Known as the pinnacle of the fashion world, Paris Fashion Week is the ultimate stage for unveiling haute couture collections. With a history of fashion shows dating back to 1945, the concept of fashion week officially began in 1973. Top designers present their upcoming collections through runway shows and presentations, connecting the audience with a rich fashion heritage. The four most important fashion weeks are held in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Paris is the only city to host a haute couture fashion week. An interesting fact is that in France, the term “haute couture” is a legally protected trademark that can only be used by the Ministry of Industry, subject to strict norms and regulations set by La Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture de Paris! It describes high-end bespoke fashion, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and luxurious materials.
