Paris Fashion Week: Nexus of Haute Couture
Paris is always a
good idea. – Audrey Hepburn
Does it bear repeating? Paris has been the nexus of creativity in fashion and haute couture since the 17th century. Lest we forget, the very word haute couture, never mind the industry itself, was born in France.

Organized by the Fédération Française de la Couture du Prêt-à-Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, it will host 92 shows featuring Fall/Winter collections from March 1st to March 9, primarily at the Carrousel du Louvre. Twenty-five nationalities are represented here, with shows and events also taking place at the Palais de Tokyo and the Press Center, located in the alcôve Henrique Oliveira.
This
season the Mairie de Paris will display flags and
posters of the promotional campaign « La Mode Aime Paris » throughout
the 15 days of Fashion Week. Designers
Apartment will also hold
its eighth session at Atelier Richelieu (60 rue de Richelieu, Paris 2e) from
