Couture's Coming

It’s a new year, which means a whole new slew of fashion weeks are fast approaching! Couture Week is the first on the agenda, starting January 22 in Paris, France. Contrary to popular belief, Couture Week is probably the most important of all the fashion weeks. It is the only week where designers don’t have to succumb to marketable demand. The whole purpose is not for a collection to fit a trend report, but to send the most noncommercial, original, or unexpected looks down the runway. Subsequently, designers like Galliano can release their creativity with abandon. Couture Week is when we really discover what is on the designer’s mind. Get ready for it! It’ll be presented in less than 3 weeks...

Im so excited because I am moving from Sydney to London and the 1st Feb...so London FW will be like 2 weeks after I arrive...it'll be great to be in a city that has a big fashion week (rather than Sydney's poor excuse!)

That's fabulous! But dont bash Sydney, now... Australia is without a doubt an up-and-coming fashion hotspot! Fortunately for you, London has been and always will be a fashion capital. I hope you love it!
