Gentle Reader -
There once was a debate in fashion that went something like this:
Is a dress designed on a body better than a dress based from a sketch?
Chanel herself thought so, but in haute couture, it really did not matter - ultimately, a dress still had to move perfectly, and both methods could achieve this. How? Because the dress was made by hand...actually, lots of them.
There are still some ready-to-wear dresses that have a bit of that "made by hand" quality we ascribe to the couture, as evidenced at times by Lanvin under Alber Ebaz.
The importance of a stunning dress is what it does, how it moves, how it transforms a woman.
A bit of human magic, added to genius, is sometimes all it takes to make that happen.
