What is Haute Couture Fashion Week?

The difference between Haute Couture and the ready-to-wear fashion weeks of New York, London, Paris and Milan are the clothes showcased. Haute Couture Fashion Week's offerings are handmade, avant-garde garments designed for a very elite clientele. (In fact, only houses that have been approved by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode can present during this week.)

While ready-to-wear shows take place in February and September, Couture Fashion Week happens in January (for the spring/summer shows) and July (for autumn/winter), and solely in Paris, often cited as the international home of fashion.

But, whether or not your bank balance will stretch to a couture fit, the catwalks (and pavements) are a hotbed of style inspiration for the year ahead. So fashion fans, take note!
