The question is what is the visible difference between the two? Yes they are made in France and custom made for clients but with so good ready to wear collections I think Couture must continue to raise the bar of creativity and innovation.Matter Of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141167982326852808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620228904389470663.post-58956347011023971122013-02-10T09:33:32.927+01:002013-02-10T09:33:32.927+01:00It sounds likes they already have put a limitation...It sounds likes they already have put a limitation on the dream in that it has to be wearable.

The craftsmanship is incredibly high, the materials unique or very high quality... some of these runway looks would have involved HUNDREDS of hours of artisan hand sewing to complete. Plus now the world is - apparently - heading out of recession high end clients may be looking for more sleek designs and less frills and escapism? <br /><br /><3 Paula Shoe Fiend<br />http://shoe-fiend.blogspot.co.uk/Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667142332264503375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620228904389470663.post-58657226701332102082013-02-07T13:15:31.853+01:002013-02-07T13:15:31.853+01:00Haute Couture transforms in to a pure art..

Whil...Good article about a very interesting debate. While haute couture doesn't specifically mean or require a fantasy or anything over the top this is very much what it is associated with. I think this change that is currently being seen everywhere actually is all about fashion houses going back to the roots of haute couture, which is high level craftmanship and sewing, rather than creativity per se. I really like it and I think Raf Simons SS 13 couture show for Dior does a beautiful job at it. The clothes have an incredibly exclusive feel to them thanks to the exquisite detailing and stunning tailoring, which is what haute couture should be all about (though in my opinion this doesn't need to exclude theatrical designs).Dankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682096741611278501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620228904389470663.post-11205584925328882812013-02-06T12:51:03.542+01:002013-02-06T12:51:03.542+01:00to answer the blogpost: I hope not!
