paris couture

although it is a seemingly shrinking entity there are
a handful of couture houses still showing. the scale
of the shows may pale in comparison with days past but
they definitely continue to make a spectacle nonetheless.
of course names like chanel, dior, galliano, armani and
gaultier are still on show and they are making their
presence known in shows dominated with color.
