As we anticipate London Fashion Week (only a few weeks to go she says with a shriek). Across the shore the fashion elite are enjoying 'S/S14 Haute Couture Fashion Week '. Yes the designers are pulling out all the stops to create custom-made, hand-made, exquisite pieces for what is known as Haute Couture, French for 'high fashion'.
Notable couture houses, Chanel, Christian Dior, and Valentino have been creating one off pieces for years. This year one show caught my attention. On January 22nd 2014 in the Theatre National De Challot, Paris (she says in her best french accent). The models of fashion brand Elie Saab graced the catwalk in the most stunning gowns, dresses, frocks, robes I may have ever seen.
My first thoughts.....
Stunning colour, fabric and design, needlework art and how much do these garments cost?
Well a rainbow of colours, pink, red, gold, blue, purple and black. Beautiful fabrics, lace and silk to name a few, in the most amazing floor length, knee length,structured designs.
And the needlework.... art comes to mind, hand stitched beads and hand sewn lace.
All draw droopingly exquisite.
And for the price, lets not even think about it...we can only dream.
