“[*Haute couture implies precision in lines] Haute couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation, ... If, in ready-to-wear, a garment is manufactured according to standard sizes, the haute couture garment adapts to any imperfection in order to eliminate it.”
Yves Saint Laurent

Aristotle

Christian Lacroix

Deborah Hazen
