Ever wondered what goes into making one of those over-the-top haute
couture runway looks? This video, filmed at the Dior Haute Couture
Atelier, offers a peek.
The video,
follows the making of a dress from spring/summer 2011. It's pretty wild watching a
whole team of people devote what must be hundreds of hours of painstaking labor
to a single item of clothing.
“Couture” is a magic word. It conjures thoughts of impeccable
craftsmanship, visionary design, and legendary fashion moments. But,
most of us don't encounter haute couture very often, unless we're
looking at a celebrity on the red carpet, a model on a catwalk, or a
mannequin in a museum case.
It’s an incredible revelation, and when you discover what goes into these garments, the crazy prices on couture start to seem at least a little less crazy.

Think of this as a mini-trip to
Paris or a crash course into fashion’s highest form; either way, enjoy
your couture, concentrated.
