The beautiful, frivolous designs that could only be worn by models on the catwalk seem to be a luxury that is outdated in our modern, fast fashion society, where celebs are often pictured wearing High Street, and Lanvin, Jil Sander, Karl Lagerfeld are names that can be found in Uniqlo and H&M as well as in their own luxury boutiques. But every year Paris Couture week…
