Couture is varied in its business models. The designers presenting in Paris this week range from established ateliers that have been stitching fantastical gowns for generations, to small-house specialists such as Alexis Mabille and Stephane Rolland, who lack significant advertising budgets but have regular rosters of international clients. There are also brands for whom the conceptual-fashion practice borders on pure art. The variety of strategies suggests that haute couture is rich with possibilities — offering a more defined audience and an obvious elite distinction for designers.
Givenchy, having re-entered the haute couture business with designer Clare Waight Keller last year, will show on Tuesday. There is also much speculation around when Hedi Slimane will debut the Celine couture collection that LVMH announced along with his appointment.
I always enjoy your specialized articles and extra information regarding Meghan and her wardrobe. Thank you. Thanks for such an interesting article MM!! I thought this was interesting as so many of the royal women wear bespoke pieces that according to my google search could cost as much as haute couture piece. That being said, I think this is a lovely dress, the folds at the neckline add visual interest and the silver beading on the sleeves is sublime.
Thanks for explaining this in detail. I do know that Meghan is my favorite woman to watch for style, along with Amal Clooney. The photo highlighted the gorgeous detail of the gown as well as the luxurious fabric.
That being said, with all that fabric maybe she can have it restyled to wear post pregnancy! Maybe just a slight adjustment on the plunging neckline! I love that gown! Thank you for this article! What a beautiful gown indeed and thank you for adding pictures of other beautiful gowns as well. I enjoyed reading this and learned from it. Now it only makes me want to wear haute couture and try to have the means to buy haute couture more!

With the Fall couture shows underway in Paris we decided to break down what haute couture actually is and what the fuss is all about. It was Worth who founded the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne to regulate the craft of haute couture. Haute couture continued during the war. When fabric rations went into effect, couturiers started doing presentations on dolls, the third of the size of women, to cut down on costs. Haute couture became the forum in the 20th century where the most gifted designers showed off their craft—Paul Poiret, Coco Chanel, and Cristobal Balenciaga among others.
