And, in 1945 the governing body of French fashion, now known as the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, registered a legal designation of “Haute Couture.” Still, the métier remains the Greta Garbo of the fashion system: glamorous, mysterious, and elusive.Viktor & RolfPhoto: Alessandro Lucioni / Gorunway.
There are times, such as now, when couture feels vital, the highest expression of new ideas. But there have been periods, such as after the infusion of energy provided by Christian Lacroix in the late 1980s, when couture seemed to be operating in an “I want to be left alone” mode. When that happens, hands are wrung until, with perfect timing, the “star” gathers her skirts, raises her chin, and makes a grand entrance once again—always in a new guise. She’s taken on a new role this season.
When we talk about couture, we are really talking about shape-shifting. It’s not only that silhouettes change, but we periodically reconfigure the meaning we assign to couture as well. And often this is related to changes in the ways we look at women’s bodies and roles in society. At around the same time that Coco Chanel introduced the streamlined, cylindrical, and somewhat androgynous silhouette, American women had gained suffrage and the Model T was being mass-produced.
We didn’t get a single new silhouette for fall 2021, but we did get a reshaping of couture on material and conceptual levels—along with four debuts.

In the strong desire to impress and be different, some produce absolute horrors. I love the confidence that beauty and class and quality are most important. Armani is a talent that doesn’t need to shock.
