HAUTE COUTURE FASHION WEEK SS17

Good morning loves,

It has certainly been a while since we had some fun and fab collections on the blog…

So I thought, while I recap the Spring-Summer ready-to-wear trends, why not showcase the couture collections?

haute couture |ˌōt ko͞oˈto͝or|

noun

expensive, fashionable clothes produced by leading fashion houses.

the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing.

Haute couture is high-end fashion that is constructed by hand from start to finish. It is made from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable sewers, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

Don’t expect to see your average, run-of-the-mill, easy-to-wear clothing here….no ma’am!

These collections are fun and fantastic, and allow designers’ creativity to run free.

Some you may recognize pieces from editorials I’ve posted, others from red carpet events.

But, even if you don’t, I hope you at least appreciate the level of skill and talent that it takes to execute these completely hand. stitched. designs.

I repeat.

Hand. Stitched.

And if there’s a takeaway for today it’s:

Be limitless; Be fastidious; Be creative!

Enjoy!

xx
