Summary

• "Haute couture often dazzles us with its precision, craftsmanship and the extravaganza inherent in it. Clothing items are made out of proportion; unique materials are used and everything is hand-finished. But, the Prêt-à-porter collections of today comply with the classic principles of Haute Couture. The items shown on the catwalk should theoretically be wearable, but often in reality this is not entirely the case. Haute-à-Porter examines the relationship between Haute Couture and prêt-à-porter collections and shows the evolution in their relationship over the past 25 years. Includes conversations with Angelo Flaccavento, Antonio Mancinelli, Alexander Fury, Colin McDowell, Farida Khelfa, Irene Silvagni, Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni, Nicole Phelps, Pierre Hardy, Robin Schulié, Rick Owens, Stephen Jones, Thom Browne, Tim Blanks, Vivienne Westwood, Yohji Yamamoto, Zandra Rhodes, Viktor & Rolf and many more Photographs and artworks by Ali Mahdavi, Anthony Maule, Brian Griffin, Daniel Jackson, Erik Madigan Heck, Fabien Baron, François Berthoud, Giampaolo Sgura, Jackie Nickerson, Kevin Tachman, Luigi & Iango, Michal Pudelka, Mikael Jansson, Miles Aldridge, Peter Lindbergh, Rene Habermacher, Txema Yeste, Sebastian Kim, Sheila Metzner and others"--Publisher's description.
• Haute couture doet ons vaak duizelen door de precisie, het ambacht en de extravaganza die erbij komt kijken. Kleren worden uit proportie gebracht, unieke materialen worden gebruikt en alles wordt met de hand afgewerkt. Maar ook de prêt-à-portercollecties van vandaag voldoen aan de klassieke principes van haute couture. De stukken die op de catwalk worden getoond, zouden in theorie draagbaar moeten zijn, maar zijn dat in realiteit vaak helemaal niet. Haute-à-Porter onderzoekt de relatie tussen haute couture en prêt-à-portercollecties en toont de evolutie in hun verhouding de afgelopen 25 jaar.
