.
