Christian Dior Spring 2011 Haute Couture from Zimbio.com
Some say haute couture is a dying art -- with little relevance to more than an elite few... Others argue it's the ultimate expression for the creative masters like John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, and John Paul Gaultier and that the themes trickle down to future ready-to-wear collections. I say it's delicious fashion eye-candy and I can't get enough.

Each couture piece is meticulously handmade by artisans using the most exquisite materials. Prices are astronomical. But If you are lucky enough to buy a look from a couture collection, know that you are purchasing a piece of history, a connection with a fashion genius (expect multiple fittings with the designer himself) and literally, an item of clothing like no other.
We can dream, can't we?
