Paris Couture Week Photos: Street Style and Runway Shows

Who hasn’t been in a situation where, at first, something may seem innocuous, but the longer you consider it, the more you pause. Broadly speaking, this is how I feel when couture is described as whimsical. Though the term captures the elaborate garments’ fanciful nature, it can suggest that they are not made to be worn. It can also impart a capriciousness to an art form that involves painstaking construction and hundreds, if not thousands of hours, of work — oftentimes to create a single piece.
