I say "Paris", you say...

Being the last city on the Fashion Week circuit, you know, once you get to Paris, you’ve officially made it as a fashion designer. Paris became the city of couture after the memorable year, 1947, where Dior’s “New Look” revolutionised fashion at the time.

With the “New Look” creating a glamorous and flattering hourglass figure, couture was brought back to a new height in the city of Paris, after the dark years during the war.

Every season, Paris is the couture capital and a selection of designers, including the King of Couture; John Galliano, display the most glorious, if not un-wearable, dresses. However the future of couture is cloudy with more and more people regarding couture as impractical, un-wearable and expensive. Only a few privileged people can afford and have the opportunity to wear something so extravagant and often outrageous.

Paris, to me, is fashion, with its numerous boutiques, huge department stores and designer shops. But Paris without couture would be simply terrible, darling!
