Something I always remember when comparing High Street and Couture Fashion is a quote from a designer I completely adore and admire to the highest level possible...VALENTINO.
He is the ultimate couture designer, I watched a documentary on the very genius as well as the film based around one of his last shows before his retirement a couple of years ago.
He gets so passionate about the politics of good style for example how a woman should never been seen flaunting her ankles under an evening gown, how offended it made him feel just thinking about it.
When you compare religions like that to high street do's and dont's, not to mention the very attitude towards high street is a lot more free and liberated in the sense that less is more couldn't be further from the truth...the more flesh you flaunt the better!!!
(Just goes to show how different these two worlds are doesn't it!)
So for me, Couture equals class, sophistication and timeless elegance. However, for High street really is being a peacock about yourself and getting out what you have, opening up your wild side and showing it all off in the most eye catching, show stopping way possible... (Not worrying about a little cheeky ankle showing in the process!)
