Paris being Paris, each season it has to host one extra Fashion Week ahead of all the others: the Haute Couture Week. Haute Couture is French for High Fashion and such weeks are meant to showcase the highest and fanciest form of sewing, dressmaking, and designing. For a brand to be aloud to be an “Haute Couture” house, it must follow a certain number of criteria including offering made-to-order private designs, having a workshop in Paris, presenting full collections each season etc.
This Spring Summer 2017 Haute Couture week is ending today and if you missed it, don’t worry about nothing ’cause we summed up what we think were the best moments for you…
