4. Building couture castles in the air......

Couture is my favourite season....it allows me to dream...fantasize....and lose myself in all the confectionery.... couture lets you imagine...build castles in the air...


Its more about a concept really than clothes put on a mannequin..ready for consumption....ready to wear i believe is like fast food...instant gratification..


Couture  is like gourmet cooking...lets you savour each flavour...
you want your eyes to not just see but experience a phenomenon of colour, cut, silhouette, embellishment...
you instinctively feel and understand the hours and labour that go to achieve the exact drape or the precise cut....


Its a precise art which has such a sense of romance....that you have no choice but to fall in love...
not the fleeting kind but a deep, lifelong, all consuming passion....


Which is why i want to review it in parts and details..not just an overall synopsis condensed to 'like' 'unlike'...that's what facebook is for...i want to analyze the collections myself....for me.
