THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF HAUTE COUTURE - AN EXPANSION OF THE IMAGINATION, A SPACE BEYOND REASON. COUTURE IS A SPHERE OF FANTASY AND FREEDOM, OF THE UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL, WHERE CRAFT IS NOT A FETISHISTIC REFLECTION OF VALUE BUT A MEANS AND METHODOLOGY TO ACHIEVE IMPROBABILITIES, TO CHALLENGE PERCEPTIONS, TO CREATE BOLD NEW REALITIES. FABRIC BECOMES A CHIAROSCURO ACROSS THE BODY, VOLUMES FLOAT, CUTS ARE IMPERCEPTIBLE, A RIBBON OF CHIFFON MAY SUSPEND A BALL GOWN. THE UNBELIEVABLE BECOMES MATERIAL, IMAGINATION BECOMES REAL.
