Haute couture is a byword for exclusivity, and mostly associated with French houses that could trace their roots to the middle of the last century, if not earlier. This week’s schedule is still packed with names like Chanel and Christian Dior. But even the highest echelons of luxury fashion are not immune to globalisation. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has gradually opened up, both by broadening its official ranks and inviting guest designers from regions that were previously afterthoughts on the schedule at best.
