Quote from the article:

For Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior, haute couture is about craft, and the work of the ateliers. “Couture brands have a responsibility to support this knowledge,” she said backstage before a show smothered with embroidery, dripping in technique, a feast for the eyes that represented thousands of hours of work by Dior’s seamstresses. For Chanel, couture is about the clients. “Our objective is to give to our customers what they want to have,” says Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion. “Haute couture is the ultra luxury experience. It’s unique.” He does reason, however, that the show — for Chanel, and everyone else — is about the image. “You can consider that the advertising budget,” he said, an hour or so before Charlotte Casiraghi, 11th in line to the throne of Monaco, rode a horse through a Constructivist manège to memorably begin Chanel’s punt for this season’s couture trade

my dior SA kindly extended an invitation to the Paris show (dior to cover hotel, some lunches and dinners, events , and a car and driver as well as set up optional couture, atelier, and archive appts, and the reopening of the flagship). For some clients (Saks dior and others, not us) dior will also cover airfare. Sadly DH and I are unable to go. We cannot make the dates work. There is no guarantee such an invitation would ever be extended again as my SA had to strongly advocate to get it (we are new to the brand). But, from what I’ve heard it will be splendid. If anyone here is attending, I hope they will share the excitment :smile:

:nuts: How exciting! I would probably rearrange my entire life/quit job/leave everyone behind if I were to ever receive such an invite (joking, of course, I know how difficult it can be to make these kind of things work when you have prior obligations). I really hope that you will get the opportunity again as you will continue to be good friends of the brand in the years to come.
