Falling down...

This is how I see Haute Couture now, falling down. A luxury for only a few fortunates. The recession is huge, and despite of the fact that I consider HC pure creativity, seems to me like a bit inapropriated to even think about it.

Así es como veo la Alta Costura. Un lujo destinado a unos pocos. Con las dimensiones que está adquiriendo la crisis, y a pesar de que considero la Alta Costura creatividad en estado puro, me parece que está inapropiado incluso hasta pensar en ella.

Hombre, yo creo que los que compraban Alta Costura lo van a seguir haciendo...son los menos perjudicados por la crisis.

I think most couture customers are way too rich to be affected by the crisis anyway. I have a complete lack of morals when it comes to haute couture, I'd be devastated if it ever dissappeared.

Uh oh, Karl must have been so annoyed.

I hope haute couture doesn't fall away, I consider it an art form. The economy is bad, but I don't think it means artists should stop creating and inspiring.

THE HOUSE OF STYLE said...

darling this is so true,so thought provoking.though i think most haute couture customers are not being affectd by the economic down turn so I think Haute couture will go on.

To everybody: I don't want HC to disappear or something like that, I just said that I feel bad thinking about it when so many people are having so much $$ trouble, but OF COURSE not meaning that HC should disappear!!

Es que nunca llevan zapatos de su talla, los suelos resbalan, si es que no sé como desfilan a veces con tanta seguridad!!!

lo mío es una teoría muy casera pero creo que cuando unos (muchos) se hunden... otros crecen (y mucho). y me sabe muy mal que se caigan las modelos. un abrazo enorme, XX!
