If it is July, then there must be a week of haute couture. But for how long?
Consider that couture no longer pushes fashion forward. Consider that the names seem to dwindle down each season. And exactly how many couture clients are left in this era of the Great Recession?
There are those who would say that the time for very expensive dresses is completely over.
That might be the case. However, the look and feel of a dress that is made by hand, that moves with the knowledge of wearer's movement sewn into it requires years to make technique look magical. To create this kind of poetry through fabric is one of the sacred arts of the world.
Because in this world that prefers keystrokes to craft, human artistry is indeed one of those mysteries that we should preserve.
A special thanks to those couture suppliers who helped to make the Lacroix show such a beautiful gift.
