Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy, fancy french aristocrat and founder of the House of Givenchy, has died at 91, reports WWD.

Couture shows are going down in Paree right now and so far, with a couple of exceptions—Iris!!! The Only Good Designer—they’re mostly a snooze of finery and chiffon (albeit, you know, couture-crafted). Alexandre Vauthier, though, the man who dresses the most interesting people on the red carpet, has gone further into…

French designer Hervé L. Leroux, who made the bandage dress a coveted staple among stars and socialites, has died at age 60.

It’s been a while since we’ve had to endure Juicy Couture’s project of making tracksuits uglier yet far more expensive. The Juicy Couture phenomenon of the late ’90s and early ’00s was a hallmark of a certain kind of celebrity fashion trend, one that is not only somewhat unattractive and unflattering, but also dull…

I spent about 36 seconds of the Women’s March over the weekend thinking about Karl Lagerfeld’s weak attempt at staging a feminist fashion march on his Spring 2015 runway, and wondered if he was watching, participating, or gave a fuck. And so, despite the dazzling handiwork in his couture show for Spring 2017, which…

On Friday, September 9, New York Fashion Week attendees shuffled into the Hammerstein Ballroom in midtown for the only show to present Spring/Summer 2017's hottest looks for dogs.

The Paris Spring 2016 Couture shows have kicked off with a bang (what, you couldn’t hear the rodeo cannon announcing it from where you’re sitting?) and as yet the most playful comes, unsurprisingly, from the House of Schiaparelli. Inspired in part by feminist artist Louise Bourgeois, creative director Bertrand Guyon…

In July 1961, an Associated Press photographer stopped by a showcase of autumn and winter fashions in Florence, Italy. Hats were apparently of particular interest. It is not an exaggeration to describe the results as magical.

Raf Simons, the designer behind three and a half very successful years at Christian Dior, has suddenly announced he will be leaving the French design house.

Men have always played an outsized role in women’s fashion, all things considered. Which is what makes late-seventeenth-century France and its powerful couturières so fascinating. Not to mention refreshing.

Here comes la mariée!

For their fall 2015 couture show, Viktor & Rolf—who recently announced they’ve quit the ready-to-wear business in order to focus entirely on couture—put models in an increasingly elaborate series of deconstructed artwork, frames and all.

It’s pretty confusing when a person you hate makes something you love, right?

This past week was Haute Couture Week in Paris, and you know what that means: lots of celebrities sat in chairs for 45-minute intervals, gazing upon garments that cost more than your rent for a month. They also had to dress up in order to do so.

Elie Saab showed his fall/winter couture collection in Paris yesterday; as usual, his creations were not necessarily the most groundbreaking gowns in existence, but who cares because they're all so opulent and gorgeous and what fairy nobility would wear around the kingdom.

Today in Paris, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli showed their fall/winter haute couture line for Valentino. The collection, as a whole, was gorgeous, regal, sensual — ancient goddess-wear with a modern twist.

Haute Couture Week glides along in a big-ass flouncy ball gown (or in experimental formal pants, depending on your mood): this morning, in Paris, Raf Simons showed his fall/winter couture line for Dior. It was very conceptual.

On Sunday, Donatella Versace kicked off Haute Couture Week with a sexy, tough, deconstructed take on fifties couture (I mean "deconstructed" quite literally; there were a lot of dramatic ballgowns with slits high enough to reveal the upper thigh).

London-based brand Ralph & Russo showed its first couture line in Paris this morning — the first time a British house was invited to show on the official couture calendar since 1915! — and its inaugural couture season, fittingly, hearkened back to Haute Couture's heyday.
